No more Black or trans staffers. No politics of any kind. The cowardice of mainstream media isn't just insulting, it's *boring.* Now TV is just like any other beauty rag. Why not just kill it quickly? Why the slow-motion pretense?

thank you for all the support; the statement from our union is now live here with some more reporting.

now that this is public I can confirm that the majority of today’s layoffs were women of color. there are no longer any Black women working at Teen Vogue.

If you are so honored, why did you fire the staffers and writers that made it possible in service of right wing dorks that want women to be vapid servants?

Many of you dont know this but I am the learn to play chair of women of wizards and have been brewing with my colleagues ways we can reach out to the community.

This is our first event of this kind and our goal is to facilitate a comfortable space for new and casual players of marginalized genders

InfiniTokens are NOT on Amazon, so let folks interested (or people you ask for gifts) know that searching for "InfiniTokens" there will only get a lot of cheap imitators that are not the real, high quality ones. They mimic our product designs to fool people into thinking they are the original.

Yeah I get it. Ive done it a million times myself. But at this point the vindication we get is just not greater than the benefit they get by us pushing their engagement up.

Assume that there is more than just idiocy or ignorance behind a post or ad or album. And that motivation is almost always your attention. Ask yourself how do you help by giving something your attention, whether its something you like and ESPECIALLY if its something you dont.

Learn to wield your silence. Because engaging with that strategy just buries the thing we actually love and care about.

people need to recognize we are in the peak of rage bait meta when it comes to attention. Its moved past just ppl on the internet its a strategy thats now being used in larger advertising. That album thats SOOOO bad you gotta talk about it. Rage bait. And it works as long as you keep falling for it
