@bencollins.bsky.social I don't suppose The Onion can support starting a teen-aimed politics-and-other-important-life-knowledge-focused edition, can it
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 don't think I've come across a poem that taps into my ethos when it comes to navigating queer community within the context of a hostile world as much as "We Have Enough Dead Friends" by Lena Oleanderson.
I strive to make my home a sanctuary where other faggots feel safe and cared for.

I did another #KnifeSky thread, I see.
Okay, an important wrinkle here is discerning when price actually corresponds to quality, and when you are paying for glitz. (It's fine to appreciate glitz, you should just understand what you're buying).
Knives are actually a great example.

these announcers are just getting WILDLY hyped for these window-tinting magic hands and, better yet, they are communicating that hype to us, the gently ignorant viewers, so we too can watch this and say "damn, that is indeed some intricate squeegee work right there!"
Hi guys, did you already know there are competitions for window tinting? With better commentators than most of the tennis matches I’ve watched on ESPN? (Low bar I know)
Anyway if you need to procrastinate harder than you’ve ever procrastinated before, I got you

I was already an obligate, voracious reader when I was a teenager, but let me tell you how much _more_ I read and how aggressively I tracked it for the promise of an additional gold star sticker on the cardboard pumpkin with my name on it hanging from the ceiling in the library
I know there's this whole theory that we shouldn't incentivize reading, that the reading itself should be incentive enough. But lemme tell you, teens love a little prize for doing an activity. You can't prize everything, but if you do it strategically, it can have an outsized impact.

if we wanted to fix book blurbing we would demand authors share what they texted friends while reading it, then slap "lmao this is pretty good actually" on the cover

if you're unfamiliar with Quaker speak, "We find this to be an attempt at lobbying by stealth, outside the discernment discipline of the Yearly Meeting, and an unhelpful
method of communication – as outlined in Quaker Faith and Practice 03.04."

This, from the Quakers, is a pretty good example of how to resist pressure from bigot lobbying groups. Effectively “we legally can allow trans people to use the loo, we morally should, and we tried it and nothing bad happened”

In case you need an ethicist's input: it's not only acceptable but, I'd argue, obligatory to say what you need to say to get a COVID vaccine. We have duties of care to each other, and particular duties of solidarity to those the regime wants dead, which supersede situational duties of truthfulness.
Just a heads up. I was able to schedule my COVID vaccine appointment. Online it will ask “do you have a condition that puts you at high risk for severe outcomes from COVID-19 virus.”
Click yes and it will allow you to schedule an appointment.
No questions asked.
No proof required.
Pass it on.

I have successfully made an appointment to get the '25-'26 COVID vaccine at CVS on the 4th! Maybe you can too!
There was exactly zero more hurdles to jump through than there were before. (Well. The "are you high risk for complications" question might be load-bearing now, but it's not _new_.)
