✨🌈✨Well, friends, I'm happy to announce that today is my first day as Digital Director of @TheAdvocateMag. I'm honored and excited about the opportunity to help run such an important queer news site. This is really a dream come true. advocate.com

‘Daylight saving time’ is also sometimes called ‘daylight saving,’ ‘daylight savings,’ ‘daylight savings time,’ or ‘daylight time.’ So, listen to your heart.

@LissaJoStewart Absolutely. Though be prepared to really enjoy the first season and then 'eh' by the others as a whole. But Sandra Oh, Jodie Comer, and Fiona Shaw are the reasons I continued to watch. The story goes to crap, but it's still worth watching because of how brilliant they are.

🌈 @TheAdvocateMag launched our first reader-revenue program today to allow readers to invest in The Advocate’s work directly. We’ve brought you #queernews since 1967, and we’re not stopping now. Please consider contributing: advocate.com/1967

It's been 23 years since September 11, 2001. ❤️‍🩹 Shortly after, @TheAdvocateMag ran this cover story honoring the victims. Read the story: advocate.com/cover-stories/…

the aliens after their transgender operations

Let's all repeat: Gender-affirming care is necessary medical care. Wow, CNN.

To understand how the anti-trans agenda is reshaping *all* of our lives, @19thnews set out to examine how the laws and rhetoric behind it are impacting Americans. Today we launch that critical series. 19thnews.org/2024/08/the-to…

Was curious about Rev. Sharpton's views on transgender people. I love it when older Dems have been trans allies for a long time. Loving his speech right now.

Tonight is the night! Want a queer perspective on the DNC, catch the live blog that I'm running with The Advocate team.

The idea that c!s men pretend to be women to abuse women is an obfuscation. C!s men abuse women every day without consequences. The idea that they need to do something to “get away with it” is harmful to abuse victims, and that is often the point

Trans people and their advocates have been saying for years that transphobia will easily be weaponized against cis and intersex women who don't conform to trad femininity, threatening all women in the process. And that's exactly what is happening

Just had an amazing on-stage conversation with @Ashlyn_Harris at our @axios @deepbluesports event at @TeamUSA House in Paris. Talking women’s sports, lgbtq rights and more.

@ryanlong03 can’t message on here but feel free to email me at alex dot copper at equalpride dot com

@ryanlong03 Would love to speak with you for a piece I'm working on for @TheAdvocateMag.

@ryanlong03 @charli_xcx @KamalaHarris Hi, Ryan! I'm Alex Cooper. I edit @TheAdvocateMag's website. Would love to get in touch and talk about the video.

why did I stay up till 3am making a von dutch brat coconut tree edit featuring kamala harris and why can’t I stop watching it on repeat

@amieparnes And there is no. end. in. sight.

I honestly can’t remember a busier, more relentless three week news cycle than the one we are experiencing.

Why are we allowing public officials to be unnamed in stories such as this? What is journalistically useful about publishing an anonymously sourced, non-essential, gossipy story? How does this help our already strained credibility? The journalistic ethics I was taught said we only used anonymous sources for the most critical stories when there was no other means of obtaining this critical information. In these unprecedented times, our field must hold itself to higher standards. We are failing in too many ways.

Got yelled at for saying this last night so here it is again: political violence is not a reason to stop criticizing divisive violent political rhetoric or aspiring authoritarianism. In fact, to push back against these things is to push back against political violence.

Exciting news @19thnews — three of our reporters’ beats are changing to more accurately describe what they cover! @ChabeliC_ is now our economy and child care reporter. @slooterman is our disability and aging reporter. @shefalil is our reproductive health reporter.

One day you’re young and wild; the next, it’s Monday, and you’re dialing into a video call.
