For @us.theguardian.com, I reported on how economic instability, skyrocketing costs of basic needs, and the job market are making it harder for young people to enter adulthood: "It’s never enough."

the last year has been transformative. my life looks radically different now, and so do i. spending a few hours as a rockette forced me to contemplate how i was going to talk about this, and to confront my greatest fear — being seen. www.yahoo.com/entertainmen...
I spent the last year transforming my life. Becoming a Rockette for a day made me confront a fear I couldn't shake.
The Rockettes, known for their athleticism and precision, let me join them for the day. No pressure, right?

VERY fun story from kelsey about a subject that I heretofore did not care about (vroom vroom) bsky.app/profile/kels...
kelsey@kelsaywhat.bsky.social · 9mo agoi spent a glamorous weekend at the las vegas grand prix to investigate why f1 is such a hit with the girlies 🎀🚗🌟🍬 www.yahoo.com/entertainmen...
SO excited for this one. One of the things we say a lot in Vox culture is that pop culture is America's subconscious. So a few months ago, I pitched a question: 25 years into the 21st century, can we use 25 pieces of pop culture to explain where we are? www.vox.com/culture/4226...
The 25 pieces of culture that explain the last 25 years
From Lord of the Rings to the ramen craze to Ozempic, the cultural touchstones that help us understand the 21st century.

They're trying to criminalize dissent. This is important.
The Atlantic@theatlantic.com · last yr.The DOJ charged Representative LaMonica McIver with assault after she visited an immigrant-detention facility. “Interpreting this as anything other than an attempt to punish criticism and intimidate Democrats is difficult,” @dgraham.bsky.social writes.

this one is for all my fellow millennials terrorized by What Not To Wear (by @constancegrady.bsky.social) www.vox.com/culture/4005...
I tried to find my personal style and all I got was this existential crisis
How fashion advice swung from “what not to wear” to “wear what you want.”

can't believe it's 2025 and i'm stressed about tariffs and measles, like am i a character in an american girl book
are we all just googling "can you freeze canola oil" like morons?
I wrote about it. www.laura-bassett.com/p/yea-this-i...
Yea, this is a coup.
Fascist foreign billionaire Elon Musk and his goon squad of young dorks, including a 19-year-old who calls himself "Bigballs," have seized control of the government.

Will Stancil@whstancil.bsky.social · 2y agoIs everyone talking about Elon Musk's coup? No? Guess you need to shout louder, send more tweets, use stronger language, find better ways to draw attention. Use OUTCOME measures.

and then there is this masterful, darkly funny @rebeccajjennings.bsky.social piece on attempting to glow up that says so much about Where We Are now (and as a person who has purchased a lot of those undereye puffy strips on TikTok shop in search of a miracle!!) www.vox.com/culture/3930...

got to edit two of my favorite pieces on Vox dot com in a single week!! first up, @constancegrady.bsky.social on how our fretting about men’s reading habits (it’s me, I’ve fretted) is built on one old and/or faulty stat (and why we remain convinced it's a problem) www.vox.com/culture/3929...
Are men’s reading habits truly a national crisis?
The questionable statistic at the heart of the “men don’t read fiction” discourse.

One of my favorite article genres is "tracking down a zombie stat" and here's a great addition. Have you seen the stat that men are only 20% of the fiction market? @constancegrady.bsky.social tries to track it down: www.vox.com/culture/3929... @vox.com
i hope all of dylan from gbbo’s chef-y dreams come true but even more than that, i hope he stars in the gritty origin story of Jafar
One of the most interesting things about Oz is that while most of the children's fantasy classics of the anglophone world are English, Oz is an American fairyland. That means it becomes a weirdly effective metaphor for American politics. www.vox.com/culture/3885...
Why Wicked’s politics feel so bizarrely timely
America and Oz have always had a lot in common.

Talked to @hifortesa.bsky.social about something that really grinds my gears: sex ed makes us believe you can get pregnant at any point during the month and that it's easy This leads to lower knowledge and empowerment about our bodies, sex, & fertility t.co/UdedrxtI5Q
How Come No One Told Me Getting Pregnant Would Be This Hard?
So many women are navigating the harrowing transition from “if you let a man within 3 feet of you, you will get pregnant” to “on a breezeless night on the third full moon, you have a 2 percent c...
