As a Black woman who hopes to bring new life into this world someday, I found writing this BMJ feature both challenging and insightful... and, at times, hopeful. I suspect you'll have a similar experience reading it www.bmj.com/content/388/...

I'm still in two minds about this (and might delete and make the newsletter private) but for now, you're invited to subscribe for my infrequent observations about how we see the world and how the world sees us. Enjoy!

Black and white photo of Samara Linton. Text reads: Mirrors & Margins is where I reflect on how we see the world and hoe the world sees us.

for a piece, I'm looking to speak to Muslim Covid-19 frontline workers (who are still doing a similar job now) -- taxi or delivery drivers, transport, healthcare, teachers, supermarkets. Especially keen to speak to people outside of London. DM me if this is you! #journorequest

Finally started a Substack but can't decide if I should restrict it to people I know (for accountability, writing feedback etc) or open it up to the masses...

Re: CDC HIV-related webpages... "pages have been replaced with edited versions that omit any mention of transgender people... A page about smoking cessation, for example, now refers to “LGBQ+” instead of “LGBTQ+” people." Trans people cannot be erased. www.poz.com/article/cdc-...

CDC Pulls, Partially Restores HIV Web Content
Federal health agency websites are largely back online, but information about transgender people has been removed.

Writers, if you ever wrote for the Shondaland magazine/website, I just found out that it's gone. So here's your reminder to always make clips when you publish. Off to dig up mine so I can fix the dead links on my website...

What are the mediocrities going to do when they find out that “DEI” isn’t their problem? I’m curious.

UK WRITERS: You need to fill in this consulation. Govt is very clearly looking to an opt-out model of rights licensing that puts all the burden on creators instead of profiteers. It's long and boring but this is important. www.gov.uk/government/c...
