For our sixth (and last!) selection of 2026 we are taking a deep dive into Sabrina Imblerās (@simbler) How Far the Light Reaches: A Life in Ten Sea Creatures. This incisive collection of essays braids queer memoir with scientific writing about animals in the deep sea, and won the LA Times Book Prize in Science and Technology.
You can purchase the book @smallkinegift and @dashophnl, and register at the link in bio š

turned 32 at midnight looking at a full moon reflected in a creek that is also superfund site. everything was so beautiful and smelled like shit. cried so much yesterday and today bc Iām a cancer and thatās how we do self-care. the last year has been one of the most challenging and transformative of my life, and also full of so much joy and love and kinship. grateful to be here, love you all, happy strawberry moon!

I wrote about Mona Khalil, who toiled for more than 20 years protecting hatchling sea turtles on a tiny stretch of beach in south Lebanon, work she continued despite ongoing threats of airstrikes and military occupation. Iām in awe of Khalil and the care she showed to life, human and non-human, under wrenching conditions, and Iām devastated by her killing. An honor to learn about her work, read her papers and interviews, see photos of her with the turtles she adored. Link in bio.

āThe NYTimes sees medical transition as irrational and disgusting, like something you do out of last resort rather than a medical option that should be available to anyone for any reason.ā - @simbler
In late April, we co-hosted a first of its kind, hybrid cross-movement event addressing the harm the NYT has caused to our movements and communitiesāincluding to trans folks, Palestinians, Black folks, and working people. @morgankindof moderated a conversation at @judsonchurchnyc between @mohammedelkurd, @simbler, and @chasestrangio about how NYT coverage and op-eds directly inform dangerous legislation domestically and manufacture consent for U.S.-led war and genocide globally, with a final address from @qween_jean. The evening not only echoed the wide demand for journalism far superior and with greater moral integrity than what we have in the New York Times, but affirmed our commitment to build across movements and fight towards a future where all life is precious, and all people are deserving of dignity, respect, and self-determination.ā£
ā£
āThe People vs. the NYTimesā is part of a series of national conversations organized by the team behind the documentary @heightenedscrutiny, co-organized by @adalahjusticeproject, @blacktransliberation, @jvpny, @queerart, and @wawog_now.ā£

melon update: after a wretched and miserable march and april consisting of five emergency vet visits, ten injections of black market antivirals, one FIP diagnosis, three subsequent injection sores, one of which is still healing, necessitating more than a month spent in the dreaded Suiticalā¢ļø, nearly a half pound of abdominal fluid gained and then lost, nearly half her fur shaved off, a month in which I ping-ponged between every stage of grief, melon is finally seeming back to her old goblin ways. she has even been helping me with edits. we have 45 days left of her 85-day treatment plan and I am so grateful to DIY cat healthcare lmao. thank god for melon, my beloved and resilient girl, the center of my world, the anchor of my heart. grateful to elaine and t and everyone who helped me and melon survive melon month. long live melon!
tldr: the month melon and I both started shots šš

UPDATE: WE ARE AT CAPACITY FOR TONIGHT! IF YOU RSVPāD, COME EARLY TO ENSURE ENTRY! EVERYONE ELSE - LIVESTREAM AT youtube.com/@JudsonMemorialChurch
Join us for a first of its kind, hybrid cross-movement event addressing the harm the NYT has caused to our movements and communitiesāincluding to trans folks, Palestinians, Black folks, and working people. Hear from a panel of movement and media leaders about how NYT coverage and op-eds directly inform dangerous legislation domestically and manufacture consent for U.S.-led war and genocide globally.
Passages from the New York War Crimes will be read and clips from the documentary Heightened Scrutiny will be played. Qween Jean will lead a final address.
This evening aims to offer an alternative to this corporate and state-powered attempt to silo our communities and struggles.
Our movements demand journalism far superior and with more moral integrity than what we have in the New York Times. By refusing to accept narratives that deem anyone as dispensable, we affirm our commitment to a future where all life is precious, and all people are deserving of self-determination, dignity, and respect.
Part of a series of national conversations organized by the team behind the documentary Heightened Scrutiny. Co-organized by Adalah Justice Project, Black Trans Liberation, Jewish Voice for Peace-NYC, Queer|Art, and Writers Against the War On Gaza.
Panelists:
Mohammed El-Kurd
Chase Strangio
Sabrina Imbler
Moderated by Morgan Bassichis
Closing words by Qween Jean

for anyone following the sad saga of Punch, the baby macaque who was abandoned by his mother, I wrote about him for Defector, and also about Frans de Waal, Harry Harlow, animal testing, and who, if anyone, is to blame for the suffering of primates. link in bio or go to Defector dot com for this and other blogs š
