Teen Vogue eliminated all their Black and trans staff today.
It's resegregation in real time.

today’s information came out piecemeal, and people should be able to share their own situations on their own time, but I could share this much ^ as it is pretty cut and dry on the facts.
Teen Vogue also no longer has any trans staffers as of today.

Does anyone know of a small shop that has hummingbird stained glass? I’ve looked on Etsy, but most of it feels mass produced and I don’t want that. Thanks!

FYI: if you are in one of the outer rings of grief, you do not get to expect those in the inner rings to manage your grief or comfort you. Get grief counseling or something and leave me alone.

Started and stopped this a few times. Mostly lurk around these parts, but sharing anyway b/c I need to get it out. My Mom died suddenly yesterday. I am heartbroken and hurting so much both for me and my teen. It’s just not fair that they’ve lost 2 of their most important people before 18.

It's been a gift to see all of the white people who are publicly defending that man. A true gift. They are offering you an opportunity to clearly identify your antagonists.

Which work? Calling for gay people to be stoned to death? Blaming airplane crashes on black pilots? Anti-vax bullshit? Election denialism? Pushing Great Replacement Theory?
Kirk’s murder is awful and ominous for this country. But no, we don’t need to honor him or “continue his work.”

My downstairs neighbor is trying to shove a fully inflated air mattress into the back of his hatchback.
And now we all understand how he almost burned down the apartment building a while back.

See? This shit is why I'm not going to let up on Newsom or other transphobic Democrats: they might otherwise go the Labour route and plunge the country into full on transphobia as policy.

Maybe RFK Jr just learned mitochondria is the powerhouse of cell?
wtf is this nonsense? He thinks he can understand kid’s “mitochondrial challenges” just by looking at them?
This is an insane person.

The formatting options are what’s annoying me the most. I specifically use Notepad because of the simple text with no frills. It doesn’t cause wonky formatting when I paste things from Notepad into other documents.
Look what they did to Notepad. Shut the fuck up. This is Notepad. You are not welcome here. Oh yeah "Let me use Copilot for Notepad". "I'm going to sign into my account for Notepad". What the fuck are you talking about. It's Notepad.

When I was a toddler, I had heart surgery for a congenital defect. Since then, I see a cardiologist & get an echocardiogram every few years. My primary care dr recently realized that I shouldn’t see a regular cardiologist, but 1 that specializes in adults w/ CHDs. So I got a referral for that (1/3)

Everything is terrible but I just showed the ten year old Baz Luhrmann’s Romeo + Juliet (which is utterly ridiculous but also still kind of great) and she goes “oh that super cute boy from the Titanic is in this, what’s his name, Ballerina Cappuccino?”

The cat has been wandering the apartment meowing off & on all morning. He just came in, jumped up on my lap (which he never does), & went to sleep. I don’t know how the cat knows it’s the anniversary of husband’s death, but he must. He never acts like this. Cat still misses his person. ❤️
