Teen Vogue took young people seriously. It's impossible to overstate how important, how rare, and how profoundly needed that is.

An “I voted” sticker. It says “Yo voté” at the top and “I voted” at the bottom. It has a picture of a frog on a pedestal, drawn by a school kid, and the year 2025.

Go vote.

Having to use the Wayback Machine on CDC’s vaccine guidance pages burns like fire, and I hate it.

I love it! I just looked up the state flag and 🤣ed!

We are wondering, what is the album that the polar bear is holding?

We strongly condemn @CondéNast’s consolidation plans for Teen Vogue, a move that is clearly designed to blunt the award-winning magazine’s insightful journalism at a time when it is needed the most. More from our statement:

Timeline cleanse!

This male dung beetle is black and a deep iridescent metallic purple colour. He has just taken a look around from the top of his dung ball to make sure he’s going in the right direction, and is now climbing down to resume pushing! Dung beetles navigate by the sun and stars!

Dung beetles know where they want to go. They roll, push or shove their dung ball & every few seconds they stop pushing to climb on top of the ball to make sure they are going in the right direction. This dung beetle male is just climbing down after a look around.
