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.

I'm aggressively reposting this because thousands upon thousands are hitting the streets this week, and it's an excellent time to help people connect their politicization and rage to ongoing movement work — and expand their view of our power in this moment! if you're protesting tmr, worth a read?

Fantastic reporting here by Cat. And honestly, tea!

You might be familiar with Partiful, that events app that keeps texting you about your coworker's friends birthday. Here's my conversation with their CEO www.thecut.com/article/wait...

"People revere musicians and songwriters more than they do politicians and other elite leaders at this point." I spoke with @craigsj.bsky.social about @ekkoastral.bsky.social, @liberationwknd.bsky.social & why music gives me hope. I hope you'll buy a ticket to our big trans rights fest!😃🏳️‍⚧️

"We have ICE on our streets abducting people because Donald Trump or Marco Rubio don't like their speech. That's crazy, and we have to figure out how to respond to it," Rutgers professor + @aaup.bsky.social president Todd Wolfson tells @leximcmenamin.bsky.social www.teenvogue.com/story/aaup-t...

Excellent and horrifying piece from @chrisstanton27.bsky.social , who spoke to former healthcare executives about the soul-destroying things they witnessed at the top of the for-profit medical insurance industry nymag.com/intelligence...

Unfathomably awful that California forces prisoners who are paid a teeny percentage of minimum wage to put their lives in grave danger

hello bluesky i wrote about bisexuals www.thecut.com/article/bise...

Inspired by others, I'm going to try to do my own quick year-end freelancing thread. This was the year I became a full-time freelance journalist—at first out of necessity, and then by my own active decision. 2024 has been up and down in so many ways, but I think I made the right choice for me.

Office Siren? Babygirl (2024)? Succession fancams to Brat? @catzhang.bsky.social on "The Year of the Office Pervert" in The Cut: www.thecut.com/article/offi...

they let me into the New Directions office 😈

I wrote about Eusexua, Babygirl, Industry, the “office siren” trend, and the corporate 9-5 as erotic fantasy www.thecut.com/article/offi...

The Bisexual on Hulu: criminally underrated TV show that would have killed if it had been released this year and not in 2018 ... humor is so painfully British in the best way

spotify wrapped sucks so here are my most listened-to songs and albums of the year
