Despite wanting to quit in the middle of my second page today, I looked up 20 minutes later and saw I was in the middle of my sixth page. None of it is GOOD, but it IS written down.

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.

This song just popped into my head, and as goes the curse of the earworm I must share it to get it out.

Seriously though, I love classic TV themes so much. Did I once burn a CD of my favorites through TV history? 💯 An amazing use of Napster and free will. #nerd

I'm seeing a whole lot less outrage for the journalists of color who have been systematically discarded at places like NBC and CBS (and across journalism, really) than the response to Jimmy Kimmel's 5-day suspension.

Fun fact, in the early days of television, the World Series counted as Canadian content because it was "of special interest to Canadians."

Do you have small, dumb tasks in your job that make you want to quit life? I have these automations to set up, and it's not even hard. But every time, I out them off because something about it doesn't scratch my brain the right way.

The Walton family is worth over $400 billion BECAUSE Walmart employees are on SNAP.

The Walton family (who own Walmart) are worth over $400 billion, yet many of their employees are on SNAP.
Bezos is worth over $400 billion, many Amazon employees require SNAP.
The people who need help are not the problem.
It’s corporate greed. It’s an unwillingness to pay a living wage.

I'm so sick of discourse from supposed allies about where trans people went wrong.
Where we "went wrong" is that billionaires spent unimaginably large sums to attack us repeatedly and major media outlets have spent a decade piling on.

the post office is a public service. it doesn’t need to make money. public transit doesn’t need to make money. the library doesn’t need to make money. some things exist for the public good and we desperately need lawmakers to stop thinking about them in terms of capitalism. these are not businesses.
