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.

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. 👩🏻‍💻

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.

🧵 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. mprnews.org/story/2026/04/…
