What you have to fundamentally internalize as an indie media maker is that what you are building is countercultural.
All systems will fight you the whole way through. Many people will tell you it can’t be done. No one will see the full vision but you.
And you have to do it anyway.

the intro & halfway through ch 1 already made me silently crash out, so i put the book down & went outside to touch grass with my dogs.
anna gifty mentioned jessica’s book in her double tax book, so i will be comparing notes since they discuss women’s underpaid & unpaid labor.

If someone is concerned about "losing their country" or feel like they arent respected, they dont give a fuck about economic policy. They just say that because it sounds better. Socioeconomics isnt simply about dollars and cents. Its about status, culture, social relationships and respect too.

women “ruining” the workplace, club culture & other third spaces is confirmation on how we’re supposed to sweep men’s predatory behavior under the rug.
overstepping boundaries all in the name of pursuing romance. men are NEVER not beating the pick me allegations.

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.
