Great question!

It’s not just about whether or not the gyre is widening – its that the falcon cannot hear the Falconer. In today’s blood-dimmed world, it’s a game-changer that many don’t consider.

The kicker? A beast that is rough, slouching, and born.

If Condé Nast Can Illegally Fire Me, No Union Worker Is Safe
The Trump administration is making employers think they can ignore their legal obligations and trample on the rights of workers.

In 2018, Steve Bannon asked Jeffrey Epstein to “get rid” of Steve Mnuchin and Jay Powell.

Epstein declined, before explaining how “my nerds” taught “the geriatrics” that “cyber is a weapon.”

Solidarity with @goodbyealma.bsky.social @jakelahut.writes.news Ben Dewey and Jasper Lo. Union busting is disgusting, and Condé Nast should be ashamed of itself. Marching on the boss is a legally protected activity and if executives are going to cut jobs, they should be ready to answer questions.

I'm one of the four fired employees. I was a writer & producer at Bon Appétit for nearly five years, during which I helped organize our union and sat on our bargaining committee.

I am, to my knowledge, the only trans woman in our union and the only trans woman on editorial who doesn't work at Them
New: Conde Nast fired four employees who were among a group that confronted the company's head of human resources on Wednesday over the decision to fold Teen Vogue into Vogue/recent cuts. Employees who were fired included journalists from the New Yorker, Wired, and Bon Appétit.

conde nast fired the vp of new york newsguild for asking HR questions
More important to me than my identity, I am also the Vice President of the NewsGuild of New York, and targeting me with a blatantly retaliatory termination like this feels like an egregious shot against our union and against media workers as a whole.

please listen to the union’s calls to action when a company does something illegal and retaliatory to its employees instead of just blindly canceling or boycotting the company because someone craving engagement told you to do so

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.

If you’ve rented an apartment recently, you probably paid a range of small fees on top of your rent. When we decided to figure out why for @businessinsider.com we found that it is part of a decades-long plan by the real estate industry to, well, “juice this hog,” and maximize profits.
