I will never forget having to edit Jamal’s final, posthumous piece for the Washington Post, after he was murdered.
He was calling for free expression in the Arab world. You can read it here :

I am feeling the most vague wisp of hope. I am a pessimist at heart but just maybe, we do value our small communities

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 also want to *toot toot* my own horn. I should have a resume of shows & features I have coordinated with very small children (spoiler: every show billed from 2020 until at least 2027)

Any other parents with extremely finicky nappers on here? My nearly 1 year old just cannot rally for a nap and by 4:30 she is distraught after an entire day (not an exaggeration) to get her to rest.
She doesn’t even find a time to give up a scream. It’s actually impressive.

It never ceases to shock me that when you are doing basic care for a very small person, how the day VANISHES. You feel like you did nothing but poof

The world is having a hard time and Kim Kardash makes bush undies like we can afford bush razors in times like this. Fascinating
In other news, I sent my spouse a link to a pair and he was convinced it was for a work thing. So I also suppose being an Intimacy Professional is also kinda weird

I have started referring to American Evangelicalism as Pyramid Scheme Theology
They don't care what Jesus did or said. They think their only job is recruiting their downline.

These costs are sucking chest wounds to the average American, and will be impossible to weather. This, alongside the AI bubble, the housing market bubble, the loss of jobs, encroaching inflation, and every other batshit thing Trump does, will lend itself to a cataclysmic cascading failure.

Would you take with your kids? How do we feel about having them in our neighborhoods?

I’ve been really racking my brain in where to go when the fascism settles in. My small children just aren’t safe in America. Starting over in a right wing world (not just here) feels really awful
