I haven’t posted here in a while, but I wanted to let people who aren’t on Bluesky know something very exciting: I’m going independent. Spitfire News launches later this month, where I’ll continue to cover internet culture, politics, and media.

Daysia is hands down one of the most talented people I’ve ever worked with. Her expertise is so vital in this cultural era. Hire and commission her!!.

A few weeks ago, I was informed I was being laid off from NBC News. I’d been on bereavement and medical leave, so it was a bit of a shock. After taking some time to reset, I am now open/looking for work both in and outside of journalism. Get in touch at hello@daysiatolentino.com.

@beehiiv There’s a reason I don’t really tweet anymore, and it’s that moving to Bluesky has been much better for reaching an audience, seeing important content, and not being fed propaganda and rage bait. I’ll be writing about it more in my newsletter! See you there!.

You need community. You need support. In order to get them, especially where there was none before, you need to engender them. Don’t look for who you can shut out. Look for who you can let in. Protect yourself, and then protect others.

I’m seeing a massive swell of rage from women and girls in response to the very real threats they’re facing—including threats of violence from men and boys, online and in real life. Remember: solidarity with the weakest among you. You have to help others to help yourself.
