Here's an idea I'd love someone else to do and then pay me as a contributor: Periphery: A magazine specifically for online leftish/lib/dem/progs who don't actually live in NYC or DC but do follow those worlds.

Yeah, exactly- this is somewhat tongue in cheek, but the idea would be recognizing that these people all follow and are mostly interested in NYC/DC, more so than their local area, but might like to feel like they're being directly spoken to rather than watching from the outside.
Also, funny you mention Scalawag- they once commissioned a piece, I wrote exactly what we discussed, and they came back and said they wanted a completely different first person piece I was unable to provide. Worst taste left in my mouth of anywhere I've worked with.

Oh that sucks, I'm sorry to hear that! I've never written for them (as an NYC dweller, lol)

Yeah- I did get the piece sold (and for more $$) when Slate did a package on passing, but it was insane to pitch "interviews w/ stealth trans men in the South" give them that, go through editing, then a senior editor goes "how about a first person piece?"https://slate.com/human-interest/2018/06/why-trans-men-in-the-south-go-stealth.html …
