i’m far more concerned with what isn’t written about than what’s written about through a slant i disagree with!!!!

We have never in human history had access to a shared reality. Ask Galileo. Or anyone from a marginalized group. It's like nostalgia for white picket fence Americana: it hides a lot of harm. What we should fear isn't disagreement, but regression and subjugation.

Who’s heard instead, you ask?

Graph that shows that trans people and their representatives were quoted infrequently: 70% of articles did not feature even a single trans person.

A new study shows what we know: Journalism is failing on trans rights coverage.

70% of stories about Trump’s executive orders affecting trans people didn’t quote trans people.

They’re talking ABOUT trans people not with them.

Today my team and I at @translash.org launched Season 4 of our investigative series #AntiTransHateMachine. For over a year looked at how Christian Nationalist and authoritarian forces are working together to destroy public education from the inside out using anti-trans hate.

We should admire and honour this kind of journalistic courage. Especially compared to some of the biggest news brands who are folding under the pressure even though they have so much more money and power.

Please read it. The story features amazing journalists who are trans and fearless, including @evanurquhart.bsky.social and @katelynburns.com, and @erininthemorning.com.

All independent. Imagine how trans people would get trustworthy information without them. They simply couldn't.

She’s pointing to a cruel irony: the content that could help trans people is often the most vulnerable to disappearing, while the content that could hurt us gets preserved forever by those who wish us harm. Support forums vanish when companies fold. Transition timelines disappear when YouTube changes its policies. But screenshots of old tweets? Those live forever in the folders of people who want us gone.

β€œI’ve written for too many publications that just suddenly folded and disappeared their catalogs to think that it’s all permanent,” said Katelyn Burns, a trans journalist who’s been writing publicly for a decade.

Olivia Reingold quote tweeting Variety.

The Variety tweet is about John Oliver's piece on Bari Weiss leading CBS News, saying:

John Oliver slams Bari Weiss' takeover of CBS News: 

"I wouldn’t want anyone who led a pure opinion outlet, not even one that I happened to agree with, to suddenly be running CBS News. But it is especially alarming to have someone doing it who has spent years putting out work that, in my opinion, is at best irresponsible and at worst deeply misleading."

Reingold then quotes it saying:

Why does this sound like John Oliver commenting on……John Oliver

Was waiting to see how Olivia Reingold (who Oliver's piece destroyed almost as much as Bari Weiss) would respond, and you can see the tweet below which also shows she either did not watch his piece, or just didn't understand it, since he actually addresses this point directly.

For those who don’t intimately understand how news works and why Bari Weiss’s unearned elevation to head of CBS News matters, I’d recommend watching this in entirety. Also, will forever point out irony of how an admitted DEI hire thinks her hire was meritorious while Black people’s aren’t.
