Weekly Roundup (Mar. 10, 2023) (Patreon)

Happy Friday! Let's try doing these at the end of the week when y'all have more time to read them.

I've been busy with midterms, so work has slowed a bit. The Statesman has taken a lot of my time lately too. Soon I'll have a write-up of a Margo Price show available for y'all. Work on my genealogy project is still slow, but it's happening.

I should probably clarify: my genealogy project is a book about my second great-grandmother, Grandma Stazi. My Statesman article about her barely scratched the surface. This is going to be an expansive story about running, empires, and love.

In terms of media to share... hmm. We have my partner Janet Fornieri's kickass new single "im. srry." I've been reading Vonnegut's Breakfast of Champions on Janet's urging too, which has been fun. Reading has mostly been slow though.

But now, as always, the headlines:

This profile from Xtra Magazine of a downtown Toronto home for queer elders is sweet and lovely.

The Tennessee drag law is absolutely going to culminate in anti-trans laws.

Hell Gate NYC has good coverage of affordable housing in the City.

Oh yeah, Ron DeSantis was at Guantanamo. 

Teen Vogue breaks down the Oscars' union-busting history.

The Daily Beastbreaks down the Oscar-nominated animated shorts of the year.
