those of us laid off from Teen Vogue were really fortunate to complete our fundraising goal — the laid-off staffers at VIBE deserve the same support, as Black media outlets and journalists continue to be targeted and discriminated against in “austerity” measures

It was announced on October 16, 2025 that VIBE was "joining forces" with Rolling Stone. As a result, the majority of VIBE employees were laid off. If you have the means to give, this team could use the support! www.gofundme.com/f/support-vi...

My latest is a love letter to Chicago. "I see you stumbling through the stubborn, awkward rhythm of showing up, again and again. I see you fighting alongside people who sometimes frustrate and confuse you, and defending neighbors you may have never met, because you know they’re all your people."
In Chicago, We Run Toward Danger Together
"Faced with unrelenting state violence, Chicagoans have refused to be cowed," says Mariame Kaba.

Truly awful news. Ruthless, short-sighted and ill-informed. I remember working at @uniofnottingham.bsky.social about a decade ago and the University taking great pride in being one of the biggest languages departments in the country… Where’s that pride gone?! www.bbc.com/news/article...?

Teen Vogue's Award-Winning Journalism Was Too Much Trouble for Condé Nast
The outlet just won recognition for speaking truth to power. Condé Nast responded by eliminating its entire politics staff and folding it into 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.

Anyway, I loved what this book had to say about Gray Gardens -- among other things. Highly recommend @leilataylor.bsky.social's latest.

Public Collectors publication #105 combines almost a year of my Bluesky posts about self-publishing, some messy studio photos, and the text from Why Self-Publish Under Fascism? This just came back from the printer and is available to order. Just $6.00 + shipping halfletterpress.com/PCpublic-pub....
Back cover: After many years on other social media platforms, in October 2024 I decided to see what Bluesky is all about. People described it as like Twitter without the nazis, and I liked the lack of advertising and algorhythmic excess. I enjoy telling stories and do this a lot elsewhere online but was cool with the 300-character limit and found it helpful for condensing my writing into tight chunks of thought. If I needed more space, I could always say more in the replies, but mostly I tried to see what I could say with a single post. I began writing about my self-publishing practice and quickly found a different and far more diverse audience than I have on other platforms. This booklet is a diary created through posts from near the beginning of my time on Bluesky until mid-September, 2025—almost a year. 2024-2025 has been a prolific time of making new publications for me, and some of those publications—particularly my text Why Self-Publish Under Fascism?—attracted many readers and new social media followers. That booklet was initially published on May 1, 2025. It came out of an invitation from Mariame Kaba to participate in a panel discussion titled: Why Make Zines in 2025: Information Control Under Fascism at the space Walls Turned Sideways in Chicago. I workshopped some of the text in a thread Mariame started on Bluesky. After making over 1,750 copies of that booklet by hand (I still might make more that way), I decided to fold that text into this publication since the diary content comes from a similar place of thinking and making. I’ve also added photos of my messy studio taken in September 2025, which became messier through printing, initialling, rubber stamping, and clipping the corners of so many copies of that popular booklet. I love when a book or zine inspires me to make more of my own publications and I hope this little collection of short thoughts will motivate others to publish new things in their own way.

THE ALCHEMY LECTURE The City of Our Dreaming LALEH KHALILI V. MITCH MCEWEN GABRIELA LEANDRO PEREIRA LEANNE BETASAMOSAKE SIMPSON With an Introduction by CHRISTINA SHARPE The City of Our Dreaming The Alchemy Lecture LALEH KHALILI, V. MITCH MCEWEN, GABRIELA LEANDRO PEREIRA, AND LEANNE BETASAMOSAKE SIMPSON The third annual Alchemy Lecture brought together four "Alchemists"-thinkers and practitioners working across disciplines and geographies-to share a constellation of ideas for the future. Their urgent, poignant and inventive lectures comprise The City of Our Dreaming, which shares their ideas for cities and how to shape them according to community needs. Together, V. Mitch McEwen, Laleh Khalili, Gabriela Leandro Pereira, and Michi Saagiig Nishnaabeg writer and musician Leanne Betasamosake Simpson, offer new models for crafting architectures of freedom in disparate imaginative spaces. From suggesting a city modeled on buoyancy that reconsiders displacement and a dream of radical kinship and bonds through reciprocal giving, to "projects paved by the audacity to inhabit" that are built from dreams-the site from which all Black emancipation begins-and the ways collectives form at the thresholds between things, The City of our Dreaming is a clarion calls for new conceptions of city life. The Alchemists imagine the architectures and infrastructures that make possible, inevitable and irresistible gestures of freedom, modes of sustenance, and the necessity and pleasure of breaking bread, together. dukeupress.edu/the-city-of-our-dreaming November 2025 | 182 pages 978-1-4780-3869-6 | $26.95 paperback $18.87 with discount Special offer: Use coupon code E26CITYD to save 30% when you order from dukeupress.edu.
