Along with so many talented writers, I was unfortunately among the writers laid off at Sports Illustrated today. Over 4 years later and I’m so proud of the stories and work I’ve done there.

My DMs and email ([email protected]) are open. Looking forward to the next thing.

@jakegyllengal she is ICONIC! 😭

Nearly 40 years later, the current council could reverse this ban. As treatment for HIV has changed, advocates want the code to as well. & they say Minneapolis is actually an outlier as many cities reversed their bans already or never closed bathhouses to begin with. 👩🏻‍💻

[sam stroozas @samstroozas]

🧵 Everyone’s talking about the bathhouse ban in Minneapolis right now — but why did they actually close? Sources say bc increased police surveillance, a fear of AIDS and gentrification. In this deep dive for mpr news I talk to all the key players. https://t.co/laLgtkwizR

The health commissioner did a study in 1977 proving that closing the bathhouses would do nothing. They were a place people learned about safe sex and the sex would continue, just in less safe environments. In 1988 the council passed an ordinance to ban them 11-0.
