But he made a video with his daughter!!

Hoping this was also a way to not make it about the Spanish federation ….

I dunno something poetic about our blue check marks going away the same day elon's rocket blows up....

There's also a new Gilmore Women if you want a palate cleanser after all that. Maggie Mertens and I wrote it under the influence of wine, Girl Scout cookies, and the excitement of finally watching together in person, and I think it shows

The surprising truth about seasonal depression. (via Maggie Mertens for The Atlantic in News+)

'I felt like I was nothing without that group. Because they were my whole world. And by design, I was isolated.' I spoke with Kara Goucher for Sports Illustrated about her book THE LONGEST RACE, the abuse & isolation she experienced & why she's speaking up now. si.com/more-sports/20…

Only a small percentage of the U.S. population experiences seasonal depression during the winter months, which is in no way commensurate with the casual way so many Americans apply the term to themselves, Maggie Mertens writes: on.theatln.tc/iWDgr2o

'The seasons do affect our lives...although a growing body of research shows that major psychological effects such as depression and cognitive slowdown are likely not what most of us are experiencing during winter.' theatlantic.com/family/archive… via Maggie Mertens

Did you read that unverified first-person account about the St Louis transgender clinic that ran on Bari Weiss’ site?

Now read this deeply reported piece in which the Post-Dispatch interviewed almost 2 dozen parents, who paint a very different picture. stltoday.com/news/local/met…

For a story: Looking for folks who LOVE winter: the different energy, prefer being active in the cold, different modes of productivity (more reading/thinking/art?), fewer social obligations, etc. Feel free to share, and TY !

Extremely worth reading, especially if you were extremely into that Bari Weiss lady last week. But more broadly, bc it paints detailed picture of how complex & careful & extensively considered the process of getting care is for many parents of trans kids: stltoday.com/news/local/met…

one of the *only* ways that powerful media institutions have been compelled to improve coverage of minority groups in the past has been through collective action by journalists from groups. There are decades of precedent for journalists critiquing coverage they find harmful

seems like those professional women athletes are again super worried about trans people. oh wait, no, that's just the bigots.

It’s very striking and disheartening that a letter pleading for better coverage is being deliberately interpreted by a handful of prominent journalists as a demand for no coverage.
