And yet I was censored for signing a letter just like this one. protect-journalists.com
Pieces of A Girl, a punk memoir by Stephanie Kuehnert, illustrated by ME, is out 3/26 via @PenguinTeen. We got a starred review on Booklist! ⭐️ "Exposito’s illustrations add weight to Kuehnert’s harrowing but ultimately triumphant and hopeful life story." booklistonline.com/Pieces-of-a-Gi…
What gets me f*cked up is that fact that these "nontraditional media forms" are not new kinds of media! TikTok news anchors literally make our stories their video backgrounds Social media's profit model is using our work and not to paying us for it. It's a rip-off engine.
Mass layoffs at the Los Angeles Times are spurring renewed interest in a California bill that would force Google, Facebook and other large platforms to pay journalists sfchronicle.com/politics/artic…
I’ve been laid off from the LA Times. It’s been my dream publication since J-school. Here’s to bigger things! I’m open to freelance and full-time positions. Reach out at [email protected] For more info on my work, check out my website vargassteven.com
The institution will never love you back.
Joining the chorus to say -- I've been laid off by the LA Times today, along with more than 100 colleagues and the best editors I could've asked for. For 2 years, I got to work my dream job with the kindest journalists around. If you're hiring, I'm at [email protected] 🥲

It's imperative that the CA legislature passes the California Journalism Preservation Act – where tech companies will be forced to pay publishers for sharing news on their platforms. Of course, tech lobbyists are now desperately trying to buy them off. latimes.com/california/sto…
I understand this impulse -- our managers have done everything to mortgage your trust -- but the only people you really hurt by doing this are the staff trying to keep this place afloat through a maelstrom.
anecdotally, my understanding is pretty much every young black reporter at the LA times has received layoff notices.....
I was laid off from @latimes today. No words We’ll see what’s next 🤷🏾♂️
This morning, I received this letter from the Los Angeles congressional delegation expressing deep concern about impending newsroom cuts at the Los Angeles Times. @latguild @MediaGuildWest
Add your name: Demand the L.A. Times Management stop the destruction of local news through mass layoffs newsguild.org/los-angeles-ti…
After just one day of organizing, about 90% of our union walked out today in protest of management's devastating layoffs proposal and multiple unfair labor practices. We are so thankful for the solidarity shown to us during this historic work stoppage. ✊ 📸 @jaylclendenin
I’m walking out today with my @latguild colleagues in the first work stoppage in the 143-year history of the L.A. Times. We’re trying to save our city’s most valuable public trust. This is for a community that has been relying on us for generations. This is for all of L.A.
Extremely proud of the @latguild. The first union-organized work stoppage in the paper’s 142-year history happened today. Out of necessity. Out of survival. Some of the finest journalism in the country comes out of this newsroom. We all must do what we can to protect them.
