Genial: die Jobcenter laden psychisch Kranke vor, um zu schauen, ob sie wirklich psychisch krank sind. Wenn sie nicht kommen, sind sie "Totalverweigerer*innen", wenn sie es in die Jobcenter schaffen, können sie ja nicht wirklich psychisch krank sein

Die wollen Menschen sterben sehen. Jedes bisschen „Einsparpotential“ läuft letztlich genau darauf hinaus und das wird absolut wissentlich inkauf genommen.

My dears, I read quite a few books this year and this one might have been my favorite, but it’s definitely going to be in the top3.
Woodworking is a GOODREADS CHOICE NOMINEE for Best Debut Novel! If you wanted to toss it a vote, I would love that! And if you wanted to vote for something else, that's great too, as there are so many good books, but maybe just forget to vote before the deadline??

I feel like we have the opportunity to turn David Lynch's quote into this moment's "Keep Calm and Carry On" and it's a far better rallying cry too.

The unionization of digital media was and is so important, and we gotta start reminding the bosses that it’s the floor
New: Conde Nast fired four employees who were among a group that confronted the company's head of human resources on Wednesday over the decision to fold Teen Vogue into Vogue/recent cuts. Employees who were fired included journalists from the New Yorker, Wired, and Bon Appétit.

More important to me than my identity, I am also the Vice President of the NewsGuild of New York, and targeting me with a blatantly retaliatory termination like this feels like an egregious shot against our union and against media workers as a whole.

I love my job, I love my coworkers, and I love my union. I'm devastated the company made this move. There are so few trans women in media at all — particularly ones who aren't confined to "Queer Media" — and I was incredibly proud of what my position at Bon Appétit meant within the industry.

I was acting as a union member and concerned employee when I questioned Stan Duncan, well within my legal rights.

I don't love pointing to my identity, but the company saying that I was behaving "aggressively" when I was calmly asking questions feels like a clear transphobic dog whistle.

I'm one of the four fired employees. I was a writer & producer at Bon Appétit for nearly five years, during which I helped organize our union and sat on our bargaining committee.

I am, to my knowledge, the only trans woman in our union and the only trans woman on editorial who doesn't work at Them

I talk to the press professionally, I'm really, really, really good at it.

So please, please believe me when say you cannot turn this interview request into anything good, it will do only harm. Harm to you, harm to your child, harm to other children.
heads up to anyone who holds trans kids near: amy harmon from the nyt is searching for and having a hard time finding people to interview to find out exactly what trans kids are doing when their care is limited or cut off, and for purposes of community safety, please shut the fuck up around her.

this is actually impressive, making up a brand new nobel peace prize replacement is a genuine innovation in bribery

absolutely nobody does corruption like FIFA

Trying to find that line where Zohran says sth to the effect that we are not subjects anymore. I need to save that to teach that shit. Can’t think of a better way to demonstrate how important African history is

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.

„there are no longer any Black women working at Teen Vogue.“
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.
