There is a vicious lie going around that filling out the FAFSA affects your benefits or tax returns.

It is a LIE.

Please share so this gets around. Too many kids are finding out they won't be able to go to school because their parents won't give up their SSN or tax information.

Share!

My latest piece for @teenvogue.com delves into the horrific story of popular skincare ingredient Retin-A.

Before Retin-A was approved by the FDA in 1971, it had been tested on hundreds of incarcerated Black people in Philadelphia, without their informed consent. The survivors still bear the scars.
The miraculous wrinkle-erasing, acne-fighting cream, is the result of decades of horrifying medical abuse.

Retin-A was developed through tests on incarcerated people.

A reminder to log out of all social media and mail on your electronic devises before traveling internationally. And whatever else the experts recommend to protect your privacy in the event of searches at U.S. ports of entry. For U.S. citizens too.

In occupied France, people would drop their used matches folded into a V, as a secret sign of resistance. People who opposed the Nazis would see them, knew they weren't alone, & felt emboldened to take action.

Some modern day equivalents here--small but powerful actions you can absolutely do:
Thirty lonely but beautiful actions you can take right now which probably won't magically catalyze a mass movement against Trump but that are still wildly important
Why? Because others will see you do them, and it will make it easier for them to take their own (slightly less lonely but equally beautiful) action by your side

Every so often I see this posted:
“hear me out:

- For adults
- At a bar”

& almost every time someone will respond, “Mychal’s been trying to create an Adult Scholastic Book Fair! He wants the funds dedicated to local schools to ensure no kid goes home empty-handed.”
