An advert for a company called Magibook. The headline reads "Turn HARD books into EASY books with Magibook! Maximize your reading potential and avoid difficult language today."

Underneath is two covers of The Great Gatsby by F. Scott Fitzgerald. 

Above the first cover is the original version of the opening sentence (captioned "Turn Hard Books"), which reads "In my younger and more vulnerable years my father gave me some advice that I've been turning over in my mind ever since."

Above the second cover (captioned "into Easy Books") is a simplified version, which reads "When I was young, my dad told me something that I still think about."

That summer was sizzling, and so were the Rosenbergs

As a trans Australian, I was kicked out of a UK toilet. This is not the open-hearted Britain I remember | Jack Nicholls I used to be proud of my birthplace for its cosmopolitan tolerance. Visiting now, it feels like stepping back decades

We're bringing a legal challenge to the EHRC’s β€˜Interim Update’ A number of trans and intersex individuals have today begun a legal challenge to the EHRC’s β€˜Interim Update’ following the For Women, Scotland decision

Along with a man and a woman who are trans, and someone who is intersex, we are suing the EHRC and the Equalities Minister in respect of the disgraceful and unlawful EHRC guidance.

In line with our transparency principles we are publishing the full 32 page legal letter. goodlaw.social/2ihj

SNEAK PEEK: Who Values Palestinian Life? (INTERVIEW) Here's a short excerpt from my interview with Palestinian-American policy analyst Omar Baddar on how Palestinians understand their place in the world amidst a genocide of their people in Gaza.

This is what I want to do more of on my Substack. Here's a sneak peek (full interview next week) of my sitdown w/ Omar Baddar, a Palestinian-American policy analyst.

How do Palestinians understand their place in the world as it watches them slaughtered?

If your governing philosophy is explicitly zero sum, then it's little wonder broad-based wins are seldom pursued for the public. The very notion of crafting helpful policy for most - especially the vulnerable - is inherently at odds with that worldview.
