WaPo's Lily Lines and The Nib both end today

From the last LL newsletter (500 comics!) -

For six years, it's been our pleasure to deliver essential stories about gender and identity to your inbox with Lily Lines. During this time, the Lily team made an award-winning documentary, published nearly 500 comics, read dozens of books together and shared plenty of Your Takes. More recently, one of our former team members, Caroline Kitchener, won a Pulitzer Prize for her reporting on abortion — stories that were always a priority for the Lily and its readers.

As the team takes on new roles at The Post dedicated to this coverage, this is the final issue of the Lily Lines newsletter. You can still find our reporting and perspectives on gender and identity across the site, but especially in our reimagined Style section, which launches soon.

The corresponding Style Memo newsletter will cover the personalities, conversations and cultural trends that shape American life. Lily Lines readers have been signed up to receive it in their inbox starting Sept. 8.

Until next time,
Team Lily 🖤
