Mi columna de despedida

Nunca quise ser escritor. Yo era diseñador de información. Convertirme en columnista, como tantas otras cosas en mi carrera, fue hasta cierto punto producto de la casualidad.

Ahora que termino con esta columna, me gustaría compartir la extraña forma en que comenzó. Tras muchos años en la redacción del Times como editor gráfico y más tarde director gráfico, seguidos de un breve periodo en la National Geographic, volví al Times: me había reunido con el editor ejecutivo para comer. Él me convenció de volver al periódico.

Le dije que me gustaría elaborar gráficos para Opinión. Cuando me reuní con Andy Rosenthal, en ese entonces editor de la página editorial y jefe de Opinión, me sugirió que escribiera introducciones de 400 palabras para los gráficos, a pesar de que yo no era escritor. Rechazó el título que propuse, Op-Chartist —grafiquista de Opinión— por considerarlo demasiado complicado, y me dijo que simplemente se me diría columnista.

Mi corazón comenzó a acelerarse. Al salir del edificio, me apoyé contra la pared para no caer. Estaba hiperventilando.

No solo me habían dado un título muy superior a mis aspiraciones; en ese momento también había pasado de ser un ciudadano particular, cosa que me gustaba y que pensaba que seguiría siendo el resto de mi vida, a ser un personaje público.

behind!Although we all love to show our ass, we aren’t always the best at taking care of it.But this University of Minnesota-based group — affectionately and effectively called SAVETHEBOTTOMS!!! — has made it their mission to “end the stigma around getting tested for anal cancer.”Subscribe to our newsletter for a refreshing cocktail (or mocktail) of LGBTQ+ entertainment and pop culture, served up with a side of eye-candy.WHY is SAVETHEBOTTOMS!!! work valuable? Listen to the impact we made during our pilot year, 2023, and the even bigger impact we plan to make this year! ? pic.twitter.com/PBpFpF5Z8iAccordingly, there has never been a more critical time for their mission.Per their website, “more than 10,000 people” were expected to be diagnosed with anal cancer in 2024, many of whom probably didn’t even know they were in high risk populations.Amongst those at a greater risk for anal cancer are men and transgender woman who have sex with men, women with HIV, men who have sex with women and have HIV, and women with “prior cervical, vaginal, or vulvar HPV-related disease.”Furthermore, their advocacy work includes promoting the HPV vaccine as “the only means of primary prevention,” as HPV was “estimated to cause” nearly 20,000 cases of oropharyngeal (mouth and throat) and 10,000 cases of anal cancer last year.SAVETHEBOTTOMS!!! would like to respectfully remind the future Secretary of Health & Human Services that in 2024 HPV is estimated to cause the following new cancer cases in the US: pic.twitter.com/F08n3SkTdNThat said, the new presidential administration isn’t making their job any easier.
