Got a like from a stranger on Letterboxd today for my review of Trade Center (2021), which makes me happy. (If you haven't heard of this short, www.shortoftheweek.com/2021/09/08/t… sums it up pretty well. I saw it at the Leather Archives a while back.)

The voices of five gay men who cruised for sex at the World Trade Center in the 1980s and 1990s haunt the sanitized, commerce-driven landscape that is the newly rebuilt Freedom Tower campus.

Screenshot of a comment on Wikimedia Meta-Wiki (link in reply). Text is as follows:

Response from the Board of Trustees
The Wikimedia Foundation Board of Trustees has heard the calls from community members regarding voluntary union recognition at the Wikimedia Foundation. We want to acknowledge the care and commitment to movement values behind these calls.

The Board does not manage the Foundation's day-to-day work, including employment decisions. Our role is to provide oversight and long-term direction.

We support the Foundation's decision to ask for a secret-ballot vote. This is not a rejection of a union. It is a commitment to ensuring that every eligible staff member can make their own decision freely, privately, and democratically. Some staff have expressed concern about feeling pressured to support the union, and that makes a fair, private process especially important. Everyone deserves the right to express their views without pressure or intimidation from anyone. Foundation leadership has a responsibility to protect the rights of all staff, regardless of a staff member's views on unionization. A secret ballot is the fairest way to ensure every employee has a choice in this decision. Everyone having a voice reflects Wikimedia values, and we would hope that all the members of the Wikimedia communities share this view. - LLosa (WMF) (talk) 20:49, 30 July 2026 (UTC)
