I really appreciated this episode. A lot of families don't ever make the progress yours has, but it's encouraging to see that it's possible and that they understand and respect you despite the differences in belief.

I wrote much less this year than I've written in the past five, so there's not a whole lot to revisit. This piece, though, I still think is probably the best article I've ever written, even if it was a dumb professional move to write it [free to read] www.patreon.com/posts/empero...

This is sublimely creepy, but CW if you're easily spooked or deal with religious anxiety. I think it wields those themes brilliantly, but it helps to have some distance. www.youtube.com/watch?v=MwkU...

UNTIL IT’S DONE, Ep. 4: Sylvia Rivera
In the 1970s, queer New Yorkers had been pushed to the margins of NYC. Our trans neighbors faced immense cruelty. But in Sylvia Rivera, they found a champion.
As we combat Trump’s politics of darkness, her legacy can light the path forward.
