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?

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.

VERY fun story from kelsey about a subject that I heretofore did not care about (vroom vroom) bsky.app/profile/kels...

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.

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...

They're trying to criminalize dissent. This is important.

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.”

this one is for all my fellow millennials terrorized by What Not To Wear (by @constancegrady.bsky.social) www.vox.com/culture/4005...

My descent into glow-up madness Did a 75-day TikTok challenge make me uglier on the inside?

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...

Are men’s reading habits truly a national crisis? The questionable statistic at the heart of the “men don’t read fiction” discourse.

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...

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

Why Wicked’s politics feel so bizarrely timely America and Oz have always had a lot in common.

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...
