Dear subscriber,

We're sharing this edition of the Selves newsletter ([link removed]) by PublicSource with all of our Roundup subscribers to show you some of what you'd get by subscribing to Selves ([link removed]) , too.

In addition to the critically needed reporting on gender and identity issues ([link removed]) you often see in the Roundup, when you sign up for Selves, you'll get first-person perspectives on abortion, women's rights and threats to the LGBTQ community — all localized to the Pittsburgh region.

The gender and identity umbrella is large; we also explore issues facing people of color, people with disabilities and people of all ages. We don't shy away from socioeconomics, religion and politics that intersect with other aspects of identity.

As a Selves subscriber, you'll get exclusive content, like the comic below, and commentary from the PublicSource team.

What will the future hold?

When I read the woman’s story in today’s comic, I think about what history we’re making right now and all the individual and collective effects the decisions of today are causing.

My speculation isn’t isolated to the abortion landscape, though it’s certainly top of mind of late.

I think broadly about how our systems treat people of color, people with disabilities and the LGBTQ community.

I think about how society is responding to climate change and what that will mean for our children’s futures — if they will decide to have relationships and families or even the chance to live out what they want to be when they grow up.

I think about how many women there may be in the years to come, not only experiencing dangerous medical procedures but also harboring a secret that can be so fundamental to a person’s life and worldview.

These issues and situations are unwieldy, often easier to push out of our minds until it affects us personally. It seems to me that it will take each one of us finding some time to expose ourselves to these difficult realities to mitigate history’s uncanny way of repeating itself.
