💔 From Dreams to Ashes – Help Me Rebuild Every morning, I stepped into my office with passion, arranging my desk, ready to tell stories that mattered. Journalism was my purpose, my voice for the voiceless. War took everything—my office, my home, my family. Donate and share: 🙏 gofund.me/bd019290

Just a reminder...

Breaking news: Thirty-one journalists were killed in Israeli airstrikes on a newspaper complex in Yemen last week, according to a new report by the Committee to Protect Journalists. They say it was “the deadliest strike on journalists in the Middle East.”

RFK Jr. is objectively pro-disease, pro-illness and pro-child death.

For @newyorker.com I wrote about the censorship of trans art. I spoke to many of my favorite artists from Puppies Puppies to Creighton Baxter, thought about strategic opacity, Amy Sherald, and whether or not we have had great trans artists. www.newyorker.com/culture/the-...

INVEST IN THE JOURNALISM YOU WANT TO SEE IN THE WORLD

I’m sorry @vanityfair.com hiring Nuzzi is such a fucking gut punch to all the great underemployed journalists out there who don’t sext with their sources, which, to be fair, is pretty much everyone except Olivia Nuzzi

📢Join us for Killing the Story, a virtual event on Oct. 7, 1pm PT/4pm ET! Palestinian, Arab, & Muslim journalists give firsthand accounts about how media manufactures consent & silences dissent as we approach 2 years of the Israeli-imposed & U.S.-backed genocide in Gaza. tinyurl.com/killingthest...

Not everyone can always cancel things during a boycott, but if you can, today is a perfect day to terrorize the shit out of Disney. Do it for a week. Or be like me (the person described in the follow up post) and cancel b/c you forgot you were subscribed. Then make sure to tell them why. I did.

Don't a let bunch of hateful fash Scrooge McDuckian broligarch ghouls destroy everything you love and care about without a fight.

I know everyone’s worried about the youths and AI, but I just had a delightful conversation with my students about how they hate it as much as I do

We don't know what's going to happen so might as well fight for better. That's really my basic political orientation.

Today, the UN officially designated Israel’s assault on Gaza as a genocide. As a party to the Genocide Convention, the U.S. has a legal obligation to obey our own laws, stop weapons sales to Israel, and demand a permanent ceasefire. End the genocide. Ceasefire now.

This became even more apparent after the death of George Floyd, the reactions to the Black Lives Matter protests, and the reckonings inside newsrooms. Now it's just more explicit.

We're witnessing the most aggressive, fanatical crackdown on free speech in my lifetime. The speed and breadth of government censorship and private sector and nonprofit capitulation has been astonishing. As has the lack of urgency/silence from people who've long claimed to care about this stuff.

And yes, I was the last Black full-time columnist in the Opinion section. Washington Post -- operating in a city which for a long time has been majority Black, is now without any full-time Black opinion writers.

Some personal news: I've been fired from the Washington Post in the aftermath of the Charlie Kirk shooting. Thread incoming. substack.com/@karenattiah...

I think without @ryanhatesthis.bsky.social and @garbageday.email I would have no idea how to understand what’s happening right now www.garbageday.email/p/charlie-ki...

“The retired general [said] more than 10% of Gaza’s 2.2 million population had been killed or injured – “more than 200,000 people”. That estimate is…close to the current figures provided by Gaza’s health ministry, which Israeli officials have frequently dismissed as Hamas propaganda.”

This was a mocking anti-suffrage postcard, but I love it and I need it on a T-shirt

This is a Melissa Hortman appreciation account for the next 24 hours.

No elected official Democratic party will be as cruel about Kirk's death as Mike Lee was about the death of Melissa Hortman. wisconsinexaminer.com/2025/06/17/s...

One of the only things keeping me going these days is teaching my class on feminism & journalism. It’s exactly the counterpoint I need to the world rn (and I really hope it is for the students, too)

i wrote this post in july two years ago when blue sky had around 200,000 total users and i thought i would ask again tell me what u are doing be proud of what u do and share it here

It is weird that the assassination of essentially a celebrity influencer is a bigger deal than the shooting of two top state legislators + their spouses

Charlie Kirk was taking questions from the crowd before he was shot. His last words were about trans people and mass shootings.

Just last month the FBI forced out its top agent in Salt Lake City, a Pakistani American woman whom a former FBI agent describes as a “legendary case agent who was involved in some of the most significant national security cases of the last two decades.” www.msnbc.com/msnbc/amp/rc...

Trump did NOT order all flags to fly at half-staff after the Minnesota House speaker was assassinated

Wrote some words about the great Rev. Joyce McDonald, whose survey show just opened at the Bronx Museum www.newyorker.com/culture/goin...

What kind of teacher has their students write all over the board and then doesn’t erase it before the next class comes in?! I know we are all laboring under precarity, but get it together, people

Is there a way to make Google search results less shitty? Or a better search engine that folks recommend?

OK but I don't want JD Vance to be president either??!!

One of the things that drives me crazy about being chronically ill is that it’s BORING. I miss seeing friends and doing stuff

Trying to find old Jezebel posts, and it's so depressing and fucked up how much of early digital media is just...gone. But anyway, please tell me about your favorite Jezebel stories, especially from the early days

Adam Raine, 16, died from suicide in April after months on ChatGPT discussing plans to end his life. His parents have filed the first known case against OpenAI for wrongful death. Overwhelming at times to work on this story, but here it is. My latest on AI chatbots: www.nytimes.com/2025/08/26/t...

the main thing that happened to music criticism in the last 25 years is it got defunded

Crystal clear.

Mariam Dagga, an AP freelancer and mother, was among the journalists killed in Israel's "double-tap" strikes on the Nasser Medical Complex in southern Gaza. In a "double-tap" strike, Israel bombs a facility once and then strikes again... after rescuers and journalists have raced in.
