those of us laid off from Teen Vogue were really fortunate to complete our fundraising goal — the laid-off staffers at VIBE deserve the same support, as Black media outlets and journalists continue to be targeted and discriminated against in “austerity” measures
It was announced on October 16, 2025 that VIBE was "joining forces" with Rolling Stone. As a result, the majority of VIBE employees were laid off. If you have the means to give, this team could use the support! www.gofundme.com/f/support-vi...

hear me out, what if I did a reading project where I read biographies of history's most irritating people

who would go on that list, please help me populate it. obviously Byron. obviously Thoreau. obviously Charlotte Bronte. who else.
November 14, 2025 at 1:11 PM
it's never a bad time to talk about the time Thoreau refused to pay taxes because he thought America was doing unjust wars of conquest (cause we were). my most contrarian opinion is that I fucking love Thoreau and you should too.

"But what can *I* do about it?" At the very least, you could be honest w yourself abt what you're doing if you see injustice or abuse & do nothing about it. At the very least, you can be honest w yourself--that you fail to act because you 1 believe in this gross system 2 want its spoils for yourself
