Beyond targeted layoffs and firings, oftentimes the strategy when pushing newsrooms rightward is to 1) create conditions where real reporting is impossible and 2) wait for the good journalists leave on their own

the dumbest part of the “d&d is too woke” conversation is that if you don’t like the new content you can just? ignore it?
the original 5e books still exist online and irl, there’s still a ton of fan content being made for 3.5e, not to mention all of the alt systems available to play *for free*

On this Trans Day of Remembrance we're thinking of Faltas by Celilia Gentili. Faltas is a radical act of self-making and self-redemption. The book felt like the beginning of something special, but was not to be.
Faltas: Letters to Everyone in My Town Who Isn't My Rapist
In these hilarious and heartbreaking letters, Cecilia Gentili reinvents the trans memoir, putting the confession squarely between the writer and her enemies, paramours and friends. Writing to childhood figures such as her rapist's daughter, her father's mistress, her best friend, and her mother, Gentili probes deeply into the bitter cruelty, buried secrets, and delicious gossip of a small town. Is she here for revenge, or forgiveness? Both And more A story of sex, theft, murder, motherhood, and outrageous fashion choices, Faltas is a beautiful, messy meditation on what it takes to heal, or even grow.

On this Trans Day of Remembrance, we remember the bright and courageous trans people whose lives were stolen by hatred. Their absence is felt across our city.
We will honor them by building a New York where every trans person can live safely, fully and freely.

conde nast fired the vp of new york newsguild for asking HR questions
More important to me than my identity, I am also the Vice President of the NewsGuild of New York, and targeting me with a blatantly retaliatory termination like this feels like an egregious shot against our union and against media workers as a whole.

Add Conde Nast to the media companies that are bending the knee in this midst of our slide into authoritarianism. Shameful.
I'm one of the four fired employees. I was a writer & producer at Bon Appétit for nearly five years, during which I helped organize our union and sat on our bargaining committee.
I am, to my knowledge, the only trans woman in our union and the only trans woman on editorial who doesn't work at Them

New: Conde Nast fired four employees who were among a group that confronted the company's head of human resources on Wednesday over the decision to fold Teen Vogue into Vogue/recent cuts. Employees who were fired included journalists from the New Yorker, Wired, and Bon Appétit.
