That’s a no on union busting at Condé Nast from @newyorkstateag.bsky.social

You can also support the Fired Four via this GoFundMe

Stand with Condé Nast Union 🚨 We’re calling on you to sign our petition telling management to reinstate the Fired Four, reverse the suspensions, and end the union busting. Sign here: actionnetwork.org/petitions/te...

Breaking News: Late last night Conde Nast illegally fired 4 union organizers who asked company execs to explain the downsizing of Teen Vogue and continued layoffs. We’ve filed a grievance.

I'm one of the four fired employees. I was a writer & producer at Bon Appétit for nearly five years, during which I helped organize our union and sat on our bargaining committee. I am, to my knowledge, the only trans woman in our union and the only trans woman on editorial who doesn't work at Them

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.

Really proud of this profile Samantha Riedel wrote of me in THEM. We talked about BLACK FLAME, DC comics firing me, Palestine, and real-life community as it relates to the internet. www.them.us/story/gretch...

Been thinking about what i call the "anti trans style guide" that conservatives use as a foil to the newer, more sensitive language that's taken hold. it's essentially a total remaking of language to dehumanize trans people but it's more tortured and annoying than any "woke" language ever was

Ariana Grande puts money behind her trans-community support and donald is still a c*nt that's all. @jamesfactora.bsky.social for @them.us www.them.us/story/ariana...

For context, this is a tactic fascist groups have been using for years, in particular when trying to target Pride events. Here's @jamesfactora.bsky.social on one such Patriot Front op in 2022: www.them.us/story/a-whit...

We are appalled, but not surprised, by Condé Nast’s layoff of four union members last week, which marks the third time in less than a year that layoffs have impacted our union as well as many of our colleagues outside of the bargaining unit. (1/8)

here's @jamesfactora.bsky.social reporting at the time: www.them.us/story/human-... "Our goal is to raise at least $25,000 by the end of the month [...] ensuring they don’t feel pressured to sign NDAs just to receive an extra month of pay and benefits." www.instagram.com/queers_for_l...

hey, if you are able, please chip in to support the 47 workers HRC canned earlier this month. the gfm has gotten some support but is still a long way from its goal: www.gofundme.com/f/support-lg...

sucks how i can be into the premise of a book right up until an official description refers to it as "ownvoices" at which point i immediately lose all interest

The news cycle and the queer journalists

the annoying thing about the EMILIA PÉREZ debate is that all of the criticisms of the film tend to get boiled down to matters of representation when my primary beef with it is that it is simply a bad movie

Mood, 2 weeks into 2025

i would like to celebrate david lynch by sharing maybe my favorite thing he ever did … a comic strip. www.lynchnet.com/angrydog/

<3 you both "David would sit right over here... and David would say, Angelo that's great, I love that, that's a good mood... oh that's it, it's very beautiful, I can see her... now, she's starting to leave, keep falling... now, go back into the dark woods"

Lynch's sincerity and his penchant for exploring human darkness ultimately sprung from the same well, which is why his influence is so vast and why it's so difficult to do something """Lynchian.""" But he really loved when a thing was earnest and "corny," as seen below. youtu.be/9DCnIvLmKdA?...
