@nytimes.com terminated the contract of romance fiction columnist Olivia Waite because she reposted on Bluesky criticism I and @markjacob.bsky.social had of the paper’s lack of coverage of the new rape allegations against Donald Trump.
Details and a statement from Olivia here:
"I want the safety and bodily autonomy of other people to always be a higher value than emotional detachment and objectivity. The value of being neutral depends entirely on what you’re staying neutral about."

"I want the safety and bodily autonomy of other people to always be a higher value than emotional detachment and objectivity. The value of being neutral depends entirely on what you’re staying neutral about."
