A lot of things are really bad, but being able to make something with my hands feels extra powerful these days. Creation in the face of destruction. Remembering this keeps me sane.

Two of the most significant politics editors in Teen Vogue’s history were working class trans people from Ohio and Philly, and their tireless, fearless work is a huge part of why so many people are mourning its demise now. @satansjacuzzi.bsky.social and @leximcmenamin.com you will always be famous

And if you're a sex worker? Forget it. People won't see you as a survivor of either overt or covert sexual violence because your occupation makes you "unrapeable." This, of course, isn't true. But many societies see it this way. Whorephobia is vile like that.
(2/2) Rape culture only legitimizes the most blatant and outwardly violent forms of sexual violence. We are taught to sympathize with the "perfect victims" (that is, cis-het, able-bodied, affluent white folks) if we are encouraged to sympathize at all. But it is the covert that sustains the overt

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.

The unpredictability is key.
When the law is stupid enough, badly written and ambiguous enough, you can never be sure when it's going to step on your neck.
Even if today it didn't get you, maybe tomorrow it will.
A stupid enough law acts as stochastic terrorism.

Hi, I'm the ProPublica reporter who's been tracking an unusual stat: U.S. citizens grabbed by immigration agents.
I did it because the government isn’t.
This is what I found.

One way sighted people can determine what to put in alt text: Imagine you sent the post or article to a friend, and the image didn't load. What would someone need to know to get the equivalent experience and context? This will help you identify the important details.

I know something about aircraft pricing, and when you "need" to get updated avionics, safety equipment etc.
This is grotesquely wasteful, unnecessary, and self-aggrandizing.
No Kings. Also, no cosplay Marie Antoinettes.
