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!

“I'm not comfortable supporting any state that has a hierarchy of citizenship on the basis of religion or anything else. I think that, in the way that we have in this country, equality should be enshrined in every country in the world. That's my belief.” - Zohran Mamdani

This sounds like a zookeeper about to get fired

Please sign and tell my bosses to give us a deal!!!!

“I was happy to work with a man I knew was pedophile until he cut my EV credit” is such a hilarious rich person sentiment

More than $30K for trans rights. Can we get a W in the chat

ICYMI, I interviewed the authors of two new, amazing books about queer food www.eater.com/2025/6/3/244...

Tried "dirty martini" cream cheese with a bagel and, like everything named this, it was just olives! Be a man and throw some vodka in there.

Look at one point I was an amateur submitting my writing somewhere and now it's my job and at no point have I used AI. You don't need this.

no more posting about any of those “writing routines of famous writers” unless it’s Edmund White’s

New add to 2025's favorite comics: Simplicity by @mattielubchansky.com An unapologetically trans/genderqueer dystopian future satire. It's an eye-opening balancing act as Lubchansky alternates between erotica, supernatural thriller, and laugh-or-you'll-cry humor. POWERFUL conclusion.

Every time I read Birdsall's recollection of his favorite queer meal I cry www.eater.com/2025/6/3/244...

Happy Pride! I interviewed @johnbirdsall.bsky.social and Erik Piepenburg, authors of of two amazing books on queer food out today, about the queer life of everything from the Automat to Edna Lewis www.eater.com/2025/6/3/244...

Our contract expires in 9 days. We are prepared to strike. Vox Media has made it clear they don't value our labor, let's see what happens to them if they force us to withhold it.

Both of these books sound wonderful.

Kind of amazing to see someone be wrong so many times in just 10 questions.

The following is a statement of support for @voxmediaunion.bsky.social WGAE members at SB Nation and Vox Media from MLBPA, MLSPA, NFLPA, NHLPA, NWSLPA, PHPA, USLPA, & WNBAPA.

Important to remember that Cuomo resigned when a lengthy, detailed report on multiple varied instances of sexual misconduct was issued, and has never addressed several of the most serious charges.

I love to push a button and receive a pellet. A delicious treat for me? Might as well push it again. If it gives me a small electric shock once in a while, well, that's just the cost of doing business

Why would I, as a customer, pay $300 a person for a meal where the chef completely outsourced their creativity? At that level your own imagination is precisely what I'm paying you for, what an L and an insult to admit you can't do it and charge me anyway. www.nytimes.com/2025/06/02/d...

I wrote about how yes there is a death of third places, but also how no one can agree on what that even means www.eater.com/24433384/wha...

Eleven years is the “watch your wife @mattielubchansky.com play a cover set with Ted Leo and Ekko Astral and play with her own band Faith/Void and a whole bunch of other great bands at @liberationwknd.bsky.social” anniversary✌🏼
