Some personal news! Last week was my last at BuzzFeed News. This week, I’m going full-time w/my newsletter at Substack, where I’ll be writing features, doing interviews & old fashioned blogging & more. You can read about how all of this will work here: annehelen.substack.com/p/some-persona…
I haven't tweeted in *a year* but **we do not have to resign ourselves to this future.** We can, indeed, have an open convention. It seems wild but it is absolutely not, and anyone who doesn't want a Trump presidency should get on board: nytimes.com/2024/02/16/opi…
i love @Rainesford's work (can't wait for her forthcoming book!) and really loved this episode of @annehelen's podcast where she talks w Rainesford about moving towards more generative definitions of ambition, including community and justice. open.spotify.com/episode/7piNuE…
“Is It Too Late To Start Over?” @npratc host @ailsachang talked to @annehelen for @CrookedMedia “Work Appropriate” crooked.com/podcast/is-it-…
I got so much out of this post by @annehelen. cutting through the noise of #QuietQuitting #QuietFiring #LoudHiring jargon open.substack.com/pub/annehelen/…
I had the pleasure of appearing on the Work Appropriate podcast and spending some time with @annehelen to talk about career reselience and chat through a few listener questions. Check it out ⬇️ work-appropriate.simplecast.com/episodes/what-…
I loved this very much
very grateful to @annehelen for publishing our conversation in Culture Study; not at all surprised that it's one of the most wide-ranging and thoughtful interviews I've had the pleasure of participating in since A Living Remedy came out annehelen.substack.com/p/memoir-of-a-…
So many of the professional women I know with even a smidge of financial/career leeway are taking a professional pause for the next few months
"I think contributing, healing, and caring are ambitious. I’ve found there is so much for me to be ambitious about, way beyond the context of accomplishment." annehelen.substack.com/p/this-will-ch…
I know that it's hard to understand things when you haven't experienced them personally and yes it's truly shitty but: the West has been dealing with this, it's been horrible, we all need to take it seriously
The air quality in New York City is horrifying. Quebec is *400 miles* away but you can smell burning wood in every corner of New York as if it's right here in town. The sky is ominous and post-apocalyptic dark yellow-green. It's so intense that it stings your eyes.
This is actually only true if you fall in love with a dude like this, whose career aims will eclipse your own
Hot take: Don’t fall in love from 22-29, there’s to much to lose. Your career will thank you.
