Vogue's absorption of and closure of Teen Vogue feels like -- is -- a direct attack on a new generation of queer journalists who were committed to excellence and the power of journalism to illuminate the stories of people at the margins.
And it impacts all of us, no matter our age.

This is why independent and nonprofit media is so important - we can't trust corporations to pursue anything other than their own interests
This is a huge loss for us all - Teen Vogue has been an excellent source of hard hitting journalism

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.

The network that was literally sustained on the backs of women & people of color is now firing exactly those people.
CBS/Paramount might not have survived w/o Lucille Ball & Desi Arnaz's Desilu Productions, & the weight they then lent to making a bunch of other shows happen.
I mean what the hell.

Let me be very clear. It is not enough that RFK Jr. was forced to admit today that no causal relationship between Tylenol and autism has been shown.
We know that while disinformation spreads like wildfire on social media, corrections most often die on the vine.

It’s ok to take a break.
It’s ok to unplug.
It’s ok to not keep up with the news 24/7.
It’s ok to prioritize your health, your down time or whatever you need to survive.
Rest is resistance, especially when you’re living with chronic illness.
Don’t feel guilty. You’re worth protecting.

Emily Tucker argues that the AI regulation debate largely misses the point: the real threat to democracy is unchecked data extraction and accumulation that is fueling corporate power. “We can have mass surveillance, or we can have political self-determination. We can’t have both,” she writes.
To Have Democracy, We Must Contest Data | TechPolicy.Press
Emily Tucker makes the case for redlines for data, not AI—real limits on corporate data collection to protect democracy and political self-determination.

The NYC MTA is transitioning to OMNY tap-and-pay cards, rendering swipe cards obsolete by June 2026.
OMNY is notorious for tracking riders through our devices, digital wallets, and credit card top-ups, and the MTA is besties with the NYPD. MTA Surveillance is a given.

Letitia James is a former public defender and public advocate. She's spent most of her career on the side of the marginalized and underprivileged. And let's be honest: Trump is attacking her because he doesn't want Black women in positions of authority in this country.

tbc im fine with this argument. i also quibble a bit with the possibility of anything about the computer or people with a weird relationship with it having a slur at all, since slurs come with the power of reinforcing a repressive hierarchical system
this is driving me insane
the argument isn't "don't call the computer a fake slur, that's mean/racist"
it's "let's NOT get comfortable using that kind of language in general, especially when *actual* racists are using them because they *sound* like slurs they can say without getting in trouble"
