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 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.

Today's Agatha Christie lecture was dedicated to Virginia Giuffre: the body in the library that refused to disappear just because the wealthy wanted her to.
Mr, Prince, whatever.
Thinking about this brave woman.

The brutal reality is that America is a place where having a job—even two or three jobs—doesn't guarantee that your most essential human needs will be met.
And now it's a place where millions of families are losing food assistance the same month as Thanksgiving.

You know who the real freeloaders in this country are? Not people who rely on SNAP, but corporations whose business model depends on wages so low that taxpayers have to feed their workers.

SNAP isn't about "people who don't work." It's about people who don't get paid enough to live.
Of the 40 or so million people who rely on food stamps:
* Two-thirds are children, seniors, or disabled
* Most working-age adults who receive SNAP are employed—but in jobs that pay poverty wages

Okay, I officially feel ANCIENT. In introducing the Great Chain of Being, I used #metoo as an example of a more recent paradigm shift. Some of my students had never heard of it. Don't mind me, I'm just running to the shops to buy some Centrum Silver.
