#Leopards peacefully coexist with the #Warlis in Mumbai's #AareyForest. But can this delicate balance be sustained as #development encroaches on their #habitat? 🐆🌳 @nikit_surve shares insights with @fairplanet (fairplanet.org/story/india-w…) & @popula (popula.com/2023/03/14/indias…)

Wrote about the tendency for military officials and others to throw around random dates for conflict over Taiwan in my latest for @popula--the more alarmism there is about this, honestly, the less seriously genuine threats Taiwan faces may be taken popula.com/2023/02/18/1992-2…

I regret that the excellent @popula and specifically @tomscocca's worthy calculation of the 15,000 words of front page NYT anti-trans material (popula.com/2023/01/29/the-wo…) did not get cited by name in our Letter. Not least so that readers could be directed to some good journalism.

Smart analysis from @tomscocca that I agree with, except that on abortion front, plenty of antiabortion tropes are still given uncritical airing (see: CPCs, other purported attempts to help thwarted abortion seekers) tho it’s gotten better. These impulses come from the same place
This is excellent. It also gives a bit more context for that nytletter.com open letter. THE WORST THING WE READ THIS WEEK: Why Is the New York Times So Obsessed With Trans Kids? popula.com/2023/01/29/the-wo… via @popula

Tom Scocca's latest in @popula shines a light on anti-trans rhetoric in mainstream media, from The New York Times to Reuters. These publications miss the mark in reporting on trans lives and are directly contributing to harmful laws and rhetoric. originals.optout.news/corpor…

The amazing @mariabustillos reminds us what it’s all about—information, access, and preservation, past, present, and future.
