Hey, women, are you still doing the NYT's wordle? or reading their cooking stuff? their book stuff? their political essays or advice columns? Listen to their fucking podcasts?

Part of your subscription fees are paying for THIS.

Consider shunning the NYT for life.

For all of you who've now learned about the layoffs at Teen Vogue: the writers and staffers, many of them are left with imminent bills and no income.

If you feel so inclined, after you've cancelled yoru membership, they've set up a group GFM to receive donations for emergency funding as they find their footing.

Remember: you should tip GFM 0; they already charge the recipients as it is.

Teen Vogue has now been folded into Vogue, and all politics reporters, all Black women and all trans people working there were fired on Monday (11/3/25) morning.

That is, none of the people who made Teen Vogue a surprisingly effective civics communication vehicle remain with the magazine.

If you or someone in your family has a subscription, now it's a good time to explain what boycotts are and what they can do.

Note how "facts" becomes "progressive politics"

#CallToAction #PSA If you were on the fence about disconnecting your ring cameras, perhaps this will help you do it: amazon is now giving access to all its ring cameras to the Feds, local cops and ICE.

So they can arrest your neighbors.

"While we spectate on The East Wing being torn down, it isn’t just another hallway, it’s where Eleanor Roosevelt built the modern Office of the First Lady, where WWII bunkers were hidden, and where the public enters the People’s House. Erasing it is rewriting history."

How aren't all elected Democrats putting this on ALL their social media, with gift links to the WaPo's reporting, pointing out the lies, the cost, and the fucking symbolism.

HOW.

#USPolitics

Gift link, good piece at The Atlantic.

Please note: the "Young Republicans" aren't children; these are men (and some women) from their mid twenties to well into their thirties. Not surprising anyone who remembers that "boys will be boys" was trotted out to defend Trump's "I just grab them by the pussy" hot mic moment--which happened when he was well over SIXTY.

"UNTIL IT’S DONE, Ep. 4: Sylvia Rivera

In the 1970s, queer New Yorkers had been pushed to the margins of NYC. Our trans neighbors faced immense cruelty. But in Sylvia Rivera, they found a champion.

As we combat Trump’s politics of darkness, her legacy can light the path forward." --Zohran Mamdani

#CallToAction send this video to your local electeds, and demand this kind of moral clarity and political will to improve the lives of their constituents in ways that matter.

Love Mamdani's 'reaction video' to the news Eric Adams withdrew from the mayoral race. Very much, "in your face, Cuomo", and therefore, much appreciated.

New Yorkers, are you registered to vote? have you checked your registration recently?

Californians, find someone like this 👇🏽 and yeet Newsom.

On the news of Diane Keaton's death (this fucking year, I swear), a look at the U.S.'s attitudes toward working women, on the 25 anniversary of the release of "Baby Boom" and "Fatal Attraction", by Linda Holmes (published in 2012)

Remember all those comedians championing free speech while bemoaning a "cancel culture" that won't "let them say anything"?

Yeah, they're all at the Riyadh Comedy Festival, where they have to sign a contract full of rules about all the things they cannot say or poke fun at.

But hey, they're getting buckets of money from the man who orders the murder and dismemberment of journalists, bloggers, and anyone who criticizes him.

It's September 2025, and two Black men were lynched in Mississippi on Monday the 15th.

Cops may rule these suicide, as they've done in the past when Black men are found hanging from trees in the state, but given Mississippi's own history, the state of the U.S. today, and the fact that cops lie every time they say or write anything, I'm betting it's lynchings.

Good news, good headline:
"Son of billionaire Patriots owner Josh Kraft announced Thursday that he is dropping out Boston's mayoral election, in which he was set to battle incumbent Michelle Wu in November."

If you are a sewist, you've probably heard the news already, but just in case: no more printed patterns for us.

And I fear the loss of all the archives for all four brands.

Fuck equity firms and vulture capitalism.

"They erased the new Banksy mural in London. But the stain remains." Adrian and Shane (on Bluesky)

"The stain remains"
