Jayden had written the phrases ‘No Pride in Genocide’, ‘Free Gaza’ and ‘F*** the IDF’ […] the staffers took exception to the word ‘genocide’.
“They said, ‘We can’t be seen taking sides’”.
Being against genocide is controversial. I still can’t wrap my head around that.

Stop wasting money on getting dragged through courts and tribunals for withholding support to which people are lawfully entitled via programs like social security, the NDIS, etc. Lawyers aren't cheap and the return on investment is good for productivity.

I have no words for the incandescent rage at the casual erasure of disabled folks, because this shit happens far too often. @sfdirewolf.bsky.social was fierce about living life & speaking truth in ways we can all learn from. Honour her memory by masking up & protecting public health.
The new owners of Teen Vogue have already erased her column.

A Sharon Begley byline, almost 5 years after her death.
Upon hearing the news James Watson had died, a STAT reporter said in our Slack, "I wish I could read what Sharon would have written."
Incredible news: Sharon in fact did pre-write a Watson obit. And it is masterful and excoriating.
