Tamil model Nejm wins Vogue India Model of the Year
@keepinitnejm: This is a HUGE win for us small town Tamil girls who from nothing. Winning this award means so much because for me a model isn’t someone who just carries an outfit or a look. A model is an ideal representation of one’s ethnicity and culture.
In August of 2022, I went on one date with someone I’m very good friends with now. I remember him going “why aren’t you a model?” And I laughed at his face saying this is India, women who look like me aren’t ideal for the industry. Because I’ve never seen anyone like me in the mainstream media growing up. Moreover, in the south they only prefer conventionally attractive women. Despite this he went on to pass my number to a friend who’s brand my profile suited. The next thing I know I’m on a flight to Mumbai to do my first ever modelling campaign. Honestly, I just said okay cuz in my head I was getting a free trip to Mumbai and I’ve always been keen on exploring the city. Little did I know this weekend trip would change the course of my career. Mumbai is truly the “City of dreams” cuz dreams you never were allowed to dream, come true here. The butterfly effect after the campaign with my girls @jiakamte & @miheex helped me gain two sisters and a career.
One thing I love to do is give my heart out and put in 10x more effort into the work I do. In this line I knew I had to work on myself, so I became better by not changing a thing about my appearance but just owning the fuck outta it. I let my confidence speak at work by being real and true to myself. And now here I am. Your 2025 “VOGUE MODEL OF THE YEAR”.
Thank you to everyone who’s supported me throughout my journey on here. And a special thanks to those who voted for me. Super grateful for you all. Take this one as a personal win my lovesss. Always dream big and work hard towards it 🥂
wondering what they'll dive into in Season 3.
With everything happening lately (e.g., the PeaceHealth & ApolloMD situation) it’d be great if they also zoomed out and looked at the bigger picture of healthcare corporatisation in the usamerica

My Dad may have officially retired from practicing medicine but he still gets and reads medical journals. He pulled this out of the latest New England Journal of Medicine (January 19, 2023) and mailed it to me, because my son -- his grandson -- is trans, and like a good Jew my Dad worries.
While it is true that "unanswered questions remain," to quote the note from my father he included with the article, honestly, the results seem awfully positive to me. When you put kids with gender dysphoria on the hormones they are asking for, "appearance congruence, positive affect and life satisfaction increase." Also good news, their "depression and anxiety symptoms decreased."
The TLDR of it is that it's still hard to be trans, but hormone therapy helps and should be used when appropriate. Medical science agrees generally, and specifically so does this 2 year long study.
It is simply no longer possible to believe much of the clinical research that is published, or to rely on the judgment of trusted physicians or authoritative medical guidelines. I take no pleasure in this conclusion, which I reached slowly and reluctantly over my two decades as an editor of The New England Journal of Medicine.

WEAR YOUR MASK
The virus that brought normal life to a grinding halt in early 2020 continues to wreak havoc across the world, with the current global death toll closing in on one million. It’s humbling to think that so much devastation can be caused by something so minuscule. Indeed, the SARS-CoV-2 virion particles (pink) shown here in this recently captured electron microscope image are somewhere between 50 and 200 nanometers in diameter. That’s approximately a sixtieth of the length of the hair-like cilia (blue) protruding from the human airway cell on which the particles lie. Each infected airway cell can produce potentially thousands of these virions that can either infect further cells or be expelled from the body via coughs, sneezes, or talking, floating off through the air to infect a new host. If nothing else, this image of our common foe should serve as a reminder to WEAR YOUR MASK.
