Adam Ant's "Prince Charming" from 1981 was and remains the zenith of queer goth pop perfection.

Hey, everyone, vote in your local elections tomorrow. I don’t wanna hear any of that “my vote doesn’t matter” bullshit, because it DEFINITELY doesn’t if you do nothing. Change starts from the ground up, babes. This is how you drive change.

If you were ever wondering what we're up against, this is a website book banners created to train people to get books banned in their own communities.

I found my kids' school in here, and the books this website suggests I get banned from their library.

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

Randolph County Public Library (NC) may see their board of directors removed and replaced. Why? Because they elected to keep CALL ME MAX on shelves after it was challenged.

Potential meeting is TONIGHT.

Randolph County Commissioner confirms effort to 'reorganize' library board of trustees

This comes a few weeks after the trustees voted to keep the book Call Me Max, about a transgender child, in the children’s section after a community member requested it be removed or relocated.

I skim my local obituaries and find that family and friends inject them with humor far more than I expected. It's actually kinda nice. You can read between the lines and see the love there, because they're reflecting the relationship they had.

dissatisfied by the New York Times coverage of Zohran Mamdani?

great news! I talked to the guy Thursday about his campaign’s success at bringing community together beyond this election, and contextualized how it’s potentially shifted youth engagement with politics by simply listening @teenvogue.com

Zohran Mamdani's Establishment-Fighting Campaign Built Community for Young People

“What Mamdani has done is not only inspire and mobilize young people, but he has exposed the establishment and some of their calcified views of participation and inclusion.”

So, all the stories about politics are going to be replaced with pieces about... career development?

As a dedicated pillar on Vogue, Teen Vogue will focus its content on career development, cultural leadership and other issues that matter most to young people, according to the publication.

The USDA sent an email to grocery stores telling them they are prohibited from offering special discounts to customers affected by the SNAP funding lapse.
I'm aware of at least 2 stores that had offered struggling customers a discount, then withdrew it after receiving this email

if you think your food banks are fine, they aren’t. the demand is overwhelming and the supply is dwindling

Robert Reich @rbreich.bsky.social · 3d

Food banks were already struggling to keep with demand. Then, Trump slashed $1 billion from crucial USDA programs supporting them.

Now, thanks to his shutdown, food assistance for millions of Americans is about to try up.

The perfect storm of cruelty.
