raise your hand if you're not in NYC but you're following the mayoral election out of a desperate need to believe that good things are possible

Some advice on activism and feeling less helpless:
You probably cannot make a big change by yourself. That's okay. Find a thing you can do--either joining an existing thing or starting something small that you can sustain with resources you have--and start there.

Yes. People who don’t want to do anything, constantly critiquing the actions of folks who are doing something.
Sit in silence, then. Stop annoying us. We’re busy.

The way that pessimism is used as a preventive to every collective action is unhealthy

Can confirm Mike is an amazing editor!
I was recently laid off from my role as Senior News Editor at LateNighter and am looking for my next opportunity in journalism, editing, or writing-related fields.
Appreciate any referrals, connections, or advice as I navigate this next chapter. DMs open!

Welp. I've been laid off.
I'm so proud of my work at HuffPost. But I want to give a special shout out to my Culture crew @tarynitup.bsky.social, @marinafang.bsky.social, Njera Jenkins and Erin Evans for holding us down. It's rare to be on a team with all women of color. We were amazing together.

I have a little plea and it's this: please keep posting about things that aren't The Horrors. I am not saying to not look at or be informed about The Horrors. What I am saying—what I am genuinely kind of begging you to do—is keep posting about books and movies and sunsets and pets and joy. Please.

I am not saying things are going to be fine.
I am saying, find a thing to do that will put a little more hope in the world, however small.

Thinking about tomorrow and one thing I'm going to do (obviously, you do you) is spend the day fueling myself with creative pursuits. Creating things that I enjoy, rather than staring at something I hate.
