1. I'm a leading trans journalist, and I have made my final post on Twitter.

Erin In The Morning is now making its move to Bluesky, as Twitter is no longer fit for journalistic content.

Meanwhile, this platform is soaring.

Subscribe to support my journalism. Let's talk.

I have faced fascism before, in this very country. I was one of 120,000 Japanese Americans summarily rounded up and expelled from our homes at gunpoint, all for the crime of looking like the people who bombed Pearl Harbor.

I spent my childhood behind barbed wire. My parents lost everything. 1/

Alright, #BlerdSky, we know “nerd” is a pretty big umbrella term.

Which nerdy subcultures are you already part of and which do you still want to get into?

Anyway everyone should spend 2025 getting as much out of Obamacare as they can before it is repealed. Go to the dentist. Get a colonoscopy. Get a mammogram.

If you have a few bucks to burn, you might consider tossing some at @polls.pizza today. That's a nonprofit that sends pizzas to people who are waiting in long lines to vote, which sounds like a funny bit but which is actually a big deal during our age of voter suppression! polls.pizza

Pizza to the Polls is making democracy delicious by delivering free food for all to polling places with long lines. Send us reports of long lines and we'll send in the delicious reinforcements.

“A sweeping bill introduced by a Democratic senator Wednesday would greatly increase the size of the Supreme Court, make it harder for the justices to overturn laws, require justices to undergo audits and remove roadblocks for high court nominations.”

seriously, acting like the idea is no big deal is just…incredibly ignorant.

our current lack of support for people attempting to keep elderly relatives alive in the U.S. is just astounding. addressing that would be huge.
if you look at the announcement about medicare expansion to cover long-term care and think the proper response is a cool lefty shrug, consider literally never talking to me about it.
