Earlier this year, I had the privilege of interviewing @vanessa_vash for @Sojourners. That story published today. As global leaders gather at #COP27, I'm reminded of her remark that the answers we seek are often with the activists. sojo.net/sojoshare/MjI2OTd8M…

It's Time to Talk About the Climate Emergency (Not That One Photo)

The image that first brought Ugandan climate activist Vanessa Nakate to many people's attention is one that cropped her out. Now, she spreads her message without apology or fear of erasure.

In today’s second @washingtonpost TikTok, North Carolina’s governor vetoed a 12-week abortion ban. There’s a lot of details to cover, so I played a walkthrough of ‘Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom’ while explaining for all our ADHD friends out there. tiktok.com/t/ZTRKsT73r/

What does it mean to be an ally? What does support really mean? @rachjuramirez says it’s a relationship: trust, intentionality, amplifying and uplifting the work of EJOCs. You gotta “walk the walk”.

the plan? remove legacy checkmarks from journalists and other public figures so users can impersonate them and spread disinformation further eroding the public’s trust in the media

One of the worst things about these layoffs is seeing a familiar pattern of "wanting to speak to a younger, more diverse audience" while shifting resources away from work that does exactly that.
Louder Than A Riot@LouderThanARiot23 Mar 2023
Replying to @LouderThanARiot
The hardest part is that our szn is about misogynoir queer, trans, Black women face in hip-hop. Yet w/in NPR, the majority impacted in these layoffs were queer, poc staff & programs. NPR has claimed qtpoc ppl are the same ppl they are trying to reach with their "North Star". 3/4

.@washingtonpost & @KFF conducted the largest nongovernmental randomized survey of U.S. transgender adults. The results informed a series of stories that will start rolling out today with important findings and context by @caseyparks @EmGusk @sfcpoll washingtonpost.com/dc-md-va/…

Most trans adults say transitioning made them more satisfied with their lives

The Post-KFF survey is the largest, nongovernmental survey of transgender Americans using randomized sampling methods.
