Last week I had dental surgery, and while I am extremely happy with the results, it took much more of both my time and my energy than I expected, so I was unable to publish a new piece. As a thank you to my subscribers, I have made Chapters Two and Three of The Fall Line — a ski novella about ambition, intimacy, and the kind of love you try not to name — free to read. If you missed Chapter One, you can find it here. I am grateful for each and every one of you.

MSNBC aired 4 of these mentions while CNN included just 1. ABC, CBS, and NBC each failed to air any coverage, according to our review. Fox News also failed to include any coverage of the topic — a departure from 2023, when segments on the network often included mocking or dismissive commentary about victims of anti-trans violence.

Medical transition is one of the quiet miracles of our time. We rarely call it that. We argue about it in legislatures and courtrooms. We try to prove it’s real, prove it’s safe, prove it’s worth the fight. But what if we simply said: this is a marvel? One of the great accomplishments of modern science. Like the internet or antibiotics, it reshapes what it means to be alive. Hormones rewire the body’s priorities. Puberty blockers press pause on suffering.

Democrats just flipped the Omaha mayor's office with ads like this. The right-wing obsession with genitals is starting to backfire. https://t.co/EpjYPs51Nf
RT @oncloud_e: despite all the political unrest it is still the best time to transition in human history btw
When my dad's kidneys failed in his twenties as a college student whose dad worked in a lumberyard, Medicaid saved his life. He was able-bodied until he wasn't. That's why we have healthcare.
Mike Johnson: "Medicaid is intended, remember, as a safety net for young pregnant mothers and the elderly and disabled and vulnerable populations, not for young able-bodied men without dependents. Those are the kinds of people we're taking off the program." https://t.co/SqYLfMGqxU
