You know how half the time, magazines have photos on the inside that we think, "Well, THAT would have been a much cooler cover"? Teen Vogue went ahead and did it. I LOVE how non-traditional this is. It grabs you right away, and it perfectly complements the story, which is, yes, about rage, but also about passion and love and hope and frustration and a desire to make the world better if other people would please just stop being THE WORST. Anyway. It's a tremendous cover.
Phoebe Bridgers seems like a cool person, truly. I enjoyed reading this article, and about the things that fire her up, and finding out that we have a lot of them in common. From her Depp-Heard trial comments to transphobia to her stance on abortion:
Other examples proliferate: covering the Goo Goo Dolls’ “Iris” with Maggie Rogers as a fundraiser for Stacey Abrams’s organization, Fair Fight, in 2020; inviting the Texas Transgender Education Network to share resources at her Texas shows, in a state where teachers and social workers have been deputized to police trans children and their parents; and giving onstage shout-outs to the Mariposa Fund, a New Mexico-based abortion fund that focuses on undocumented people.
“I just think middle-class, upper-class white people are always gonna have access to health care and abortion, whether it's through flying [to another state] or even access to f**king organizations,” Bridgers says. “It's just so much harder for the people that it was already hard for, so I like the organizations that are making life easier for those people.”
Amen, sister.
