"There generally isn’t a lot of widespread coverage of Black oyster economies and farmers.”

That's why we had @iamtabari.bsky.social dig into the rich legacy of Black oystermen and women in the U.S., who helped build it into a multibillion-dollar industry today.

The Legacy of Black Oyster Farmers - Offrange
Steeped in a rich history, Black oystermen and women across U.S. coastal regions have been disappearing for decades — a revival may be underway.

“If you believe there are infinite stories to tell about restaurants — as immigration raids threaten the industry, as rising prices put the pinch on almost everyone, and as real estate woes push beloved restaurants to the brink — then you should be deeply sad about what’s happening to Eater.”

I'm officially out of a job--they eliminated mine, and I'm taking severance instead of a wildly different title they offered me that's not at all what I was hired to do. Solidarity forever 🌺, and while I take a breather someone come up with some good ideas of work I could do.

Vox Media Union statement on today's devastating round of layoffs at Eater. We stand with all of our wonderful colleagues. #solidarityforever #unionstrong #1u
Eater layoffs statement 

Today, 15 members of the Vox Media Union working at Eater were notified without warning that their jobs were being eliminated as part of a major restructuring of the 20-year-old brand. This was especially shocking considering that Vox Media CEO Jim Bankoff told Puck’s Dylan Byers just last week that he did not anticipate any impending layoffs at the company. But, of course, we’ve learned that we cannot trust Jim Bankoff’s word when it comes to layoffs. 

This is the second major round of layoffs at Eater this year, following a round earlier this year that decimated Eater’s award-winning cities network. To be abundantly clear: these layoffs are a gut-job, one that eliminates roughly a third of Eater’s union jobs. It is also a cowardly capitulation to the fallacious insistence that generative AI is the future of search and publishing. We are devastated that our colleagues have lost their jobs, and we are deeply worried about the future sustainability of Eater without them. Eater is currently in the midst of celebrating its 20th anniversary, and right now, there is not much to celebrate. 

We will have more information forthcoming about ways to support our laid-off colleagues in the coming days. 

Solidarity forever,

The Vox Media Union Committees

“You can smell the grasshoppers eating your vegetables. No one feels good about that,” Laura Snell @ucanr.bsky.social told ⁦Emma Glassman-Hughes @eg-h.bsky.social of Offrange

Some northern California producers are reporting up to 70% crop loss from grasshoppers. Where is the federal management agency that’s designed to assist with this very problem? My latest for Offrange:

While I was busy negotiating a fair contract for @voxmediaunion.bsky.social last week, I was honored to learn my @civileats.com story about fishing rights won two Indigenous Media awards, including in the best feature category! Thanks to the Indigenous Journalists Association for this recognition 🥲

Extremely proud to have been along for the ride as a member of this bargaining committee. This past week has been the highlight of my short tenure at Vox Media, and an invaluable education in what it looks like to show up for your people and your industry when it matters most. Union strong 🌺

Thank you all SO MUCH for your support. Our incredible Bargaining Committee worked into the night for us and reached a Tentative Agreement at around 5am! 🙏💪🥳🎉

As of now there will be NO STRIKE! Please continue enjoying all our work, knowing you all helped us get here! #unionstrong #voxunion #1u

We have so far been unable to reach a deal with Vox Media that includes fair pay, AI protections, competitive benefits, improved severance and layoff procedures.

Should we not reach a fair contract tonight, our 250-member @VoxMediaUnion.bsky.social has overwhelmingly authorized a strike. ⏰ @vox.com

Thanks for wanting to help! Should we go on strike, the most important thing is not to cross the picket line: don't click on, read, listen to, or watch any Vox Media products for the duration of the strike.

Should we go on strike, we'll have more specific ways to help out, so stay tuned! Thank you!

This is an incredible crew of folks fighting to enshrine crucial protections in their union contract. That contract will be looked to by many other unions and companies as they navigate this world that is so deeply hostile to the journalism and the truth. Give them your support!

It’s been a long day of bargaining with Vox Media, fighting hard to get a fair contract with better salaries, AI protections, the inclusion of the Dodo in our union, and much more. Come tomorrow, there’s only two days left in our contract — Vox Media, stop dragging your feet.

Lots of awful things happening this week, but I'm still rooting for @voxmediaunion.bsky.social to secure a fair contract!

Their win helps establish industry standard practices (basic job protections against AI, higher salary floors, layoff policies, etc.), and ensures a brighter future in media.

8 days left in our contract and we’re still hard at work bargaining to get a fair contract from Vox Media and make sure our union members are taken care of!
