so far the only bad thing about my new job is the lack of windows. we’re getting into winter and I’m taking my lunch breaks in my cold car just so I can remind myself what color and sunlight is.

those of us laid off from Teen Vogue were really fortunate to complete our fundraising goal — the laid-off staffers at VIBE deserve the same support, as Black media outlets and journalists continue to be targeted and discriminated against in “austerity” measures
It was announced on October 16, 2025 that VIBE was "joining forces" with Rolling Stone. As a result, the majority of VIBE employees were laid off. If you have the means to give, this team could use the support! www.gofundme.com/f/support-vi...

how many have lost their assumption that the highest officers of our government were there by means of being savvy and knowledgeable strategists, and not merely there because they play well with the boys club

the gap between the final paycheck of the part-time job I quit and the first paycheck of the full-time job I’m starting has eaten the last of my cash and I still have a few weeks to go 😮💨 but the end is in sight!

The creator calling churches and asking for help for her starving baby to test them is doing god’s work (pun intended lol), and it reveals what a lot of us already knew.
The backlash from the churches who failed the test (many mega churches) has also been very telling.

Taking Republicans at their word that they’ll address healthcare costs later isn’t compromise—it’s a betrayal of the values Oregonians sent me to Congress to fight for.

For comparison, that's equivelent to 1.58% of the City of Portland's police budget this year. The police probably spent more than that just to do shoplifting stings. Let's turn in the tap.
