Ending cash bail, the NYT's anti trans coverage, and a free chapbook by me!
Hey, we’ve survived another week! Goose raises her tail to celebrate!
As always, thank you all for supporting me! Subscriptions make it possible for me to write this blog…so if you are enjoying my writing, consider getting a paid subscription, so I can keep writing about politics, movies, poetry, and who knows what else (next week: cuckoo bird politics and Langston Hughes!)
And here’s everything I published last week.
