It's been a while since I traveled and I expected the conference hotel to be willing to watch my luggage for a few hours even though I didn't stay here. I thought this kind of thing was pretty normal once upon a time?

@kitoconnell.comI have been terrible about promoting this, but I am in San Francisco for the NLGJA Conference and I'm on a panel this afternoon with some very smart colleagues, talking about alternative ways to get our stories out there.
@justinmyers.netFor the #NLGJA26 crowd, here’s my usual wording for the lesson @bokchoy-baobei.bsky.social just gave about interrogating the meanings behind the phrases we regularly see and publish:
@justinmyers.netAt #NLGJA26, @lexmcmenamin.com notes federal and state criminal justice systems have been targeting trans people disproportionately in conspiracy cases and then carrying out further social, medical and sexual violence against them in prison—and that this seems to have been news to most in this room.
@justinmyers.netFrom @petrinkae.bsky.social: All the back-and-forth about procedures and patients ignores that only 30% or so of trans people get gender-affirming medical care *at all*—and to cover this population fully and fairly, we need to get at the other hardships *everyone* faces on a regular basis. #NLGJA26
@justinmyers.netJireh’s dropping truth bombs straight out the gate in the first answer of this #NLGJA26 panel, where they tell us including trans people in your coverage helps you add depth and nuance to how you tell stories that affect *all* of your audience.
@josheidelson.bsky.socialExcited to see folks at #NLGJA26 in SF! Get in touch if you want to chat about journalism, or about working at Bloomberg in particular. And come check out our panel today…
