GLAAD on new NYT anti-care podcast: "Instead of addressing the critiques, meeting with the community harmed & fixing its errors...the NYT is deploying its most distrusted and discredited reporters in a new project designed to profit off its inaccurate and biased coverage." @rikiwilchins.bsky.social

A breath of fresh air in all the miasma: “in the end, this is not truly about science but about humanity, and the values we as science journalists need in our work. I reject the values you espouse when in particular you say that medical science aligns with the fascists who want trans eradication.

Best piece I’ve seen on why AI must be kept out of the humanities classroom: Not only because writing =thinking but also bc language is how we become human. It’s how we become the specific individuals that we are. We can’t be fully human without creating language ourselves
