I was also just laid off by Bustle. I've been with BDG in some capacity since 2014.
Even though my position was part-time, it comprised 2/3 of my monthly income. I have no idea what I'm going to do. If you have any tips for jobs/want to assign me work: joyurcaba@gmail.com

I'm really upset by this for so many reasons. I'm still very proud of the work I've done at Bustle. The company built my career. Thank you to @_JennyHollander @celiadarrough @KT_thomps @melaniemignucci & any other editors who hired/worked with me. We did incredible work.
I am a pretty generalist reporter. I specialize in LGBTQ+ rights (trans stuff mostly) and abortion access, but I've covered the sexual violence in prisons, the economy, immigration, health care, and more. ...3/
I'm also a really great researcher (guess this is the time to talk myself up), so even if I haven't covered it I can definitely figure it out.
Book ppl: I can find any obscure fact and study you could possibly need. 4/

to everyone sending supportive messages: thanks y'all, now I'm having a real good cry while coming up with story ideas lol
Sooo, virtual former BDG-ers happy hour like tonight/tomorrow? Any takers?
Other things to add to this thread: I also write about pets (honestly one of my fave non-politics topics), mental health, career stuff, and other lifestyle topics.
I’ll share a few examples of some of my recent and favorite stuff.

I’m obsessed with the Supreme Court. I legitimately have read oral arguments and briefs for fun. I once listened to all of the recordings from when RBG argued in front of SCOTUS. https://www.bustle.com/p/scotus-will-hear-abortion-rights-case-with-major-implications-19301430
