Excited to return from vacation and log onto open enrollment to figure out what to do after COBRA runs out in January

these stupid assholes got me leaving angry voicemails for senators at 4:30pm on a sunday. the only thing i want to do at 4:30pm on a sunday is serenely contemplate my evening sandwich

Thank you all so much for your support 💛💛💛 our petition demanding the company reinstate us and reverse our illegal terminations is now live! show your support at the link below actionnetwork.org/petitions/te...

what if for my birthday you bought my book. haha jk. unless……. simplicitybook.xyz

There are many things I want to celebrate on my wife’s 40th but for now I’d love to focus on her being an absolute smokeshow.

Flaming Hydra is a coop. All you can do with your share is sell it back to the coop (for $1), and nobody can have more than one. You have to be ready for growth to take a long time. Journalism is a public trust that should be accountable to readers alone, and that means readers alone pay for it.

got to post-Zohran blog @thecut.com — multiple election outcomes on Tuesday showed that refusing to fold on trans people, migrants, Muslims, and marginalized communities while pushing kitchen table issues is a winning strategy. the pundit class’s “Decision to Win”-style arguments can be put to bed

This is the facility that I and many others have been protesting. We’ve been hit, thrown, gassed, and shot with pepper bullets but none of that holds a candle to what is being done to people *in* the actual facility. Read this thread. Don’t look away. Keep your eyes and the pressure on Broadview.

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.

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

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.

The unionization of digital media was and is so important, and we gotta start reminding the bosses that it’s the floor

BRUTAL

"freedom to do what you want turned into the freedom to make money. Of course a well-executed cocktail party could be disguised as a modern act of self-expression. I had never thought of Martha Stewart as a product of Reaganism,but now, paging through her first cookbook,it felt impossible to unsee."

Well this piece just won an IACP award!

“New Yorkers at heart” ok well I’m an actual New Yorker and you just made all that up

So when is Zohran performing "Nani" at a Mets game

here is my story about how Zohran's focus on community amid the loneliness epidemic helped young people connect their politics to an organizing infrastructure, that interviewed ZM, and does not use the NYT's framing of "they don't know how to make friends" :-) and also ran 4 days before NYT's lol

also while we’re at it a bodega is distinct from a sheetz! fuck you!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Being a New Yorker rules I’ll just say

“New York will remain a city of immigrants, a city built by immigrants, powered by immigrants and as of tonight, led by an immigrant… So hear me, President Trump, when I say this: to get to any of us, you will have to get through all of us.”

i love new york city. many people are weird about it but it’s a special place. and i’m very relieved that we did not allow a politics of despair to get a foothold

BING BONG BABY

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.

Martha republished her first cookbook today, so it's a great time to reread my piece about cooking a menu from it and the specific version of wealth she sells in it www.eater.com/24283638/mar...

setting a 72-hour timer. this is the NYC LIB OUT ZONE. everyone gets a free pass for expressing enthusiasm for electoral politics in this carefully delineated window. post about the power of voting!!! cry over a schmaltzy campaign video!!!! allow a brief flutter of hope in ur rotted soul!!!!

My Zohran story is I was gonna host a fundraising party at my house for his Assembly campaign on March 20, 2020, which obvs didn't happen, so on April 3 I hosted a virtual fundraiser and 4 people showed up and he stayed on Zoom the whole time hanging and answering questions and being a sweetie

A very specific and heartfelt good morning to Natalie Maines

we ended up where we are now for a number of reasons, but one was that Dick Cheney realized he could go on camera, lie about saying things he’d previously said on camera, and TV interviewers would just sputter

Zohran really testing the Liberal Mom vote with the Elizabeth Street Garden stance

today’s information came out piecemeal, and people should be able to share their own situations on their own time, but I could share this much ^ as it is pretty cut and dry on the facts. Teen Vogue also no longer has any trans staffers as of today.

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.

I would like for national political reporters to place a moratorium on “But what will voters in the rest of America think about New York City’s socialist mayor?” We don’t care! Red states are notably full of psycho politicians yet rarely do you see pundits asking Brooklyn people about them.

Cara mia @mattielubchansky.com

Why the fuck is this on a LinkNYC?

Just noting that the Astoria Food Pantry does amazing work and could always use your money givebutter.com/afp2025

"McWhorter"

always funny to see under which conditions a graphic novel counts as A Book for the list industrial complex

I know "decorum" is never the most important thing about politics and the major problem here is the people who won't be able to eat, but it's shocking to see elected officials talk like this in public! And it should be shocking!

I found this piece sad too, but mostly because it is part of a years-long effort by progressives to understand what "really" animates Trump voters. We already know! It is racism, misogyny and misinformation. I know that sounds condescending or whatever but it's simply what all evidence suggests.

Allow me another birthday selfie

It's my birthday so I think you should buy my wife's book www.penguinrandomhouse.com/books/739012...

I wrote about the Indian chefs rejecting butter chicken, and those reclaiming it, and why they feel it needs to be reclaimed in the first place slate.com/life/2025/10...

Facialist literally said “what aging?” so happy birthday to me

Whole news network without the concept of “auntie”
