It's been 20 years since I read Toni Morrison's "Jazz" for the first time. The first paragraph still makes me tear up, it's just so f-ing good. "Sth, I know that woman. She used to live with a flock of birds on Lenox Avenue." The audiobook of Morrison reading is a newfound joy.

I don't even know what to say to this. Then Again Maybe I Won't. #standwithmargaret

“Gender-affirming care is lifesaving health care...To all those families across the US that are afraid and wondering where they can go for help, Minnesota is saying, 'We see you, we love you and you belong here.'” -Rep. Leigh Finke, chief author of the MN trans refuge House bill

Episode two of CITY LIMITS, a series from Today, Explained on the future of cities post-pandemic. This show explores a buzzy idea in the transit space: going fare-free. Thrilled to share it with you all:

Isn’t it ironic that groups with the words Freedom, Liberty and Family in their names spend their money trying to take away the freedoms and liberties of LGBTQ kids and their families and docs for helping them survive? 🏳️‍⚧️🏳️‍⚧️🏳️‍⚧️#TransVisibilityDay apple.news/AP76uO8xsSeS-m…

An online seminar meant for newsroom teams of three to six people. Lasts for 24 weeks. The action: "Transforming Crime Reporting Into Public Safety Journalism." Pretty important shift, isn't it? From Poynter Institute. poynter.org/shop/ethics/tr…

Beautiful remembrance in writing and audio of audio producer Blakeney Schick by Nayeema Raza and Kara Swisher. Thank you 💔 nymag.com/intelligencer/…

This was a fantastic conversation that covered everything from tech billionaires trying to escape their meatsacks to democratic socialism and how we build the political inside game to win Medicare for All in the US. Thank you Kara Swisher!
