You know, and, like, I've been watching, like, pretty immediately around me. Like, I've been watching the number of, like, trans femmes, especially, like, non-white trans femmes, just, like, disappearing from media. And it was, you know, it was like watching the stars disappear from the sky.

And the thing about the stars disappearing from the sky is, you know, there's, you don't notice it unless you're looking at them, in which case the light is fucking gone forever. Right. And it was this really, really bleak thing.

But also, you know, as it's happening and as we've been sort of like resisting this, I've been getting to watch like the stars go back on in the sky and like watching new, like people emerge and watching people who've been doing cool work for a really long time sort of like... come out into the open and, like, get more sort of national recognition. And, yeah, I don't know.

I guess that's the sort of place I wanted to start is just talking a little bit about, like, what it's like to be fucking doing journalism right now because, Jesus Christ.

Yeah, there's something that happens fucking constantly. I'm like, my, like, welcome to the... This is before I was out, too. And it's also like, you know, part of what's going on here is like, one of the things you learn really quickly in media is the extent to which so much national media is just like...

what they do is steal stories from, like, people, like, who are, you know, from sort of, like, more regional media or people they think they can get away with taking stuff from. Like, if... And this goes all the way up the chain, right? Like, if you want to know what's going to be on Rachel Maddow's show, look at what's happening on Behind the Bastards whenever they cover someone on the right.
