A lot of things are really bad, but being able to make something with my hands feels extra powerful these days. Creation in the face of destruction. Remembering this keeps me sane.

A photograph of a woven tapestry blanket behind held up so the illustration is in view. The blanket features an illustration of a brown bear sleeping on mossy rocks inside of a cave. The roof of the cave is open to the sky, with stars and a crescent moon visible.
Cozy season is upon us! What could be more cozy than a blanket featuring this snoozing bear?

I was laid off from Teen Vogue today along with multiple other staffers, and today is my last day.
certainly more to come from me when the dust has settled more, but to my knowledge, after today, there will be no politics staffers at Teen Vogue.
The unpredictability is key.
When the law is stupid enough, badly written and ambiguous enough, you can never be sure when it's going to step on your neck.
Even if today it didn't get you, maybe tomorrow it will.
A stupid enough law acts as stochastic terrorism.

A digital sketch of an ornately carved guillotine, an old man with a false crown made of weeds and twigs looks down pensively at a pile of heads that sit beneath the guillotine in the foreground. Through the hole of the guillotine we can see that his hands are shackled. The blade of the guillotine hangs above his head, ready to drop.

White words on a black background read: 50+ Immigration agents have the authority to detain whom they reasonably suspect are in the country illegally. We found more than 50 Americans who were held after agents questioned their citizenship. They were almost all Latino. ~130 Agents also can arrest citizens who allegedly interfered with or assaulted officers. We compiled cases of about 130 Americans, including a dozen elected officials, accused of assaulting or impeding officers. ~20 Among the citizens detained are nearly 20 children, including two with cancer.
Hi, I'm the ProPublica reporter who's been tracking an unusual stat: U.S. citizens grabbed by immigration agents.
I did it because the government isnβt.
This is what I found.

There needs to be a system to appeal medical records the same way you can with criminal records, because biased and fucked up medical records can fuck up your life just as much.

βWhen they rob us of art and emotion, that leads us towards the aesthetics of fascism. In this film, all the sets are real, the decor is human-sized, there are painstakingly created miniatures... Itβs there to remind us that art is not only necessary, it is urgent. And AI can go fuck itself!β
