We're socialized to constantly apologize for being too outwardly excited about things, but this world is so full of terror and misery that I'd rather see those bursts of light and passion shine through the cracks wherever you can find them.

This is bloody awful news 😞
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.

Shell is a great follow, for all sorts of reasons, but particularly if you're interested in how for profit tech affects kids 👇
Phone / screen free campaigns are just making families shamed for having phones. It is hard for a child to exist now and get buses or pay for things without a phone. Phones are also cheaper than laptops and a brick phone isn’t a good long term investment. We should shame tech ceo not families

Metal mechanical pencil - where can I buy one? Something strong. In 2006 I bought one from muji that was so sturdy I could have stabbed a watermelon with one. But they don't sell them now.

I hope that heaven is being able to open a door and bring able to revisit your children and any age. And dying is like being carried upstairs by ur da, drifting off to sleep with a softly fading awareness that there's a party going on without you. They're probably not though.
