At the very least, more libraries and librarians should be signing on as subscribers and readers to the #NYTLetter https://nytletter.com/
One thing that I've been waiting to see in the discussion of the #NYTLetter is discussion from #Librarians about the role #Library subs play in funding the #NYTimes coverage of #Trans people. This seems especially pertinent as #Libraries have been the front lines for over a year as #astroturfed orgs have attacked out collections, patrons, and events. Our libraries are directly tied to this on both ends and we need more conversations about this :transgender_flag: 📚📰📣

Lolsob the day after the #nytletter, the Op-Ed section publishes a giant defense of she-who-shall-not-be-named, asserting that she isn’t propagating transphobia. Maybe you should ask trans people what we think of all this?
FYI, my fellow peeps: sign this letter as a reader, no need to be a subscriber or contributor. https://nytletter.com/
I signed the #NYTLetter calling out their dangerous anti-trans bias and you should too. https://nytletter.com/

Ugh I'm already seeing the usual pundits trying to debunk the #NYTLetter with a lot of specious junk. (How the hell do you use "patient zero" in a neutral fashion, when the term clearly evokes pandemics and diseased people?)
It's horrifying to realize how committed to transphobia a lot of the punditocracy really are, to the extent that any reasonable criticism of their constant drumbeat is cast as groupthink and "shutting down debate."
