Men Yell at Me

By lyz

Written from a journalist in a red state, this newsletter is personal, political, sometimes funny and always raises hell.

Lyz is an investigative powerhouse, and a friend whose credibility I trust implicitly.

The Chatner

By Daniel Lavery

A newsletter about rejiggered classics, transmasculine underpinnings of the plucky heroine, and the failure-limits of graciousness, from table manners to family estrangement.

Daniel Lavery was the first person who ever published my writing so he has my loyalty until we both die. Also he’s funny and shares a lot of my William Shatner feelings.
