Don’t Hire an Editor Like the Editor I Was Back Then
By Lillian Yates Duggan Back then was about ten years ago. I was a mother of two squeezing in freelance editing work while my kids were at school. My editing career had zigzagged all over the place…

This is how it’s done
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.

There has been a rush among centrists like Gavin Newsom and Ezra Klein to brush over the hateful life of Charlie Kirk and valorize the man.

Let me be clear, killing Charlie Kirk was wrong and abhorrent.

We must condemn murder without sanitizing a man who built his empire on hate.

My latest piece.
We Must Not Posthumously Sanitize Charlie Kirk's Hateful Life
Influential anti-LGBTQ+ activist Charlie Kirk was assassinated on Wednesday. While condemning violence is something most can get behind, sanitization of his hate has gone too far.

Just a heads up. I was able to schedule my COVID vaccine appointment. Online it will ask “do you have a condition that puts you at high risk for severe outcomes from COVID-19 virus.”

Click yes and it will allow you to schedule an appointment.

No questions asked.

No proof required.

Pass it on.

Thank you so much for this honor, Brevity Blog!
Wishing peace and power to the trans community today. As the mother of a trans daughter, I also send hugs.
I can’t help but love this!
Wonderful news!!!
BREAKING: Judge Ana Reyes blocks Trump’s anti-trans military ban EO and the orders implementing it. She stays her order until 10a March 21 to allow the government to seek a stay from the DC Circuit. storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.us...
Wouldn’t want to be severed during childbirth or work. Just for reading the news.

Hi all, We’re still here at OPM.

We have a situation where we MIGHT, and I do mean, MIGHT have four of Elon’s people blocked from the building.

Can we get press or a member of Congress down here? We’ve blocked them for two hours and they keep coming back and trying to go in.
Wondering how many of them voted for him
What are you doing about it, Chuck???

Oh I did not see it. Was face down, thank goodness
Thank you, Mara! It could take a little time but I’m glad the shot is over with. Looking forward to being more mobile!
Yep, I was there! The group I cofounded, Westfield 20/20, worked with John and NJ7 Citizens for Change
Happy to see some friends in this video. It’s beautiful, John.
Just had epidural injection to reduce back pain from a herniated disc. Thinking lunch might be a bottle of Cabernet.
