my “yes, even the empty margins of our files are redacted” t-shirt answers a lot of questions already answered by my t-shirt

Absolute shame on Senator Alsobrooks.

Wildly unconstitutional.

I hate how much I enjoyed this BIG NERD DESIGN ENERGY 🫦

just learned we won an award for our blog post about Tom Holland and stormwater management. remember, when you see an article about stormwater management, you repost it. i don’t make the rules.

"I'll burn down your house" - legally actionable, boring, common "I told the trees about you" - legally acceptable, foreboding, unsettling, the plants know your name and hate you

For all the mfers who say workers just serve coffee, just deliver packages, just stock shelves, just clean rooms, just prep food, or just check in guests, remember this, they keep our communities running every day. And when they’re on a picket line, you respect it.

NWU recently implemented a simple, plain-language policy governing AI use for union business. We think it can serve as an example for organizations that want to protect members’ privacy and ensure creative work is done by creative workers. #NewsNotSlop nwu.org/ai-policy

BREAKING: A new wave of union baristas are joining the longest ULP strike in Starbucks history! 2,500 union baristas across 120+ stores in 85 cities are now on an open-ended ULP strike. We're SIXTEEN DAYS in and only getting stronger ✊

Why is it that every single person involved in this thievery technology has a smug face

Media closures are happening much too often these days, but there is POWER in a UNION! ✊🏼

Imagine escaping the literal Nazis, making it to America, living three quarters of a century there making your life, and then this:

This sucks SO HARD, and I am so sad to lose my criticism-writing home of nearly a decade. Solidarity to all my fellow Paste TV alumni!

The social-interpersonal ethics of American businesses is such that executives are treated like mini kings, which very much has an “elites kicked in the head by a mule”/“dictator’s dilemma” effect on their sense-making and constructed knowledge, and how people just carry out their insane decisions.

Union Starbucks baristas have overwhelmingly authorized an unfair labor practice strike starting TOMORROW (Thursday, November 13th), grinding Starbucks to a halt during the company’s busiest sales day of the year. #NoContractNoCoffee

Just for laughs...

Holy shit, just learned about the typewriter art of Montserrat Alberich Escardívol, a Catalan typist. Using an extra wide typewriter and 180 color ribbons, she built up elaborate images from simple characters like 'm' and '.' and ';'. Here is her typewritten painting of the Cathedral of Barcelona.

Among other things, young people are students who are often having to do “critical triaging” around basic needs, parents trying to feed their kids, & human beings who need food for themselves. When you don’t have access to critical resources like SNAP, “it can have ripple effects even beyond food.”

After the hopescrolling, what comes next? One of our members has some ideas.

Working as a freelancer should be an affirmative choice, but the reality is that many of us take up freelancing after a lay-off while applying for a vanishing number of media staff jobs. We hope this guide for navigating freelance work offers support & solidarity: sites.google.com/view/fsp-res...

It is our position that the media landscape is bleak, but not hopeless. Every day, our members are organizing to build a more just media industry, one that values workers and their labor. Join our union, and join the fight: nwu.org/join-now

We also condemn Condé Nast’s illegal decision to fire four Condé Union officers for demanding answers about the termination of their colleagues. We stand in solidarity with @nyguild.bsky.social as they address management's blatant union-busting.

The diversity at Teen Vogue directly influenced its vibrant and impactful reporting. Their loss is a blow to a media landscape that shrinks from making space for joy alongside rage when confronting the material realities of young people. Support our fellow workers: www.gofundme.com/f/help-laido...

We stand in solidarity with our @condeunion.bsky.social siblings at @teenvogue.com who were unceremoniously laid off last week. Layoffs are not a solution to unbalanced budgets, especially when those laid off come from marginalized backgrounds typically not represented at major media orgs.

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.

Tremendous shoutout to @hellgatenyc.com for their great liveblog today and livestream tonight m.youtube.com/watch?v=fKA4...

Capitalism is now illegal

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.

Finding it hard to articulate how much Teen Vogue as we know it did for my writing and reporting and career, but also my understanding of the world as a reader. There's a really solid chance that without that team, some random then-20-something from Kentucky wouldn't even be in this field.

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 was laid off from Teen Vogue this week, alongside multiple other phenomenal team members. At our Summit, I was asked how it felt to be 1 of 2 Black women left and what that meant for representation. Now, there are no Black women at Teen Vogue and that is incredibly painful to think about.

if there was a rich person with the will, you could build the most incredible news organization that has ever existed just from the wreckage of this year alone.

I am certainly no seasoned strategist but I am a little skeptical of the political wisdom behind building a giant golden ballroom and sharing a dozen photos of a renovated marble bathroom at the very moment that millions of people are losing access to healthcare and food.

Same day. 🇺🇸

SNAP isn't about "people who don't work." It's about people who don't get paid enough to live. Of the 40 or so million people who rely on food stamps: * Two-thirds are children, seniors, or disabled * Most working-age adults who receive SNAP are employed—but in jobs that pay poverty wages

A left wing politics that is oriented around your rights and identity as an individual consumer instead of your responsibilities as a member of a social or political community is basically a left aesthetic pasted onto an internalized neoliberal ontology.
