I remember when think-pieces was not a dirty word, because it wasn’t a place for bigots to play “devils advocate“, but a place for marginalized people to offer new perspectives. Sigh! Those were the days.

still really proud of this piece - I wrote it before the theft software we've been falsely calling "A.I." became ubiquitous, but I think it still outlines all the ways these ghoulish processes are an affront to the dignity of the living and the dead.

@kittystryker.bsky.social launches her new book, "Love Rebels" at Mrs. Dalloway's bookstore in Berkeley this Thursday. I've been reading it on PDF, and it's a smart, readable approach to activism that's much needed right now.

Go check it out if you can!

"The activism being done in the underground and its various levels of online / offline community is not meant to be glamorous. It’s not “content” to be shared by influencers as a slickly edited TikTok, or an edgy tweet, or an Instagram slide deck. It’s the un-monetizeable and deeply unsexy work"

Activism and community building online may be critical, but it's also increasingly subject to surveillance. Trans and queer activists are looking toward new models, with degrees of visibility that balance safety with surveillance, just as sex workers have learned to do.

The return of the trans underground

The internet once helped trans people connect and organize. Now it’s a dangerous liability. What comes next?

This is truly outrageous: Fenway Health (formerly the Fenway Community Health Center) has a long history (over 50 years!) of offering the most queer and trans affirming healthcare in Boston. It was founded specifically by and for the queer community!

Alejandra Caraballo @esqueer.net · 2d

Fenway health in Boston has stopped providing gender affirming care to trans youth.

I was previously on the board of this organization and I've never been so disgusted with their leadership cowardly capitulating like this.

Alt text:
Statement from Fenway Health explaining that due to new federal requirements effective October 1, 2025, they can no longer provide medical gender-affirming care such as hormones and puberty blockers to patients under 19, but all other services for patients of all ages will continue unchanged.

Multiple airports are now announcing they will refuse to play Kristi Noem’s government-funded video blaming “Democrats” for the government shutdown.
