I was laid off from Teen Vogue this week, alongside multiple other phenomenal team members.

At our Summit, I was asked how it felt to be 1 of 2 Black women left and what that meant for representation. Now, there are no Black women at Teen Vogue and that is incredibly painful to think about.

This banned book week, instead of spending $40 on a hardback by a dead guy whose books aren't going to be forgotten, consider buying several from marginalized living authors who at risk of being pushed out of writing by platform censorship. Maybe learn how to read ebooks that aren't on big apps.

I see pieces like this a lot, often w/ a spin of lamenting cultural degeneration, but reading is a LABOR issue, it’s declined because so many people are working overtime or two jobs & employers expect after hours work. France has Earth’s highest reading rate b/c long lunch breaks & labor protections

RFK Jr. backs down all the time when he gets push back, so if anyone wants to call, here's the HHS number 1-877-696-6775.
I'd also call your senators/reps as well.

This isn't going to get the attention of Columbia, but it's at least as bad: the University of Maine is having its funding cut off because the governor of Maine dared to challenge Trump.
I'm appalled by the USDA's decision to pause funding to the University of Maine System.

This will hurt our farmers, halt critical research, and impact students throughout Maine.

Once again, our state is being targeted for retribution—all because our officials are standing up for the rule of law.

Bluesky partnering with an ai company?

The amount of Bluesky users who harassed me for defending visual artists & small biz who need TT or IG *to make a living* and insulted me for past valid critiques of Bluesky, even added me to blocklists with N*zis?

All for Bluesky to now do this? lmfaoooo

The attempt to force Costco to audit their #DEI work was by an anti-inclusion lobby group:

Hi I don’t talk about my job but it seems there’s going to be a big deportation swipe going down tomorrow so this is important! Lush stores are safe havens. They are able to hold anyone seeking safety in their backroom if needed. We have signs telling us what to say/don’t say to ICE
