Welp, just six weeks short of my five-year anniversary at
@Refinery29
, I've been laid off by Vice. I am so proud of the work I did there and so lucky to have worked with some of the greatest people. Open to work: hannahfrimm

I've spent months working on this story and have a lot of things to say about but most importantly thank you to the
@OnlyFans
creators that shared their stories with me
A year ago I was a cow milk-loving, pumpkin spice denier and then I joined the lifestyle team at
@Refinery29
and now I’m fully drinking an iced pumpkin spice oat milk latte and living every damn sip. (Also obvs it’s from dunkin’ I’m a Bostonian.)
It’s a wild ride managing the
@Refinery29
Money Diaries comment section, but the way it’s helped evolve the series as a whole will always be such a pride point for me. Loved talking to
@kathrynfiona
about our special little corner of the internet.
If you read one thing today, it should be this incredible investigation by
@MollLongman
- come for the Delta-8 gummy review, stay for the way she responded when called a bitch by a Delta-8 company owner. It is NEXT level.
If you were laid off by or walked out of Twitter recently and would be interested in writing an anon Money Diary, please PLEASE dm me. Truly nothing else in the world I'd rather spend my budget on.
My pride and joy! My first package! Someone hacked my Twitter and deleted all my tweets about this package but let me tell you it's great and there are all new stories out now!
Happy Pride! We're kicking off June with Queerness Is... our ode to queer joy. Queerness IS joy. It's a TikTok bio. It’s cuffed jeans. It’s a lighting scheme. Queerness is no one thing. Queerness is a fact. Queerness just IS. Queerness is everything. 🌈✨
I have a lot of emotions about this story, but let me just say - nothing feels so right as my
@Refinery29
queer feature debut as this story about
@harto
, queerness, and hosting. Thanks for sharing your wisdom and your name, Hannah!
When Fortesa tweeted that she wanted to write about her ketamine experience, I jumped at the opportunity — and I'm so glad I did. This is the most beautifully written heartwrenching story and it makes me cry every time. Thank you
@fortesalatifi
for giving us this gift.
I wrote about ketamine, brain injuries, depression, and doing drugs while holding my mom's hand –
a look into my brain (and silly little heart)

If you know me at all, you know I'm in love with a rabbit named Lisa who lives in my parents' backyard — here's a little love letter I wrote to the wild bunny that got me through quarantine.
So today is my last day at
@Refinery29
, and I'm heartbroken. I'm so thankful to my brilliant team,
@R29Union
, and everyone who let me write about the insane world of pop culture and so many of the things I love. Open to all opportunities.
Well... I honestly don't know what to say at the moment, but after 5 years, I have been laid off from
@Refinery29
. I'm gutted. The work I've been able to do, particularly in the last year, has meant everything to me and I adore my team so incredibly much.
@R29Union
FOREVER
Naya Rivera was the first queer character I saw on tv that felt like me. Before I came out I went to a weekly Glee watching party and felt so drawn to her - and all these years later I’m so grateful for the gift she gave me.
can't stop thinking about how Naya Rivera brought us a queer female character on mainstream tv in a time when that was v rare. she helped so many women accept themselves, saved countless lives, and then spent her last mins saving her son's life too. rip naya you did so much good.
My fiancée is 29-years-old and learned just now that big dusty cobwebs are just old spiderwebs. She literally said “I don’t know, I thought cobs were something that made webs too?”
Testing and voting for

I'm looking to speak with OnlyFans creators for a finance-specific story for Refinery29 — if this is you, my DMs are open (or email me - hannah.rimm

Okay I’m watching The Bold Type for the first time and I have a lot of feelings as a person in the industry, but my biggest gripe so far is that the social media director writes her tweets in real time????? She doesn’t schedule them??? Please get tweetdeck for your sanity!!!!!!!
This
#MoneyDiaries
is very important mostly because Australia, but also because the diarist and her boyfriend split birth control costs — this is REAL FEMINISM.
The third installment of our ketamine series with
@fortesalatifi
is live and I'm just so in awe of this writing. Thank you, Fortesa, for sharing your gift ❤️
Guess who's in SAG-AFTRA baby! Here for the worker protection, excellent health insurance, and obvs the screeners. But for serious - joining this union has been a lifelong dream and though I'm entering it in a very different way than originally anticipated, I am so damn grateful.
Cliff notes: we're paying diarists!!!!!!! We're moving to three days a week so we can pay diarists. We're erasing millennials from our language and encouraging anyone over 18 to submit. We refreshed the submission form & some other stuff so click above plz <3
It's happening y'all — I'm looking for diarists that are men! If that's you, slide into my DMs or email me at moneydiary
@refinery29
.com and tell me a bit about you.
After almost 6 years, today is my last day at Refinery29. It’s been an honor to work with so many amazing and talented women — know that I’m always rooting for you! As for what’s next, I’m open to any and all opportunities.

YALL we're casting a Money Diaries video project and we want you to be part of it! If you're interested in getting some financial help in a v cool way, fill out this form! I'm so excited!
Just panicked because of the 750 words I have to write next week along with a million other end of year to-dos and then I opened my computer and found out past me is a champ and already wrote 500 of those words wow I love past me.
folks…WE WON!! i am beyond thrilled and heartened that
@WGAEast
members overwhelmingly showed up for each other and our future comrades 😭 ORGANIZING WORKS! SOLIDARITY FOREVER!! ❤️❤️❤️ this is only the beginning 😈
I had the absolute pleasure of directing
@ALISTROKER
in an episode of
@queerkidstuff
and let me tell you if anyone deserves every ounce of recognition it’s this incredible human. Congrats Ali!!!!
Amending this for transparency — rates more likely to start at $300+ for short non-reported essays, obviously goes up from there depending on reporting
To quote a meeting I had, I'm an "eliminated position" today. I'm heartbroken and shocked, but I'll always be proud of the work I've done over the last four and half years as R29's (senior) TV critic. Open to any and all opportunities going forward ❤️
It never gets old seeing the world fall in love with
@BeanieFeldstein
and it's especially exciting to see my workplace fall the hardest. If you don't love Beans yet, you will yall, you will.
This diary, though deeply triggering to those of us who have spent time in the ICU/around ventilators (so TW!!), is so incredibly important. Thank you thank you to this diarist for sharing her experience - please read this and also wear a mask.
I wrote about
@broadcity
and Jews in Florida for
@TheCut
and I just really stand by the paradox of humidity curls being my favorite thing and seeing guns on sale at Kmart being my least favorite thing.
Leah changed my life. She gave me so much (including but not limited to a very important relationship with Mona). She's the smartest person I've ever met and I want to be her when I grow up. Hire her.
If you spend money on one thing today it should be Ella's patreon. I very rarely talk publicly about being a survivor, but let me tell you, this story makes me feel less alone. Also her writing is so devourable, I could read it all day.
"One of them said, 'Dude this smells like pencils! This smells like Ticonderoga!' and then proceeded to ask for a second round... so take that for whatever it is." - needless to say, this was very fun to write
It’s been over 100 years since she died, but Emily Roebling, the woman who oversaw the construction of the Brooklyn Bridge, finally has a street named after her.
Hey Money Diaries people — I'll be hanging out in the comments this morning so come through! Highly recommend today's diary
