This is from my "key distinctions I use to do my work" thread published at the other joint. If you read it, you will see that "journalism" is not interchangeable with "the media," which is not the same thing as "the press."

Are you a realtor in the Greater Tampa Bay region? I’m trying to connect a colleague to people who have sold their homes after last year’s hurricane damage, or are trying to sell their homes. If you’re a realtor and have clients you can reach out to, could you DM or Signal me? @ DaylinaMiller.13

Note to editors and producers: If an executive order demands action that is illegal or outside of the president’s authority, then you should not describe it as ordering something. You should say it seeks to achieve some outcome and then note it is illegal or beyond the power of the president.

I think one of the most difficult parts of being called a groomer for being queer and nonbinary is that I was groomed at church by a man when I was 15 and when I was scared and told an adult I was told I should consider myself lucky “a good New Apostolic boy” was interested in a weirdo like me.

One of the worst things to happen to TV news in my lifetime is the fixation on how politicians should deal with a crisis from a PR perspective rather than the scandal itself. This wasn't common years ago. They just discussed the substance of the news, not how politicians should spin things.

Stop pretending that the authoritarian repression is BECAUSE of the problems in {higher education, the media, the law, government, immigration policy, etc.}. This is what authoritarians do. If they didn't focus on these justifications, they'd come up with other ones.

My sweet boy is 14 now and with soft fur and all his teeth, the vet is always surprised how good he looks. Even if he does cost me a car payment monthly in insulin and prescription food and needles. So worth it. Look how much he loves his birthday toys!

Kayden Rodriguez, a transgender social work therapist, said trans people are scared and that fear leads to isolation — and that's why it's more important than ever for them to build community.

I’m on medical leave but a story I wrote before I left posted today. It’s a really good read on how to find and build communities for trans and nonbinary people - and practical, bulleted points for how to do so from two community organizers I’ve known for several years.

I really appreciate all the follows these past few weeks. I’m on medical leave until at least the beginning of April but I’m excited to get back into the saddle at WUSF. I have all sorts of ideas for better ways to connect with and amplify the stories of folks in marginalized communities.

My USMC veteran father died by suicide. I have no doubt that this will contribute to the deaths of people who already are often difficult to get into therapy in the first place.

Seven years ago I donated a kidney to save my sister’s life. This week mine was saved by people who donate blood and plasma. I’m so, so grateful. Please donate if you can. I plan on donating again as soon as I’m healthy. You never know whose life you may end up saving.
