I made a video that I think you’ll find pretty fun. It’s an interview with a very charming and iconic 90 year old man who has more creativity in his pinky finger than I do in my whole body. youtu.be/U-V86EZneCI?si…

This soooo exceeded my expectations and they were already very very high!

My last video at Vox (as a full-timer) is a winding musical interview with Jake Blount.

While I directed the shoot and conducted the interview, many people lead by the brilliant Bridgett Henwood shaped it into an incredible primer on Black folk music.

A few months ago, Estelle Caswell approached me about making a banjo history video for Vox - and it’s finally here!! youtu.be/wrRfOzhM2AE

Some personal news! After 8 rewarding years at Vox, I’m going freelance! My time at Vox shaped me into a multi-hyphenate creative and I'm excited see where my strategy, design, and storytelling DNA takes me. Let's work together. estellecaswell.com

I'd rather go to work on Monday. But we need a fair deal that gives our workers adequate salary minimums, adequate yearly raises, and a 401K match that will help them save for retirement.

If we don't get it, I'm ready to strike.

Vox Media Union Vox Media

The people who make your favorite Vox podcasts are preparing to strike if we don’t get a fair contract by Sunday!

That includes Today, Explained, Unexplainable, Vox Conversations, and more! We love making these shows — and Vox Media loves how much $$$ we make for them!

lots of stuff to be really proud of in here but if our workers lowest on the org chart, a lot of whom are to thank for this stuff we’re so proud of, are worried about making rent, hard to know what the hell’s the point of it all. let’s sign a contract that does right by them

Vox Media projected a $100 million profit in 2022 and went on an acquiring spree for the last two years.

Vox workers making under $95k are asking for the 3.25 percent (< $4,000) raise they gave up so the company could maintain financial stability.

As a top 10 media company, Jim Bankoff should have no difficulty providing a fair contract for Vox Media Union that regards its employees as such.

This is an exciting slate of new content, but it's not what makes Vox Media great. It's the solidarity of all the replies to this tweet, from people in support of Vox Media Union and livable wages for Vox employees, that makes Vox great. We're excellent because we stand together. ❤️

Last year we found a post on r/WhatIsThis asking for help identifying a strange row of circles in the Sahara. We spent the last 7 months trying to figure it out: youtube.com/watch?v=twAP3b…

Spotify now displays this 'About recommendations' section in the menu for all its official and algorithmic playlists

The standout line: 'In some cases, commercial considerations may influence our recommendations'

Strange but really illuminating disclaimer

The Lorde song is giving me Carnival Cruise commercial vibes.
