What Megan Thee Stallion is doing right now, what she's being put through by both the courts and the public, is further proof that if you do not perform your suffering in a way that is both convenient and compelling, it will be you who is vilified. fuck the misogynoir and Tory.

In 2019 I left a gig at NYMag I absolutely loved because I could not afford to buy groceries on the pay — you can’t eat passion.
Today, we’re releasing a summary of the results from a pay study we conducted this spring. The main takeaway: There are glaring inequities in our workplace.

Every journalism student in America is taught about how your shitty reporting helped lead this nation into committing unspeakable atrocities for 20 years. We learn the name Judith Miller, “bad journalism”, and “ethical failure” in the same sentence.
Hey Columbia protesters! If you’re so proud of what you’re doing, why are you covering your faces?

getting evicted as a kid, and spending weeks on couches, in my mom's beat-up volvo, wherever we could stay for a few nights – forever altered me. Anyone who makes evictions possible does not deserve to be in office, be held in esteem or be titled.

This is how Cop City will train police. To tase a cuffed student protester repeatedly while he is on the ground and multiple officers kneel on him. The repeated sound of the taser in this video just keeps going. They do it on camera. They do it with our tax dollars.

I don't have it in me to thread my work but this year:
-I wrote 623 stories for Thrillist (with 7 or 8 more on the way), that brought in over 4 million visitors to the site
-Brought Pastacore to life on Eater
-And most importantly I joined my union's labor committee, WGAE forever

So many of us can produce four to six news posts a day and there should be literally no one doing that. So many of us can hop from job to job and beat to beat — but adaptability is maybe preventing some of us from ever truly mastering a beat
