No it's absolutely not. Bouie has his own brand and would do quite well with his own newsletter.
Also I don't want him to quit. I want him to start denigrating the other columnists there and have them fire him.

asking Jamelle to quit the Times is basically asking him to remain unemployed for the foreseeable future so white people (and yes, this includes white queer people) feel like they did something to fight prejudice while not actually attacking the systemic and institutional oppression of trans people.

This is absolutely correct.
White people demand a performative purity from Black people about where and whom they work with .
But then will celebrate a white person whose done DIRECT harm but treat their harm as a credential

Jamelle leaving the New York Times doesn't fix the institutional and systemic transphobia that comes from ownership and elite white columnists, most of whom are not harassed about leaving their jobs.
the fact that Jamelle is Black makes white people think they have ownership of how he moves.

I'm just wondering where your line is. If he was working for Palantir, or ICE, or as a prison guard, would you be doing this? Or Fox News? He's just a black man who needs gainful employment. 🥺
It seems like you view the trans community's equivalent of Der Stürmer as "not a big deal".

hey jay why do you assume @xoxogossipgita.bsky.social is operating in bad faith?
It is dishonest to present your work as something that people are doing simply out of the kindness of their heart, because they know you and don't care about the website.
I don't think that is true, and I think the business side of Aftermath knows it but doesn't want to say it to 82k followers

IMPORTANT: starting next week, if you sign up for my patreon or any other DO NOT DO IT THROUGH THE IOS APP. sign up through a web browser, whether on your phone or desktop. Apple is pulling some real bullshit here.
If you pledge to my patreon through the ios app you will pay an additional 30% fee (Apple's fee, they keep all that!) AND your pledge is held by Apple for 75 days. So if you pledge to me in March maybe I will get that money for rent in June.

Buy merch for your fave women. They track these things very closely. If featuring more women means they sell more merch, they will feature more women. Money talks.

the anti-Somali lies pushed here in America don't exist in a vacuum.
this happens a lot in the West: demonize a group locally because they're being murdered abroad.

"The ongoing conflict is a legally ambiguous, shadowy war coordinated by the United States in east Africa, in which there is little accountability for harm to Somali civilians."
More evil done by the US military, but it barely gets any attention because they're doing it to Africans.
