NEW from me & @davidfolkenflik: Chevron since 2009 has been building a network of news seeming sites from Ecuador to Richmond, CA to, most recently, the Permian Basin. npr.org/2024/03/28/123…
Highly recommend @sarahmccammon ’s book The Exvangelicals – compelling memoir about growing up in white evangelical world & effects of corporal punishment, purity culture, fear of damnation..also insightful reporting on politicization of the church and change among evangelicals…
After Emily Johnson’s only child, KJ, was killed in a shooting, she was thrust into a gang feud she had nothing to do with. Then, at the lowest point in her life, she was handed a gift she still doesn’t fully understand: a second chance at motherhood. inquirer.com/news/inq2/west…
Remarkable story by @EllieRushing about the 12-year old killed & left in a dumpster in Philadelphia. Worth reading to the end. tinyurl.com/yck7t553

I witnessed a crime last night. Went to see the amazing Baltimore Orioles, leading the American League East with a bargain basement payroll, and saw Camden Yards with all these empty seats
Highly recommend @laurameckler 's new book Dream Town about Shaker Heights, Ohio and its experience with racial integration, in both neighborhoods and schools. Told through compelling personal stories. You can get a taste from our interview on @nprfreshair tinyurl.com/23t9zsmx
5 days left in Philly mayoral primary. For insight, I recommend these fine journalist interviews with the candidates – WHYY’s Studio 2 bit.ly/3MvCmtX and KYW’s Pat Loeb - bit.ly/41uE3Mq
Help! - 10 months of email disappeared from my Yahoo mail inbox (not in trash, other folders) - no help from Yahoo so far - any suggestions?
This is great, Ellie. I’ve had the same experience…it really jars the critic who assumes you’re a smug, remote unapproachable intellectual when you respond respectfully

I'm not presuming an outcome, but The Philly Ethics Board @PhillyEthicsBd deserves a lot of credit for brining this case, and doing it BEFORE the election. tinyurl.com/pb7m3yvk

Once I started listening to the podcast An Inconceivable Truth from my friend @mattkatz00 I had to binge. Extraordinary work. Matt balances a gripping mystery, health and science story, and personal memoir with integrity and heart. podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/inc…
Thank you, @sarahmccammon, for writing such an excellent book that draws on your evangelical upbringing and on the experiences of others. It’s a window into a big part of America. Also reminds me of the great variety of experiences that my colleagues bring to their work at NPR.
Over the last four weeks, my inboxes and DMs and replies have been filled with messages from people who’ve wrestled mightily with their faith and are feeling seen by ‘The Exvangelicals.’ This means so much to me.
Headline of the day: Car salesman Gary Barbera was accused of being ageist. ‘Boy, I guess,’ says jury. inquirer.com/jobs/labor/gar…
One night, when you're in DC, rent an e-bike or scooter and ride up and down the National Mall from the Capitol to the Washington Monument. You won't regret it.
We had a fancy Photo Booth at our birthday party! Love the pictures they took!
Last week I had the opportunity to share some of my reporting for @FloodlightNews at the annual @sejorg conference. After years working remotely, it's so refreshing to remember that the climate beat is filled with dogged, intelligent and FUN reporters who deeply care.
A few weeks ago, @rw_briggs and I wrote about how Pennsylvania barely regulates private security, and lets people whose gun licenses were revoked be certified as armed guards inquirer.com/crime/private-…
A mystery, a question and a Google Doc called “Daddy Issues" - I am obsessed with my dear friend @mattkatz00's new podcast and you will be too. Download "Inconceivable Truth" asap!! inquirer.com/identity/matt-…
I have a big event tonight and for no apparent reason - the left side of my jaw is suddenly swollen and hurts. No tooth ache. Just a lump. I look like half Brando in The Godfather!! Please offer your medical advice on this trusted platform!

Hi Anne. Maybe you're talking about mine? us.macmillan.com/books/97812502… Regardless, I hope you'll read it (all) with an open heart, and tell me if you believe it's disrespectful or incurious. Curiosity about and respect for my traditions made it impossible for me not to rethink them.
The thing that drives me most crazy about every exvangelical book I’ve had to read is how disrespectful of parents the writer generally is and how incurious about theology and the past. No functional culture would countenance this sort of incurious disrespect.
daycare closed for easter weekend.. had surgery so not supposed to lift my toddler.. still working today.. need my prayer family to pray for me🙏
Since we’re apparently on the topic, I’m in an age gap marriage, but he uses the flexibility and stability he’s achieved at this stage to support my career goals: cooking, errands, home repair, anything to free me to accept professional opportunities. And he’s always my friend.💗

A job update: Starting April 1, I will be @billy_penn’s trending news reporter. Every story I’ve done with BP since joining @WHYYNews has been an incredible experience. I can’t wait to report on Philly on a more consistent basis. More info coming soon.
Some exciting news… #theexvangelicals #nytimesbestseller #books Thanks so much to everyone who has helped give this book life and offered support!

I’ll never forget the absolute exhilaration of being about 19 and stepping off the train in Chicago into the sunlight the first time I not only flew alone, but also arranged my own transportation to/from the airport to my destination. Felt like I could do anything.
