we’re so grateful for the strong reaction people are having to Vivian Wilson’s convo w Ella Yurman ❤️‍🔥 @teenvogue.com it feels worth noting that Elon Musk spent a chunk of the day of his daughter’s first cover story tweeting anti-trans propaganda mixed with anti-journalist memes

THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR THIS INCREDIBLE EXPERIENCE AND AMAZING OPPORTUNITY😭😭😭😭

We had to update the number of children Musk has more than once while working on this piece.

Do yourselves a favor, my loves, and read this interview with @thevivllainous.bsky.social in Teen Vogue. A bright, fierce mind laying claim to her own adulthood, her own life, and her place in the world. Did my heart good. It's bangers all the way down, but this bit particularly.

Teen Vogue presents: Introducing Vivian Wilson @thevivllainous.bsky.social In her 2nd-ever interview, the 20-year-old tells @ellayurman.bsky.social about going viral, protecting trans youth, her “pathetic man-child” estranged dad Elon Musk, and more @teenvogue.com www.teenvogue.com/story/vivian...

If you're wondering what he's talking about: www.teenvogue.com/story/false-...

There’s a deadly measles outbreak raging in west Texas, and it’s being fueled, at least in part, by anti-vaccine conspiracy theories. Here’s how the fully debunked and false conspiracy theories about the measles vaccine came to be. ⤵️

SCOTUS agreed to take a case that would overturn bans on conversion therapy, but as @elielcruz.com wrote last year, conversion therapy has been rebranding, finding ways to evade those bans anyway. www.teenvogue.com/story/the-ch...

The website shows a seeker the closest clinics to them, offers information on parental consent laws for minors seeking abortion, and points toward abortion funds that can help pay for care.

In this #OpEd, five former employees of the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau reflect on being fired from the agency as part of massive reductions across the federal workforce.

There's no overarching data, but from what I gathered, Trump's EO banning trans girls from sports likely impacts fewer than 160 high school kids. That's the highest office targeting really only a handful of children. Data here: public.flourish.studio/visualisatio... www.teenvogue.com/story/trumps...

For queer or trans students trying to join Greek life, Black Greek-letter organizations at their HBCU can foster a culture of heteronormative masculinity that makes it, if not unsafe, not in the student’s best interest to be openly queer. Read more from @aiyanaish.bsky.social ⤵️

Last year, the oldest historically Black Greek letter orgs moved to ban trans men from its ranks. Even without bans, @aiyanaish.bsky.social found that LGBTQ students don't feel welcome in some Divine 9 orgs. Some say they face a choice: Come out, or go Greek. www.teenvogue.com/story/hbcu-g...

Since its inception, Teen Vogue’s mission has been to guide young people through every aspect of their lives. In fashion, that means highlighting the impact clothing production has on our planet. The #TheLastStop stories are a start. But here's how we'll hold ourselves accountable moving forward ⤵️

Ever wondered what happens to your used & discarded clothes? They often end up in the Global South, washed up on beaches, in toxic burn piles, & in markets where resellers try their hardest to give them new life.

RFK’s racist blathering harkens back to the yellow fever epidemic in Philadelphia where Black people—told we were immune—were asked to care for the perishing and neglected sick. 10% of free Black Philadelphians died.

Here is something you can do right now

Trump’s EO on care for trans kids uses inaccurate language and recommends policy based on junk science divorced from what top doctors say. It also relies on lies about the prevalence of this kind of care. @leximcmenamin.bsky.social and I broke it down: www.teenvogue.com/story/trumps...

new @teenvogue.com: @brittneymac15.bsky.social digs into the details of Trump's exec order on trans youth healthcare. I checked with an @aclu.org senior attorney on what trans youth and their families should plan for. in short: no changes RN; stay on top of your healthcare; don't comply in advance.

Ok, here's what you need to know about Trump's anti-trans executive order targeting trans youth. Teamed up with @leximcmenamin.bsky.social to explain what it means for trans youth right now, with legal input from @aclu.org attorney @harperseldin.bsky.social www.teenvogue.com/story/trumps...

Because I just got a PR email offering an interview w/ "TikTok's Unapologetic 'Skinny' Queen" offering points like "Why Words Like 'Skinny' Shouldn’t be Taboo," gonna reshare this op-ed. The "skinny queen" isn't the creator mentioned here, but the point stands. www.teenvogue.com/story/liv-sc...

"In every era of U.S. history, queer folks carved out their spaces despite criminalization, discrimination, and violence. We must have faith that we can do it again now." The inimitable @raquelwillis.com's words to trans youth in @teenvogue.bsky.social www.teenvogue.com/story/dear-t...

Teen Vogue has had sharper political coverage and commentary than most of the mainstream media for years now. Love this for them.

This is a great piece. "As deportations ramp up again, we have a choice: We can watch as our neighbors disappear or we can build on these proven strategies to protect the diverse communities we've built together."

“The impact might be, for instance, that a domestic violence survivor will stay in an abusive situation because they’re being forced to choose between their immediate safety and arrest and deportation if they go to a shelter or take their children to a shelter.” @jkutzie.bsky.social @19thnews.org

I had the fortune of interviewing Cecile Richards in 2018. Her words then are especially important right now: "I think that if you’re not making somebody mad you’re not really trying hard enough in terms of really fighting for the things that are important." What a terrible loss.

The LA fires are devastating, and their impact will be far-reaching. Here's how to protect yourself from wildfire smoke www.teenvogue.com/story/how-to...

These teenagers and young men — 95% of whom are Black, Latinx, or Filipino — earn between $2.20 and $4 per hour, plus an additional $1 an hour when they’re actively fighting fires, according to the DJJ. ⤵️

"By 8, I was already on my first diet. I wished and willed my body smaller, desperate to escape the labels society placed on me: disgusting, undisciplined, ugly, a waste of space." High schooler Piper Cooke on being a fat teen today. After all these years, it's still the same. shorturl.at/O19FO

Teen moms are making big money documenting their lives on TikTok. Some say they're "glorifying" teen pregnancy. They say they're breaking stereotypes and providing for their families. @hifortesa.bsky.social's latest for @teenvogue.bsky.social www.teenvogue.com/story/how-th...
