Small town life and national politics
Lissa Harris -- one of the founders of the late, great Watershed Post -- writes in her Empire of Dirt newsletter about the recent reported Trump admin actions regarding transgender people and her day-to-day life as a gender nonconforming person: "My experience of small-town upstate New York is that--once one has escaped the terrible crucible of school--it is a place where bland glossy-magazine heteronormative attractiveness is not required to earn public respect. A place where one is generally allowed to be a harmless weirdo. A place where people tend to stay the hell off your lawn. I pray it stays that way." [NYT] [Empire of Dirt]
