Among other things, young people are students who are often having to do “critical triaging” around basic needs, parents trying to feed their kids, & human beings who need food for themselves. When you don’t have access to critical resources like SNAP, “it can have ripple effects even beyond food.”
It feels a bit weird to post right now in light of what has happened to @teenvogue.com and so much of the incredible team there. What sources shared here is important, & I’m grateful I got to work on this. I reported on how young people are being impacted by delays to SNAP: “It’s about survival.”
More Young People Will Go Hungry Without SNAP

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.

I'm looking into a potential story about job seeking on LinkedIn and I would love to hear from folks who have *not* been financially scammed but felt like a job listing or prospective employer they've interviewed with had ulterior motives. Send tips to reeltalkonline@gmail.com.

Call me, Emmys! This is just one of my genius ideas!
I think if it’s your first win ever, you should get longer time and any each other time you win another, your time gets briefer.

Every time @thenation.com publishes the writing of Lujayn, a teen in the Gaza Strip, I hold my breath while reading. If you read one thing today, make it this: "Don’t you dare preach “child protection” to our children while they are bombed and starved in front of the whole world."
I’m a Teenager In Gaza. And I Am Starving.
What hits you first is the exhaustion carved into every face. The sickly pallor. The terrifying weight loss ravaging everyone—yes, including me.
