I will reiterate that if you are an independent journo/hobbyist I will happily set up your ghost install and host it for a few quid above cost price.

You set up your own stripe and mailgun accounts, and you get to keep ALL your revenue.

And post migration from wordpress/substack is pretty easy.
If there is one resolution I want for journalists this year: it is to get off S*bstack and use Ghost or any other indy publishing platform that does not fund literal nazis instead.

In plaats daarvan krijgen we de illegale invasie van een soeverein land, ontvoering van een leider en een kolonisatieplannen voorgeschoteld als een Netflixserie. Compleet in de taal van Trump en zijn criminele bende. What the actual fuck??

I'm a prison abolitionist, which is why I believe that if you ask grok to turn someone's selfie into pornography, you should be dumped in the middle of the jungle with nothing, not even the clothes on your back, and left to fend for yourself :)

Marco Rubio is reportedly saying Maduro will stand trial in US courts.

Which means it’s now the US administration’s position that US courts can hold foreign presidents, but not the US president, accountable for crimes.

Een treffende illustratie van hoe media ongelijkheid reproduceren: witte stemmen krijgen herstel, ruimte en tweede kansen; stemmen van kleur worden sneller gecorrigeerd, gesanctioneerd of zelfs verwijderd. Zo bepaalt de krant wie mag schuren en wie moet zwijgen.

Dat Rosanne Herzberger haar column terugkrijgt bij NRC laat zien hoe rekbaar principes zijn. Het ondermijnen van transrechten en het normaliseren van extreemrechts vormt blijkbaar geen principiële grens. Wie de feiten te direct benoemt, zoals Hassnae Bouazza, moet weg wegens ‘gebrek aan nuance’.

NYT when a cis woman wants to take testosterone: 🤩🤩🤩🤩🤩
Earlier this year, we published an article on how women are increasingly seeking out testosterone to help with energy or their sex lives. We followed up with one woman who went on testosterone to help with her menopausal symptoms. The effects had unexpected consequences for her marriage.

Only one story, in the New Republic, made the direct connection between Kennedy’s repeated peddling of junk science and the effort to end healthcare for transgender minors.
Trans youth healthcare is based in decades of research and supported by every major medical organization in the US. Under RFK Jr, a handpicked panel produced a dodgy report claiming otherwise.

It's a clear example of Kennedy's war on science. So why aren't news organizations treating it that way?
The Neglected Front in RFK Jr.’s War on Science — Assigned
As trans healthcare is decimated no one is standing up for the integrity of the scientific process for these patients.
