Today, the ICC announced new gender persecution charges for crimes in Afghanistan — including crimes against LGBTQ+ people as gender persecution for the first time in history.

Aizita Magaña, a public health worker who writes, brilliantly, in any pocket of spare time, will be a household name one day. But now she has lost her own house, to LA's fires. She is one of warmest, most generous writers I know. Please help if you can.

At this point if we have to fly @United all together, we just assume it’s gonna suck. Flying to NYC was no exception. But flying out of LaGuardia sure was. Rolando A. was helpful, patient, empathetic, and all-around human. Turned my sour opinion right around. Thank you, Rolando.
