I was hollering and pounding on the table even before I saw this was a @colinreports.bsky.social job

I am doing my damnedest to do and advocate for climate work that makes a big positive impact on people’s daily lives, and not center the C word, in my community

IMO that’s the way forward

Awful countries make voting hard. Good countries make voting easy.

Awful leaders make voting hard. Good leaders make voting easy.

#VOTE
People waiting in line to vote is simultaneously inspiring and infuriating.

Great that people are willing to wait an hour or more to cast a vote, but horrible that they have to endure that.

No more Black or trans staffers. No politics of any kind. The cowardice of mainstream media isn't just insulting, it's *boring.* Now TV is just like any other beauty rag. Why not just kill it quickly? Why the slow-motion pretense?
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.

Remember when we were all like "Well, at least Teen Vogue is consistently taking a stand and educating about systemic power imbalances in an accessible (and honestly surprising) fashion!"?

Yeah, so about that…
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.

Cool, I get to go talk to Velma's teacher cuz two girls in her class are bullying her. Apparently, they have decided she is poor(?)... Which might be the most LA nonsense I have heard.

Let's just lay it out. Epstein was a glorified pimp who used and sold the services of children to the wealthy, the elite, and the powerful. His clients will destroy anything and everything to stay hidden. They will even starve poor people. They have no bottom and no conscience.

Actual horror writers have described my jack o'lanterns as terrifying, while another friend went with "nightmare fuel". I may have bossed too close to Uncanny Valley…

Israel never ceases fire. And even if it did, it would still be carrying out military occupation, apartheid, mass arrests, land theft & more. Boycott Israel. Divest from Israel. Sanction Israel. Genocide is an active project & we are complicit. Action is the only way forward
