The site, in 2011

Tavi Gevinson's online magazine for teenagers, built around a monthly theme, with writing, art, photos and collages, many by its readers.

Gevinson, a fashion blogger, launched it in September 2011 as the heir she wanted to Sassy; Sassy's founding editor Jane Pratt was credited as its 'fairy godmother'. It published four printed yearbooks and closed in November 2018.

In 2011: Launched in September with Gevinson as editor-in-chief, posting three times each weekday.

Modern era, 2009 on. Phones, feeds and cookie banners. The web got fast, flat and very sure about notifications.

Cult Classics: Small, strange and loved to bits by the people who found them.
