Social media is a bit of a dumpster fire these days. Tech billionaires, opaque algorithms and AI have a massive influence on what you see, how you see it and how you share it. It’s a lot of noise, and that noise is all designed to grab your attention and often boxes you out of what you actually want to read or watch.
But what if you could cut through all of the noise?
We’re launching Xtra Special, a new newsletter feed, to help bring our award-winning queer and trans journalism straight to you.
When you subscribe to Xtra Special, you’ll get one Xtra story delivered straight to your inbox once a week. No bells and whistles. No extra fluff. Think of it like drinking straight from a crisp mountain spring, but instead of water it’s fascinating stories, hard-hitting journalism and enlightening insights.
We’re going to cut out the middleman and bring our best queer and trans stories directly to you every Thursday.
This summer, Xtra Special will kick off as a space to spotlight our upcoming Taking Space series, focused on LGBTQ2S+ gathering spaces, how we use them and why they matter. After that, it will transform into a feed for our best profiles, investigations, thought-provoking think pieces and so much more.
And don’t worry, Xtra Weekly isn’t going anywhere. Our every-Friday digest of all the queer and trans news you need to know will continue to roll out, for those of you who also want a curated collection of news, culture, analysis and video.
But if you’re tired of your feeds being overly cluttered and keeping you from what you want, and you just want one good story to dive into every week, Xtra Special is here to help.
Subscribe today for free and don’t miss the first edition next week.
