Guys, I have such awful news for you today.

0:03.0

You are not going to be seeing any more APST tips,

0:06.0

no more climate justice from LGBTQ writers,

0:09.0

no more black anarchists at Teen Vogue.

0:12.0

And I know that this is just a huge blow for all of you.

0:18.0

Now while we're at it, I'm sure that Team Vogue has also written about huge blows. But anyway, moving on, that is besides the point. I'm sorry that I made that joke. We need to talk about Teen Vogue and what is going on over there. The iconic Young Adult magazine, Teen Vogue, is officially being merged in with Vogue.com in a new restructuring that is happening from Kande Nast. And guys, guess what got cut from the magazine? The politics section. Guys, in a very literal sense, in my opinion, Team Vogue is embodying that meme of the friend that just got too woke. Like, it just is not working anymore. The magazine is not landing. Honestly, it's a bit embarrassing and cringe. Probably bad for business for Vogue and Condé Nass at large and

0:54.8

Condé Nass leadership apparently was not having it. Also, you can see I am still in New York

1:00.9

so I'm still filming in front of the window with a tiny little mic so I'm sorry for the subpar hotel lighting and the maybe tinny microphone,

1:08.8

but we are making it work and we are bringing you content anyway. So I'm filming this on Tuesday and they announced the restructuring yesterday.

1:14.6

And no one really thought anything about it. It didn't really make major news in my orbit until

1:19.6

the fired Teen Vogue writers started tweeting and blue skying, whatever you call that. Anyway,

1:25.6

one of their top politics editors posted this. Lex

1:28.3

McNam-Nam-N-M-Sauri. I'm not even going to try to pronounce this, they them. We'll just see the pronounce they then.

1:34.3

I was laid off from Teen Vogue today along with multiple other staffers, and today is my last day.

1:39.3

Certainly more to come from me when the dust has settled more, but to my knowledge, after today, there will be no

1:44.6

politics staffers at Teen Vogue. Hallelujah, everybody. It is a new day for young women in America.

1:51.0

This is the most amazing, positive thing that could have happened for the next generation. Now,

1:55.2

another writer also posed on Blue Sky and said I was laid off from Teen Vogue this week,

1:59.3

alongside multiple other phenomenal team members. At our summit, I was asked how it felt to be one of two 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. Guys, don't worry. I know that you are concerned about these women and these trying times. Do not worry. They will be setting up a GoFundMe so that we all can contribute. Ladies, it is called a substack. Make a substack. Start writing. No handouts. Pull yourself up by your bootstraps. None of us are donating to your GoFundMe's. Anyway, moving on. All of this is transpiring amidst a major shakeup at Vogue you guys probably saw, but Anna Wintur, the longtime editor of Vogue, she stepped away. She was replaced by a younger millennial woman named Chloe, who apparently has plans for even more of a shakeup. And in a company announcement that Vogue made, it seems like they are committed to tying the Teen Vogue brand back closer to Vogue rather than letting it continue to run rogue as it has been doing since 2017. It has certainly been running rogue and has

2:51.5

certainly gotten out of hand. I mean just listen to some of these article bylines

2:55.1

in the last couple of years. One of them, I mean welcome to anal sex 101. It's about

2:59.7

as clear as you can get. Here's another one. Please talk to your family and friends
