Digital Sijo
I emigrated from Instagram after 11 long years.
But morning is empty until the birds perform their sijo.
Are words just words if they cannot pierce a digital heart?

The full weight of western capitalism is about to laser focus on NYC. The robber barons failed to win and will panic. They will sabotage NYC because the system cannot allow Mamdani's term to be successful. They cannot allow people to believe things can be better. Your job now is to hold the line.

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.

What’s so funny about Lee Jae Myung giving Trump a Silla crown is that the Unified Silla empire fell partly due to a series of peasant revolts against excessive taxation 👑 truly an unmatched level of petty humor #southkorea #trump #politics #nokings #history
