It took management five months to tell us they’re offering NO increase to our salary floor. Meanwhile, the cost of living in NYC is higher than ever. We deserve livable wages so we can afford to keep making the magazine we love. Please support our fight for a fair contract!

I can’t believe only 4 ppl have signed up for a workshop with *the* Fatimah Asghar?! And all the proceeds go to Palestinian families?? I know that can’t be right…
@asgharthegrouch is leading a creative writing workshop for us! On August 22, 6-8pm EST, come to “Redefining Words: Through Poetry,” where participants will examine commonly used words (particularly relational words like “wife,” “sister,” etc.) and redefine them for ourselves ✨

oh hey I know this poet!
if cleansing be needed for me
to be clean, i cling then to
the grime. the grit of sand
under my nails not interested
in the fire necessary to make
glass.

Hear, hear! And I might say specifically, if intimate, psychologically rich, character-forward stories are your jam, you should really check out THE BEST POSSIBLE EXPERIENCE by @NishanthInjam.

I'm alive bitches! My recent column in @TeenVogue became a terrifying reality last weekend.
I call upon you all to help me push for a N95 mask mandate at @UCSFHospitals
More to say later. Lots fucking more.

ALT A picture of me, an Asian American disabled woman. There is a tracheostomy at my throat connected to a ventilator tube. A white gauze dressing is tucked around the tracheostomy. I am wearing a camouflage jacket. My eyes are swollen after crying uncontrollably for hours and barely able to open. I look miserable.
📣My latest column for @TeenVogue on the latest surge, how high risk people have been abandoned by the Biden administration, & why I won’t be voting this election w/ quotes from @tinu @AngelaMSWinCA & @Christine_ScD

I keep thinking about this poem by @mosababutoha, published in @NewYorker two long weeks ago.
Mosab has been separated from his family and is reportedly in @IDF custody.
We are waiting for his return.
Today, I learned that the poet @mosababutoha has been taken from his family and detained in Gaza. He is reportedly in @IDF custody.
I've had the privilege of editing Mosab for @newyorker. He has a wife and three kids.
I call for his immediate release. newyorker.com/news/essay/the…
