From our co-op, thank you for repeatedly mentioning that aspect. I think also this class dynamic does shape the type of trans coverage you see, too, quite a bit. We did some reporting one time on the city of Asheville spending over a million dollars to the Salvation Army. which is basically a queer and transphobic cult.

But that piece was reported very differently from if it had been reported by, say, a trans journalist who'd been very well off their entire lives, you know, because a lot of us people in our co-op have either been close to or been homeless before. And so we were able to bring in the experience of knowing that if you are a trans homeless person, the Salvation Army isn't letting you in.

Or is one of the worst possible shelters you can end up in? And that piece was written and read very differently because we were drawing from that on the ground experience.

The last year, the Asheville Blade marked our 10th anniversary. So I think I think that is worth mentioning, too. Like, I think sometimes things and they truly are precarious. They truly are difficult. In some ways, they're only getting more precarious and more difficult. But at the same time, despite our journalists being arrested, despite being kind of like

targeted and ignored by a lot of liberals and even some leftists in town we're still here we're still doing journalism we just put out a really powerful investigation about you know more yet more malfeasance in the police department so so yet like it can be done it's not impossible and as tight as things are there is also a lot of resilience and we do get a lot of very genuine support i do think that's worth emphasizing too so like there is strength and there is some hope here

I would, yeah, I'd add to that. But another thing is, look, you should support transgender animals because trans people deserve to, you know, to be supported and to be able to make a living. Also, frankly, we're really good at this, like, generally as a whole. Like, we have a lot more perspective, I think, on how this hellscape social structure actually does and doesn't work.

And a lot more determination to actually tell the truth in general. And so, you know, dollars to the Asheville Blade, for example, or to Mira or to Maticast, like, they go to journalism. Yeah, yeah. You know, they're not going to like some Baroque hierarchy of, you know, of gentry administrators or something or CEOs like it goes to journalism.
