thank you for all the support; the statement from our union is now live here with some more reporting.

now that this is public I can confirm that the majority of today’s layoffs were women of color. there are no longer any Black women working at Teen Vogue.

Vogue's absorption of and closure of Teen Vogue feels like -- is -- a direct attack on a new generation of queer journalists who were committed to excellence and the power of journalism to illuminate the stories of people at the margins.

And it impacts all of us, no matter our age.

What a gut punch. Teen Vogue has been a gorgeous shining light in these dark, hideous times.

Oh, wow. I am so sorry — I'm sorry you lost your job, I'm sorry that Teen Vogue is eradicating its excellent politics staff, and I'm sorry that this is happening when we desperately need all of you.

NYMag blew up its story about ICE's increased presence at 26 Federal Plaza, and pasted it on a wall a few blocks away on Broadway

sometimes I hit the wall of depressing, and I cannot do more

Oh snap.

Anyway

We've got you 👍

someone invited people magazine to the kitchen and they brought their own knives

oh the baby bangs are a bad look

Yeah, if your migraines are hormonal, you can age out. Mine, sadly, are not.

Yeah, as I peeled off cast members, credits, relationships, and wardrobe choices, I realized the endeavor was at best fruitless and at worst

We tried to address the red highlights, but that was too much.

Seventh Heaven was outrightly christian. Party of Five was vaguely so, like The Waltons.

And Chanel Vamp.

"Everyone wore burgundy lipstick in the late 90s," I told the Tween.

"Why?" They said.

Indeed.

I told the Tween, "That's Sidney, played by Neve Campbell, who was in a vaguely Christian drama about a family of five, called Party of Five, and that's Gale Weathers, played by Courtney Cox, who was in a comedy about six friends called Friends."

Somehow it did not help.

On the left, young Neve Campbell with a short black bob wearing burgundy lipstick and a black shirt; on the right, young Courtney Cox with a short black bob wearing burgundy lipstick and a black shirt. Both actors appear in Wes Craven's 1997 Scream 2.

We started watching Scream 2 with the Swedish Tween and had to abandon it because the Tween could not tell the difference between the two women with "the brown bob."

thanks, btw, I did respond to your email, which was temporarily derailed by a glitch.

Well this migraine is the most migrainey migraine to migraine in lo these many migraines.

Oh I'm posting from the bed whose mattress is stuffed unto bursting with all of my fictiony cash.

Stories are much better than the reality, which is why you and I make the big bucks.

Technically, Sweden has a royal family. My husband chatted with the king on the grounds of Drottningholms slott, the queen's palace, when Bob the Dog barked at the king's dogs and the dogs reciprocated. But no one really cares about Sweden's royalty. There's no cult.

Like, you people do realize that all of this — every little bit of this mourning coat nonsense — is unbelievably immoral and horrifies those of us who are anti-imperialist outsiders.

When I got invited to speak at Eton, I got a tour of the buildings, including the chapel. It was weeks after Elizabeth II had died, and my guides were very proud to point out her seat in the pew, a wildly grandmotherly antimassacared affair with heaps of crocheted woolen cushions. Weird as fuck.

Or a Zelda Fitzgerald party where you serve your boiled jewels as soup!

Okay, but a zombie Gatsby party works. Or there's this political protest group that's been around since Bush, Billionaires for ________, wherein members dress like stereotypical rich people and smoke ironic cigars at protests. That would work.

On this week’s Wait Wait…Don’t Tell Me, I ask Julia Fox if her butt derailed the Tour de France.

And Democrats too — I have donated to pro-Palestine organizations with dedication to Chuck Schumer and Hakeem Jeffries.
