I'm having one of those weeks where absolutely nothing is straightforward. I just want to complete a task today where there are no additional snarls, just getting into it, getting it done, and being accomplished. I just burst into very frustrated tears about how stymied I'm feeling.

I love sinking hours into a class only to second guess myself based on phrasing and get the question entirely wrong.
Only 5 more weeks of this course. Then it's one seminar and a class to go, and this terrible choice for further education is over. But I get another hood. Because they can't STOP ME.

I want to celebrate last night's very pro Democratic election news, but at the same time Adelita Grijalva @adelitaforcongress.bsky.social has still not been sworn in, ICE is still in #PDX, and little kids are being held apart from their parents. We're still deeply, deeply fucked as a nation.

I am so upset.
Last week Time Magazine solicited a piece from me on Zohran Mamdani & anti-Muslim hate. I pitched a framing re the dehumanization of Muslims & how Mamdani’s inclusive, socialist campaign in its content resists that. They agreed. I wrote the piece. 1/

To be asked to write about racism only to be racially aggressed in the editing process is a new level unlocked I have to say.

The insulin patent was sold for $1 to ensure it would always be available to anyone who needs it.
It should be free, and healthcare should be a basic human right guaranteed to everyone.

Teen Vogue has had more guts to dissect and expose the truth when so many veteran media outlets have bent their knees to a criminal despot and his regime and this news is absolutely appalling and unacceptable
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.
