“Eth” Hyman Staff Writer I find myself getting so tired of writing about being trans. Like, wildly tired. Fatigued, even. Actually, “trans” may not even be the right terminology anymore.

I remember how comforting it was to find another person of color in the office. … Continue reading To Be Culturally Aware

Sam Phillips Features Editor When Liz Truss announced her resignation as Prime Minister of the United Kingdom on Thursday, much was naturally made of her setting a new record for shortest tenure—45 days, plus a lame duck period before a successor is elected “within the week.” The previous record holder, George Canning, died after 119 days in office in 1827, meaning Truss is entirely likely … Continue reading Liz Truss joins venerable UK tradition by resigning in disgrace
