Woke up today to find that my partner was missing & got a note from a “concerned friend” asking me, an “esteemed detective” to meet them in New York to solve the case. There was also an enclosed train ticket. I love a good mystery. My weekend is about to get interesting.

As a Washington Post Guild member, I stand with my colleagues in Opinions who are affected by Bezos’s new policy. Editorial independence is integral to our jobs, and we must be able to work in an environment where we are free to publish without interference.

Section 504 lawsuit update, well-written, takes a look at what is really at stake for people with disabilities. Excellent reporting from @amandamomorris & @wapo washingtonpost.com/wellness/2025/…

Remember in October when @NYMag published its annual Power Issue with members of the “media elite?" Well, @NYMagUnion thought you might want to hear from media workers themselves.

If you're a reporter with #disabilities, chronic health or mental health conditions and need remote work as an accommodation at the #WashingtonPost the Job Accommodation Network @JANatJAN has a lot of great resources: askjan.org/publications/c… #CripTheNews #DisabilityTwitter

Will there be a journalistic brain drain in DC? A talent agent said what I've also heard anecdotally: A lot of reporters are "questioning if they have it in them to report on another Trump cycle."

I've gotten a lot of people asking about the Washington Post endorsement decision and ensuing turmoil. Please don't cancel your subscriptions. It won't impact Bezos - it hurts journalists and makes another round of layoffs more likely. Click below to send a message instead:
