⚠️ URGENT UPDATE AYA ⚠️

„We've reached $500 / $1,870
for Mona's therapy thank you from my heart.

But the center can't hold her place
much longer & every day we wait,
hope fades a little more

Help me hear her say "Mama" again
before it's too late“

A friend of a friend is at risk of losing her home and sadly rehoming her beloved dog due to falling on hard times. Regina was let go recently and hasn’t found stable work yet, and she's lost her mom and other dog recently.

if you can help them stay together, here's a link to their gofundme:

It’s been a pleasure working with Lex and everyone in the politics vertical at Teen Vogue. I’m heartbroken that my column, Disability Visibility, is gone. Teen Vogue was one of the few places that published disabled journalists regularly. I just spent the last 2 months working on my next column
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.

NYC also had the unlimited metrocard which meant - you could pre-pay your transit for the week or month and never think about how much it was going to cost you again (Why I remain an omny hater) and you could SWIPE IN OTHER PEOPLE which reduced fare jumping
When I was a new graduate in the year of our economic catastrophe 2008, I lived in NYC. Which was similarly great because a Metrocard is a damn sight cheaper than a car, gas, and insurance. Public transportation is for class and racial mobility. Which is why Americans are poisoned against it.

A very underdiscussed part of Andrew Cuomo's legacy is that he had to be ordered by a judge to have an ASL interpreter on screen at his Covid briefings.

Nothing screams unhealthy ego like that, on top of other problems.

The poorest people on this list are the Fisher family worth $1.6 billion. Joe Gebbia was part of DOGE and he's the co-founder of Airbnb which the city has basically banned. He does not live in NYC. A huge chunk of this list doesn't.
Everybody gets that Bloomberg is the main reason Cuomo is still afloat, right?

Under Trump, the draconian future of homelessness policy is coming into focus: mass internment. Utah is building a 16-acre site to detain up to 1,300 homeless people inside locked "accountability centers." This is profoundly alarming.

Melissa is approaching the mathematical limit for how strong a hurricane can get on planet Earth. This is absolutely devastating. Please help if you can. The Jamaican embassy in DC and World Central Kitchen are where I donated.
KINGSTON, Jamaica (AP) — Hurricane Melissa makes landfall in Jamaica as a Category 5 storm, the strongest direct hit to the island in 174 years.

Worried today for everyone in Jamaica.

We typically build here with concrete & steel. But Melissa is forecast to be like an F5 tornado hanging out over your country for a couple DAYS, with flooding, storm surge, landslides etc

This is a different beast entirely.

The government of Jamaica has set up a portal for contributing to official relief efforts. I will update this thread if anything analogous opens up for Haiti, Cuba, or the DR
