Oh hey look it's another GoFundMe.

This time, I'm running it for the wonderful @bluberryraine.bsky.social!

They're getting top surgery - we're not sure when yet. But, while OHIP covers it, it doesn't cover contouring & shaping.

That's what this fundraiser is for. Give them a hand here:

A busy first day as your Mayor-elect: early morning interviews, transition announcements and meetings. More to say on all of it tomorrow.

But a highlight was lunch with my Congresswoman @aoc.bsky.social at Laliguras Bistro in Jackson Heights.

thank you for the outpouring of support!

those of us laid off from Teen Vogue yesterday are now sharing our GoFundMe to help us cover our emergency expenses now that we've lost our incomes, as we get back on our feet.

can't even pull out a favorite part til I sign my separation letter lol, just read the whole thing.

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

For any unfamiliar with the quality of journalism at Teen Vogue, it's well known for hard-hitting stories on "politically sensitive" topics including climate.

Then there's CBS: the only major network to increase climate coverage in the last few years. They just axed nearly their whole climate team.
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.

Ask any of your favorite Black women writers from a decade ago why their bylines stopped appearing, and you’ll likely hear the same response: There is no place for us in media. In TV. In publishing or academia. For the majority of us, there’s no place but gone.
thank you for all the support; the statement from our union is now live here with some more reporting.

now that this is public I can confirm that the majority of today’s layoffs were women of color. there are no longer any Black women working at Teen Vogue.

I am significantly more troubled and wounded by the layoffs of my colleagues than my own, in truth, and am struggling with minding my tongue as everything gets sorted out this week

I was laid off from Teen Vogue this week, alongside multiple other phenomenal team members.

At our Summit, I was asked how it felt to be 1 of 2 Black women left and what that meant for representation. Now, there are no Black women at Teen Vogue and that is incredibly painful to think about.

as my fellow Teen Voguers come over here I’ll be sharing their accounts, throw them a follow, offer them work, and we’ll be launching a gofundme/something similar soon!

Thank you so much for the support so far!

I am almost to my first goal of $600 - anything to help me raise the last portion of this would help me for the rest of November.

Also, this is an ongoing fundraiser that would total to $2500 for the winter months. Thank you 🙏

you can turn any labels you don't want off here: bsky.app/profile/mode.... the ones bsky misuses most often against uppity trannies are: "Sensitive", "Extremist", "Intolerance", "Threats", "Rude". highly recommend turning those to off. "Spam" and "Scam" are often misused against fundraising too.

Hey you know what the Actual play space needs? The normalization of peer reviewing shows. Nothing negative. I feel like as creators we consume less and less in our own space. We should change that.

When I was in comics I read other comics, why should it be different now?

Mom has been cleared and she's coming home today. I am eternally grateful for all the support we've gotten. Thank you. Truly.

I will come back in a few days when I can. I'm so sorry for any inconvenience and thank you all again.
Hey everyone!

I am so sorry to ask for help but I'm in a very dire situation since my mom is in the hospital and I'm stuck with the bill.

I don't expect to hit the $1600 goal but literally ANYTHING helps.

Thank you so very much and I'm so sorry.
