Cecilia Gentili was a living legend. A titan, an unapologetic example of trans joy and power. Her spirit lives on in all whom she touched and all she built for us. Rest powerfully and peacefully, Mami. And go kiki with the ancestors. You deserve eternal pleasure. ππ½

I'm one of 115 who were let go from LAT today. I'm proud of what @delosLAtimes accomplished and thank the Guild for securing us severance. I guess now's a good time to finish my novel-slash-screenplay!

A year ago today, my life was upended when I was laid off from a steady full-time job. While I've had some incredible opportunities come my way (see my β¨pinned tweetβ¨for more), this is my quarterly thread ask for you to consider me for a full-time role or freelance project(s)!
Angely is an incredible reporter. If you're looking for a climate/science reporter, she's the one you want on your team!
Just got laid off from G/O with 20+ staffers (before xmas). I am going to miss my colleagues and am forever grateful that I got to work alongside so many talented people as the last Earthling at @Gizmodo. If you need a climate/science writer or fact-checker, shoot me a DM <3

6 months ago, I left full-time work to pen the book I had to write, a memoir of my father's life with HIV and how it resonates in my life. I'd worked on the book slowly for years and then frantically for months and now ... it's happening! TOUGH GUY is coming from @ABRAMSbooks!

for @TheBodyDotCom i wrote about 8 films that, though they are not directly about the AIDS crisis, could be interpreted as being about AIDS or are very good catalysts for thinking about viral infection and chronic illness thebody.com/article/eight-hoβ¦

Folks, this is NOT. A. NEWS. SOURCE.
This is an account that earns money from engagement by claiming to quote other news outlets. It doesnβt link to those sites. It doesnβt even screenshot them.
Donβt trust this account. Go to the primary source every time to verify.

Today makes 61 days that @HuffPost is late paying me as a freelancer. Not only do they owe me for the invoice that I filed on July 17 but because theyβre based in NYC Iβm also owed a late fee. It is completely unacceptable and shameful to not pay freelancers on time

Heeyyy itβs meee, once again asking that someone considers hiring me for a full-time role or editorial project within reporting, editing, or social media! The journalism job market has been particularly brutal, so begging for money on main is one of my few options!

Some personal news: My contract role at LinkedIn has ended and I'm on the hunt again for a full-time job. I have 7 years of experience in writing, editing, and audience engagement, so send any leads my way!
I've lived a million lives in this industry, so here's what I can do ππ»
π¨Freelancers: @TheBody is looking for pitches for the 50th anniversary of hip-hop and its role in shaping the narrative around HIV. The due date for pitches is Monday, July 24, and my email is [email protected]. Here is a little thread on what weβre looking for (1/4):
Did any artists or songs help you cope with your diagnosis or any hard times? Is there an artist or a song today that promotes sexual health today that deserve their flowers, and how are they making an impact on the HIV community and/or the LGBTQ community? (3/4)
