After 10+ yrs covering #HIV and 25+ yrs as a journalist, I'm taking a step back from the grind to do something I think is just as important. I will miss HIV coverage. And I have Things To Say about the way legacy journalism supports white supremacy/misogyny. Especially the way science/health journalism falls into the two-sides myth and the way the threat of "bias" is used to uphold white supremacy/misogyny/trans/queerphobia and all the other -isms.
