this. do you know how embarassing it was to watch a sporting event on tv in a room where you're the only trans person? and that "kamala is for they them ad" comes on and everyone knows it's about you? and they all just kinda laugh nervously or look uncomfortable? because it wears on us.

i know this TIME cover might seem bleak but in my experience this means that AI won’t be allowed in the bathroom within 5-10 years

it's so exhausting to have nobody talking about in the media or otherwise about how much harder it has gotten to exist in society as a trans person. i gotta worry about peeing at the airport. i know people who won't go get their drivers license updated and you're joking about pronouns

DDHQ — so goated, so underrated. Honestly I have no idea why so many outlets stick with the AP when this outfit has much better data & the ability to make faster calls

Political violence disproportionately hurts people with less power, not people with more power. Political violence will disproportionately hurt people of color and women and LGBTQ people. It’s not fair, but that’s the way it works. Celebrating political violence means at best indifference to that.

In this tumultuous moment, Texas is still unique in its mind-boggling extremes. Texas loves to pick on queer kids. Yet, Texas is one of the queerest states in the country. Nearly 20% of our residents were born in another country, but we’ve vilified those neighbors. thebarbedwire.com/2025/09/10/t...

After a Year of Covering Texas, It Still Makes No Damn Sense
The wonderful, horrible, nonsensical nature of our schizophrenic state underlines why honest, independent journalism is so badly needed.

If you cannot go to the bathroom at work, you cannot go to work. If you cannot go to the bathroom at school, you cannot go to school. This effectively bans transgender people from a broad swath of public life in the UK

New — The National Center for Missing & Exploited Children (NCMEC) was told this week by DOJ that they'd lose their funding if the org didn't remove any mentions of LGBTQIA+ issues from their public materials, I've learned. Staff were told they need to deadname trans kids in their reports to comply.

From John Nova Lomax's "The Sole of Houston" on walking all of Westheimer
to the spur was our Mecca. There we had one last swig of vodka to toast our success.
So, had we found the soul of Houston? Yes, I would have to say that we did, such as it is. It's ugly, preposterous and inhuman, interspersed with all-too-rare pockets of serenity and beauty. It smells like roasting corn, raw sewage, fish sauce, frying hamburgers and exhaust. (Heavy on the exhaust.) There's sex and God at one end of it and plain old sex at the other. It's chic and tacky, humble and proud. It's Vietnamese, Mexican, Korean, black, white, Muslim and Christian, macho and effete, alive and dead, Red State and Blue. It sounds like the whooshing of cars, and if you close your eyes, you can delude yourself into believing they're waves lapping at a beach. It's the American dream, and it's a prison. And it's got the best sweet tea. Great!
Walk! Super! Indeed.

My hottest food take is that the best roasted chicken (oven/spit roast/rotisserie) is better than the best fried chicken.

From my essay in June on why I quit congressional journalism: “Imagine an entire class of people losing access to healthcare without any warning, and you’ll know why I’m worried about the future. Expect this to come back again should Republicans win big in the fall.” medium.com/@jaelholzman...

Why I’m leaving congressional journalism.
