if there was a rich person with the will, you could build the most incredible news organization that has ever existed just from the wreckage of this year alone.
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 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.

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.

The White Paper will have a devastating impact on migrant women

Yesterday, many Palestinians (some children under the age of 18) who had been held without charge & denied their basic rights by the Israeli government were finally released
But thousands more remain in arbitrary detention under appalling conditions and must not be forgotten

I see the toxic UK media is still banging on about migrants. Daily Mail is literally repeating its news coverage from 1920 which we all know where that took us… people really need to wake up to what’s really happening…

Also people keep asking me if I find AI translation helpful in my work and AI TRANSLATION IS NOWHERE NEAR COMMERCIAL QUALITY and NO I DON'T EDIT AI TRANSLATION BECAUSE IT'S MUCH FASTER FOR ME TO JUST DO THE ACTUAL TRANSLATION THAN EDIT CRAP because PAINTING CRAP WITH GOLD DOESN'T TURN CRAP INTO GOLD
Someone recently wrote a book using ChatGPT and emailed it to me, asking if it's any good, as if I would ever waste a second of my time reading it? Why are people so shameless? Why do people want to be seen as "writers" so much? Why can't they use AI to get a lucrative job in coding instead?
Just received a blanket pitch from a children's book author (sent, presumably, to many indie bookstores) pitching a clearly AI-illustrated book. In the interest of public service, this was my response. I'm fucking done with being nice to these people.

A Labour leader with a spine would take the photos of middle aged men outside refugee centres with banners saying "protect our wives and kids" and read out every conviction for violent abuse of partners and children shared among the participants.
Full press conference. As long as it takes.

I really wonder what would need to happen to disrupt the British media‘s current obsession with immigrants.
I am serious. What would it take to talk about something else? Putin invading a few more countries? Another Prime Minister being hounded out of office? Global economic collapse? A tidal wave?

Why does the washing machine—which is surely in charge of the washing machine—have such a hard time accurately predicting how much time the washing machine cycle has left? It said 17 minutes so I set a timer for 18 minutes, went back and it now says 14 minutes 🧐
