Mike—I’m on deadline, haven’t been on socials, but sure, feel free to transcribe and share. My remarks were off the cuff, but I’ll stand by what I said, how I said it.

Sadly, no. As you note, events are fast and publishing is slow, academic publishing even more so. The pace and extent of change is breathtaking right now. Publishing is waaay behind. All the best analysis I see is in online journalism and commentary.

I knew Camille, remember when she wrote that piece and have always loved it and tried to emulate her freedom.

The new @lastweektonight.com piece on juvenile incarceration featured several @ProPublica stories.

First up was our 2021 investigation with @wpln.bsky.social about young Black kids in Tennessee jailed for a crime that doesn't exist:

I always vacillate: quote the bile or just allude to it, but since Trans History is for a general audience, I decided it was important for cis folks to see what gets pointed at us. Of course, they see it all the time now.

Sadly, being SF based, recently returned from 2 weeks in nyc, and no plans to be back before summer, not very likely—but break a leg!
