Pro tip: Don’t put me down as a reference if I once heard you say in a social media meeting “TERF clicks are still clicks.”

Dang man. Conde Nast selling Them to Equalpride, a week after they laid off all those people at The Advocate, Out, and Pride dot com is a heavy nail in the coffin of queer and trans media.

You gotta get yourself some cross-stitch goodies from Megan. I ordered this Melissa Hat one for my wife and it’s her favorite thing I’ve ever gifted her in 15 years. She placed it on the wall directly over her shoulder so it can be seen on all Zooms.
