Snapped this over the weekend during the Historic Blizzard™, really glad to be healthy so I didn’t miss this snowfall!

is life just a series of days where you're tired in the afternoon and wide awake at night, running behind on weekly deadlines, and seeing pants get slim and big and then slim again over the years until you die?

I need everyone to know that on the crochet subreddit the mods made a big post about how they're taking a week off because there was too much fighting/political posts. so there's currently no mods on r/crochet and people are being absolutely insane

Been cooking stuff in the spare time I’ve had recently. Here’s one of them: rene.fm/2025-monthly... When I went through a divorce I started going Outside aimlessly and cataloguing music I encountered in playlists. I’ve kept that habit up, but last year was extra special to me so I made posters.

On Jan. 14, our parent company Ziff Davis laid off 5 of our members, days after our successful CES showing as the CNET Group. This is the third round of layoffs since Ziff acquired CNET in 2024. We’re sick of our members being on the chopping block. Read our full statement below:

One day something will happen — a wedding, a graduation, a job promotion, Jake Paul getting knocked out, Andrew Tate getting knocked out the next day — and you’ll want the right outfit to celebrate. Buy that special outfit now, so you’re ready when that next unexpected moment arrives.

Got the coolest care package from Tim Ryugo over at Kodak today! In love with Kodacolor, can’t wait to make some real cool memories with these rolls 🤠

Today’s pen tool thoughts: it would be so cunty if a queen performed JADE’s Self Saboteur and let the outro go into Lip Service for a separate queen’s number (yes like so on the album) Idk if any drag performers are on Bsky, but if you are.. you’re welcome

FIGHTING BACK AGAINST AI with worker action AND solid contract protections. Last year, ZDCG took action online and in-person to gain AI guardrails. We swarmed Slack, spoke out at the bargaining table, and took to the streets to picket.

Disappointed to see this. 160 union workers are fighting for a fair contract at Individualized Shirts, a US factory that makes high-end men's button-ups. The managers there have rejected the union's request for fair wages and health insurance. The union is asking for support 🧵

Therapy is crazy because what do you mean I’m now able to clock that I’m sinking into an annual depression because my body remembers the things that happened around this time years ago

Being a grown ass adult who has to sternly speak to my parents when they yell at each other wasn’t on my bingo card in life

Alright I fucking wrote about this. It was apparently necessary to vent my rage about this this afternoon, because that took me two hours to get it all out and onto the page.

It’s not ever about the numbers—you can bring insane audience engagement, views, eyeballs to your verticals, shape the conversation in wonderful ways, win awards and on and on And they still will nuke your job and your entire desk in the name of capital consolidation and kissing the fucking ring

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.

i hate that AI has now caused me to question the authenticity of cute animal videos online, which is my primary use of social media. i don't even know if this baby penguin actually wore a beret to go buy a tiny baguette in paris

Saw Frankenstein on 35mm today (NOT the screening with GDT in audience ー I WISH!) Fantastic movie, new fave GDT film and score and a perfect adaptation imo. The intergenerational trauma hit me hard and made me cry way more than I expected. Bravo @realgdt.bsky.social !!!

Just learned about a new genre of novelty t-shirts that were spotted at No Kings protests. The Wine Mom is dead. Long live I’m Aunt Tifa.
