He saved this message for his third speech of the night. So he knew he was coming back IKTR lol

“It’s not too late for the living.”

Now THAT’S how you open the Oscars!

Big part of the reason we avoid the phrase “trans issues” at tja as much as possible. There’s not always a clear shorthand, but even just flipping it to “issues affecting trans communities” communicates something… REALLY DIFFERENT than “trans issues.”

“Our transgender siblings, and particularly the BIPOC trans community, are facing threats from every direction,” one activist says. capitalbnews.org/sam-nordquis...

Hey y'all, I'm Orion, an award-winning journalist at The 19th. I cover LGBTQ+ news, which includes everything from health care access to the Supreme Court. As a trans reporter covering the Trump administration's impacts on our community, I want to hear your stories! Text me on Signal @orionr.80

Haven’t seen it yet, but love that my book WE SEE EACH OTHER: A BLACK, TRANS JOURNEY THROUGH TV & FILM is cited in the convo around Laverne Cox’s new show “Clean Slate.” No time like the present to support a Black, trans author. 👀✊🏾

A Black family now owns the site of America’s largest slave revolt. Twin sisters, whose ancestors were enslaved in the area, purchased the plantation to ensure the history will never be buried again. capitalbnews.org/largest-slav...

“They want everyone to get up in arms and be destabilized and be confused so that we begin to do their work for them. So that we begin to roll back various opportunities and possibilities ourselves in advance. And I think it’s important that we resist that urge.” - @trevellanderson.bsky.social

My sister @trevellanderson.bsky.social said go pre-order my book. You heard the doll!

Those Karla Sofía Gascón tweets

“Which side are you on, my people? Which side are you on?”

Spent the week with nearly 3,000 trans and queer organizers and advocates who remain committed to our safety and security. We got us, in spite of it all. ✊🏾🏳️‍⚧️ www.advocate.com/national-lgb...

if you're an artist / art worker living in los angeles that has been impacted by the recent fires, applications for the LA arts community fire relief fund just went live. up to 10k in unrestricted funds (w/ proof of full time residency required); apps open until 2/18: www.cciarts.org/relief.html

I know media literacy and critical thinking is at an all time low but these stunt queens are pulling stunts and shows and I need everybody to wake tf up.

someone always wants to hop up and say what area is too 'saturated.' whatever. make your stuff. create your things.

Journalism folks: There are several open jobs at ProPublica (including Florida reporter) plus there's also a freelance pitch form here: boards.greenhouse.io/propublica?g... #jobsky #jobs #hiring #media

Israeli forces have killed at least 82 people in Gaza, medical sources told Al Jazeera, including at least 30 people in Gaza City in the hours since Hamas and Israel announced they had reached a ceasefire agreement. 🔗: aje.io/gmd5u4

I could literally listen to Keke Palmer talk all damn day. The CACKLE I just let out. "Defying Gravity"...a slave hymn? 😂

every year the legacies announce new hires and every year you see how newsroom demographics stay basically the fucking same even though there are increasing piles of wildly talented and qualified journos who are not white, funny how that works

Well, yes!

1. Did you know that Girl Scouts has, for a long time, accepted trans girls and nonbinary scouts? Trans kids are under attack. Every year, I make a thread of trans and nonbinary girl scouts you can get your cookies from. Lets get our cookies from them this year in solidarity!

I live two blocks outside of the Hollywood evacuation order but I left anyway because this ain’t no play play. Having to decide what to grab and what to leave — just in case — was something. I’m safe now but this is all quite wild to experience.

Planet Fitness locations in Los Angeles are “offering anyone impacted by the fires—first responders and residents—free access to shower, recharge, and relax” No membership is required to take advantage of locker rooms, WiFi, charging stations at any LA County location not impacted by the fires.

This is the scene from a roof in Hollywood, so the smoke you’re seeing is from the Eaton fire, I assume. Not as “living in the last days” as others, but this will likely look worse in a few hours. If you go outside, wear a mask! 🙏🏿

Here’s a short brief of what trans people should know about how a new Congress, and the first days of Trump’s presidency, could shape their lives.

Yeah!

Kathy Bates been right with me (as an actress) since The Family That Prays! 🤭

“I WAS ROOTING FOR YOU! WE WERE ALL ROOTING FOR YOU!”

After winning the Globe tonight, Kieran Culkin will prolly win the Oscar. And while his performance in A Simple Pain is GREAT… is it the best supporting male performance of the year? Meh.

Emilia Perez is… a film. But Zoe did her thing.

*looks at camera*

"Israel’s push to normalise the mass killing of journalists threatens not just Palestinian media workers. If such behaviour in war zones is normalised, then no journalist, no matter what passport they carry, would be safe." — #AJOpinion by Daoud Kuttab ⤵️
