The Conversationalist"The growing anti-trans narrative wasn’t just a culture war skirmish, it was a symptom of something deeper and more dangerous: a coordinated effort to undermine democratic norms by turning vulnerable groups into political targets."
I really enjoyed working on this piece about the Whistle Crew for @conversationalist.org! So many good people out there doing the work in these troubled times.
Welcome to the Whistle RebellionAcross the United States, activists and organizers are 3D printing one of the most surprisingly effective weapons against ICE.conversationalist.org
This is a wonderful article about what the Whistle Crew is doing to sustain and create community. It describes them as "whimsical and deeply serious" and somehow the article itself also manages to be both. Great work, @conversationalist.org!

Really appreciate this piece and also @sesmith.lol recognizing & reinforcing that while Courtney and I have been very visible, this was always a team effort. And the Whistle Crew just donated hundreds of items to @romancingthevote.com and raised $1000s for voting rights. Community escalates. 💖

This awesome piece is about probably the most visible whistle crew but if you read this & are now wondering how to get involved: start with your local mutual aid groups!! There are *so many* groups out there working quietly to get whistles out locally in pretty much every community right now. ✨

"The original makerspaces were sites of women’s “craft” & housework, such as sewing circles...enabling women to teach each other skills, perform tasks together & access equipment and other resources too expensive to afford individually—all of which is echoed in how the Whistle Crew operates today."

Some grassroots making & logistics goodness here to start your day! Not in this piece, but in talking with @sesmith.lol I was happy to discover that I'm far from alone in being a 2020 mask sewist who's now taken up 3D printing. #DHmakes

Thank you so, so much to all of the people who talked to me for this piece, including those who spoke off-record or on background. I hope I did all of you justice!

👀 good article
The Conversationalist"In a culture where trans and disabled people are medical problems to be solved, thereby erasing them from society, working in solidarity with each other is extremely important, and is the best way forward in a hostile climate that uses medicalization as a tool of power and control."—@sesmith.lol
