Greg Abbott has it out for trans kids. And this Texas mom is fighting back to protect her kid and others'. Worked with Cam Smith again on this excellent piece for Xtra, ending the year with a newsmaker who should be on more peoples' radar. xtramagazine.com/power/amber-br…

Thank you for this profile piece, Xtra! I really appreciate it bc I'm just a mom fighting for my son. Countless parents just like me are out there & I hope they see themselves represented here. My story is their story too: #ProtectTransKids xtramagazine.com/power/amber-br…

I’ve become a therapist who de-stresses between sessions by exclusively listening to Jimmy Buffett.

I want to talk to anyone who is bisexual and caught up on Ted Lasso plz thank you 🙏

Me, a Swiftie, who is also apartment searching: “life was a Zillow”

Sorry I didn’t call back, my life choices are now at the whim of a tiny cartoon green owl who guilt trips me when I don’t spend 5 minutes learning how to say “the turtles are drinking milk” in Spanish

My friend wrote this amazing and important piece about the writers’ strike with a focus on disabled writers

she/they as in she will never ask you to occasionally use they, but they feel really excellent when you do :)
