Newsom: They did not expect California. They did not expect all of you. They thought we were going to write an op-ed, have a candlelight vigil, maybe do a rally. They poked the bear and the bear is poking back

The amazing political reporting coming out of Teen Vogue has ended. Journalism is in deep crisis. See also: democracy.

I was laid off from Teen Vogue today along with multiple other staffers, and today is my last day.

certainly more to come from me when the dust has settled more, but to my knowledge, after today, there will be no politics staffers at Teen Vogue.

We live in a beautiful, magical place and whine about the Dodgers for sport.

Whatever happens tonight, they’re not playing baseball in SD or SF (or NY!).

Catchers and pitchers report in 100 days.

Awww, thank you! That is very nice of you. I love miniature roses but they're hard to photograph IMHO -- I have no idea why; it's not like they're moving around . . .

I am certainly no seasoned strategist but I am a little skeptical of the political wisdom behind building a giant golden ballroom and sharing a dozen photos of a renovated marble bathroom at the very moment that millions of people are losing access to healthcare and food.
