Projects

Trans News Network

Alongside four of my colleagues, I co-founded Trans News Network, a worker-owned nonprofit newsroom focusing on issues relevant to the queer community. With a particular focus on trans issues, we aim to provide our readers with solutions to the most pressing problems facing us today. Among the stories I broke include how our reporting on the Byrd Rule led to the halting of an anti-trans Medicaid care ban, exclusive coverage with protesters arrested for opposing Florida's removal of the Pulse Nightclub memorial crosswalk, an interview piece of over two dozen game developers who lost work because of payment processors' NSFW & queer content bans on Itch.io, and a comprehensive series on protest history around the world.

I currently work here part-time as a staff journalist, and wear many hats while managing a lot of our back-end stuff.

The Free Radical

I currently run The Free Radical, a queer newsletter covering breaking issues relating to the LGBTQ+ community and grassroots political organizers. I've broken numerous stories that later became international headlines, including the illegal imprisonment of a trans woman in Guantanamo Bay, Georgia's internal political scandals, and the potential invoking of the Byrd Rule to stop Trump's Medicaid ban alongside activists' fight for long-term solutions, which I broke alongside my colleague Mady Castigan. 

Erin in the Morning Contributions

From early 2024 to early 2025, I was a regular contributor to the award winning outlet Erin in the Morning, providing the latest coverage on transgender news on an all-trans news team. My coverage with EITM has been republished on sites like Truthout and The Advocate and has been cited by several state attorneys general in a court filing against Donald Trump. My author archive is visible here.

Assigned Media Column

From early 2024 to early 2025, I was a columnist and regular contributor Assigned Media. There, I started off writing a weekly humor column, which transitioned over time into a weekly investigative news column concerning transgender issues. Alongside this column was several important stories that I broke, which changed the landscape of trans political advocacy.. You can find my author archives over on the website here.

LGBTQ Nation & INTOMore Contributions

For both LGBTQ Nation and INTOMore, I worked as a daily contributor. My reporting has been cited in nationally syndicated news outlets, and has been reposted across several other LGBTQ+ news websites. I did a mixture of fact checks, live coverage, and investigative reporting. You can find my author profiles for both here and here.

Trans Data Library

From June 2023 to early 2025, I worked with Evan Urquhart of Assigned Media as a journalist for the Trans Data Library, a project dedicated to providing journalists, lawmakers, and activists an intensive documentation of transphobia in an Encyclopaedia-style format. You can find website, as well as all articles I contributed, here.

2024 & 2025 LGBTQ+ Legislation Tracking

From late 2023 to early 2025, I began work with a team of journalists, legal analysts, researchers, and engineers on a 2024 & 2025 LGBTQ+ legislation tracker. This consists of monitoring and researching new bills across the country that are affecting LGBTQ+ folk across the United States. If you're interested in following along for new developments, more information can be found here and here.

Queer Joy Collective Internship

From September to December of 2023, I took part in an internship with the Queer Joy Collective as a staff writer. I wrote articles interviewing creatives I'm a fan of, and highlighting projects that I found interesting and believe more people should know about. The project has since fallen under, and the site is no longer up. But if you're curious about the site, it's available on the Web Archive, and I've created a Google Drive with PDFs of each of the stories I wrote, visible here.

Indie Side

I formerly hosted a series over on my blog called Indie Side, where I interviewed and gave a platform to various independent game developers, especially those from marginalized groups. It started from an article I wrote for Game Developer here and was updated monthly. I no longer work on it as I lacked the capacity to continue the project. It was a ton of fun, so I may revitalize it in the future if I find a good home for it.

Coding Projects

I've been trying to teach myself coding for some time now, and I've only recently begun to take it a little more seriously. I learn best by doing projects, and I like to share those projects with the world.  In 2023, I started the website School Got Wrong, which aims to tell you facts your high school (probably) misinformed you about. Surprisingly, it went relatively viral, getting a ton of shares and views from Reddit & Lemmy. I open sourced the little code I did on Github, and it got a couple contributors. Thanks to everyone for contributing to and supporting this little project!

This website has since been taken down as it was just a one-off coding project, and I couldn't justify spending more cash on the upkeep. Fortunately, the final rendition of it is archived on the Web Archive here.
