There is something really wrong with people who need workers to be not just competent, but slavishly fake-happy. "Slavishly" used on purpose, bc that's where this grotesquerie comes from.

I wrote for @slate.com about a legendary (and violent) Tennessee sheriff who more likely than not murdered his wife and the people who want to keep him on a pedestal. slate.com/news-and-pol...

The liminal time is coming.

wow!! a trillionaire! every reaction i am having is definitely within both legal and community guidelines!!

All the time. ALL the time.

So now we need to throw a hot dog and a taco at a cop to see if we can get legal precedent for the ‘what is a sandwich’ question

I was acting as a union member and concerned employee when I questioned Stan Duncan, well within my legal rights. I don't love pointing to my identity, but the company saying that I was behaving "aggressively" when I was calmly asking questions feels like a clear transphobic dog whistle.

More important to me than my identity, I am also the Vice President of the NewsGuild of New York, and targeting me with a blatantly retaliatory termination like this feels like an egregious shot against our union and against media workers as a whole.

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

Delighted to be in such great company!!💥🌟⚡💫

I carved this stamp yesterday after singing this song in my head all day! The video is kinda going viral (for me, at least) on instagram and I hope Mamdani sees it! #linocut #diy #stampcarving #mamdani

someone got indicted on the basis of “transporting antifa materials” for allegedly transporting a box of ZINES THEY’RE PROSECUTING PEOPLE FOR DOMESTIC TERRORISM OVER ZINES

It’s been a pleasure working with Lex and everyone in the politics vertical at Teen Vogue. I’m heartbroken that my column, Disability Visibility, is gone. Teen Vogue was one of the few places that published disabled journalists regularly. I just spent the last 2 months working on my next column

All day, many of you have been asking for a Cheney obituary from me. Get ready:

thank you for the outpouring of support! those of us laid off from Teen Vogue yesterday are now sharing our GoFundMe to help us cover our emergency expenses now that we've lost our incomes, as we get back on our feet.

Will be curious to see what Conde does with the Teen Vogue archive. Keeping it up means they still want ad revenue from the clicks on existing content. Taking it down means this really was about destroying and erasing political voices that make NYC's upper crust uncomfy.

NEW VIDEO ALERT! Today on Bar Cart Bookshelf we're talking about THE EVERLASTING by Alix E. Harrow. A time looping fantasy of ferocious lady knights & the nervy chain-smoking scholars who love them: folklore amid fascism. Fierce, clever, & impassioned. Our drink is Valiance, beneath the yew tree.

If only!

i'm a very biased party here but pretty much everything about the Mamdani campaign and the discourse around it thus far is a pretty thorough vindication of Africana Studies

If you've stopped masking in public for whatever reason, now is a really good time to start again

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.

A movie you've seen more than 7 times with a gif

The weekly US influenza surveillance report is now lagging behind by 6 weeks. The last data update was for the week of September 20th. This used to be a vital tool to alert on how widely flu was circulating during peak season. Looks like we will be flying blind this year. www.cdc.gov/fluview/surv...

I can't think of anything to say

The audience for these things have to be addressed too. Because it’s wider and more influential than people want to admit.

"threads should feel more like conversations you'd have IRL, and that's why we're implementing downvotes, a feature you strongly associate with reddit" is kinda funny.

“some people abuse SNAP” your soul is rotten

I talked to @biidaasamose.bsky.social about what it takes to stay human and protect each other in fascistic times, and how we can build networks of care, defend our neighbors, grieve, and make space for joy. This episode includes some Nishnaabe wisdom and music from Leanne. Transcript + audio:
