This is how I sound when my D&D players ask about an area I didn't write any lore about ...
Trump: "For generations Miami has been a haven for those fleeing communist tyranny in South Africa. I mean, if you take a look at what's going on in parts of South Africa. Look at South Africa, what's going on. Look at South America, what's going on. You know, we have a G20 meeting in South Africa."

Teen Vogue took young people seriously. It's impossible to overstate how important, how rare, and how profoundly needed that is.

According to new NBC and ABC/Ipsos polls, Trump's approval ratings — especially on the economy and cost of living — are now in the negative double digits.
Remember: Trump is a failing president.
He is not all powerful.

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.

in many ways Aiyana IS Teen Vogue and Teen Vogue is Aiyana. The idea that she was laid off today is painful to even fathom. Please follow her and offer her everything.

The loss of the politics staff at Teen Vogue is an absolute travesty.
In a media marketplace that has been decimated by billionaires, tepid takes, and AI slop, Teen Vogue often stood out as a bastion of principled, purposeful journalism.
