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.

Plaid Cymru won the Caerphilly by election, beating Reform into second place. So does #trevorphillips interview someone from the winning party? Of course he doesn't!
Instead he interviews Zia Yusuf from Reform.

Today the House of Lords votes on a government amendment that would let ministers overrule local planning decisions. Labour are backing it. Greens are voting against it. Because local democracy matters.

Just for perspective, a few weeks ago roughly 100,000 turned up for the London Trans+ Pride march. By contrast fewer than 3,000 ACROSS THE WHOLE COUNTRY, have turned up to anti-asylum "protests". Yet we are meant to take the latter as "the voice of the people" and the former as "the minority".

John Boyne says LGBTQ+ fiction prize backlash brought him ‘close to the edge’
Gender critical novelist urges writers to reenter prize they boycotted and may ask judges not to shortlist his novella
