Teen Vogue was one of the only outlets that took young people seriously as political actors and covered how they're organizing, voting, and being impacted by state + national legislation.

It was a launching pad for so many great young journalists

I really love this Vincent Van Gogh quote:

"To do good work one must eat well, be well housed, have one's fling from time to time, smoke one's pipe, and drink one's coffee in peace."

No romanticizing the starving artist. Van Gogh said UBI all the way.

Star Trek The Next Generation scene. We're "on the D" and in the medical unit. There's some various gadgetry and screens in the background and a crew person working on something in the back. Front and center is Worf, Crusher, Picard, and Riker, all in colorful uniforms of blues, golds, and reds. They're standing over and studying a circular bowl of pepto bismol looking pinkish goo. A hand is reaching out of it.
