Last week, the Vox Media Union's layoff relief fund raised almost $12,000 for workers who lost their jobs in yet another round of media layoffs. We're immensely grateful to everyone who's helped out so far. Please donate if you're able and share. gofundme.com/f/vox-media-un…
Today I was laid off from a job I really loved at Vox while on maternity leave 🙃 They let go of a lot of amazing writers. I'm gonna take a beat to hang with my baby, but keep me in your thoughts for tech/data journalism jobs next year.
Adding my name to the list of folks laid off from Vox. The media should really stop doing this, because it does not feel great! Grateful for talented colleagues, and proud of some of the work I've done covering the world. Hope to keep at it, somehow: [email protected]
.@voxdotcom will come to regret letting @j_kirby1 go, one of the most thoughtful and hard-working foreign affairs reporters in the game. No matter. Whichever outlet is smart enough to snap her up early will benefit from her immeasurable knowledge and selfless teamwork. #HireHer.

I got laid off. Proud of the work I did, don't have it in me right now to put a bunch of links to my favorite pieces here. Maybe later. idk. If you're looking for a tech reporter hit me up: [email protected] (also open to non-journalism work bc this industry is brutal)
A statement from the Vox Media Union on today's layoffs
To help blunt the impact of today's layoffs, we're raising money for folks across Vox Media who lost their jobs today. Please donate some cash if you're able, and share this link. gofundme.com/f/vox-media-un…
.@Justinjpearson: ”You cannot ignore the racial dynamic of what happened today, two young black lawmakers get expelled and the one white woman does not. That is a statement in and of itself." vox.com/politics/2023/…
John Fetterman is doing something very few politicians do — normalizing a conversation around #MentalHealth by openly discussing his treatment for #depression. #StopTheStigma #MentalHealthIsHealth (by @LisZhou/@voxdotcom) bit.ly/3KgWHCd
