Text over a photo of a lake reflecting stormy clouds above: (202) 224-3121 Today, please call the US Capitol switchboard and ask for your representative. Then tell your rep that you oppose H.R. 7661, the Federal book banning bill. It’s that simple. This is an all-hands-on-deck timeline. Thank you.

Thank you.

Today is a good day to revisit my #SLJ interview, where I talk about the historical significance of Pride. Today the Pride flag is heading back to Stonewall, per a Fed settlement agmt. Symbols of our hard-won rights matter. 🏳️🌈🏳️⚧️

screencap from instagram: It's been a month since I was let go from my job as an Associate Editor at Out, and I'm seeking freelance or staff writing and interview opportunities in pop culture journalism, cultural criticism, or film reviews. Over my 14-year career, I have written 12 cover stories across 3 magazines, contributed to 5 GLAAD Media Award wins, and was honored to vote in the Sight & Sound Greatest Films of All Time 2022. If anyone knows of freelance or staff opportunites, especially involving movie reviews, I can be reached at meyrude@gmail.com .
My dear friend Mey Rude lost her job at Out in a round of mass layoffs and is looking for work! She is one of the smartest and most incisive people I know, with an encyclopedic knowledge of (especially queer) pop culture and the hottest movie takes around. Please reach out if you have leads!
The next No Kings protest will mark the largest collective exercise of free speech in American history -- an undeniable indicator that Americans of all backgrounds support democracy and the Constitution. (1/3)
Thank you!

A nationwide book ban bill has been introduced in the House of Representatives. Here's what you need to know about HR7661, including who is behind it, the history behind such bills, and what you need to do to stop it.

I’ll add to the unfortunate conversation about the Pride flag being removed from our historical site at Stonewall. You can’t erase us because we are woven into this country’s history, and we’re not going anywhere. 🏳️🌈🏳️⚧️
Love this, Catarina! I’m in awe of artists and I love seeing all the unique character designs. # dtiysmac on IG ❤️📚🎩

I’ve watched people and dogs walk across this frozen lake all day. There’s a metaphor there. Something, something, fragility and belief.

This is a good idea! Rep. Eric Swalwell (D-Calif.) said, “If the governor has the ability to issue driver’s licenses to people in California, if you’re going to wear a mask and not identify yourself, you’re not going to be eligible to drive a vehicle in California.”
