Honored to have this interview with @angelocolina at @SoSeaEmerald in Spanish (English too) by @AguedaPachecOH 🙌🏻 southseattleemerald.com/2024/02/22/com…
The hardest part of my job is watching stories fall through the cracks ... it's impossible to cover everything.
A couple of weeks ago we asked what you thought of #Seafair, what you would change about it, and what you’d like its organizers to know. Many South End folks answered; see what they had to say through the link below. @VanStreefkerk reports. southseattleemerald.com/2023/08/03/we-…
🎉The Emerald is turning 9! Join our #BirthdayBash on Aug. 12 at Rainier Arts Center. 🎷Live music from Soulology ft. Grammy winner Medearis “MD” Dixson, Sheila Kay & Friends, and DJ Mr. Nyice Guy! Let’s celebrate our journey together 🥂💚 #TheEmeraldTurns9 #SeattleEvents

A win for me: I went on a long bike ride to an appointment and got this luscious snack from Ben and Esther's. I've been off my bike for about a year due to a knee injury, and I can confirm my natural state is on a bike, talking to myself, stopping for snacks and coffee.
Some of my all-time favs like Siouxsie, X, L7, Amebix, Crass, Patti Smith, Madonna, PJ Harvey, etc. I've seen in recent years when they're 'older,' and I think that's pretty amazing.

Maybe I'm just traumatized by long covid but I'm stunned how many people aren't masking in a packed airport and risking getting super sick during their trip.
I’m super excited to announce Gossip Guy, my brand new weekly newsletter dedicated to covering social movements and accountability journalism in Seattle and beyond. If this sounds like your jam, please consider subscribing for free: gossipguy.net
Anyway freelance life is all assignments due at the same time every month, constantly running behind and saying yes to things I don't want to do. And given how messed up *everything* is + a layoff that shook our household last year, I feel like I can't ever say no or take a break

And today I’m heading to New York to start the next phase of my new role as an editor for BBC Travel. People see the success, not the decades of daily rejections, setbacks, sacrifices and baby victories that remind you you’re on the right path. Never forget how far you’ve come.
Some personal news: I'm so incredibly excited to announce that I have been hired as the first full-time reporter that @UrbanistOrg has ever had. Ready to hit 2024 at full speed.
Honored and excited to receive this grant from the Sitka Foundation! I'll be traveling to north-central British Columbia next year to report on the Gitanyow Huwilp Indigenous protected area for Hakai magazine.

At the Seattle Public Library Capitol Hill Branch for my annual work retreat. Feels a bit odd sometimes for a company of one, but it's important to celebrate successes, look at what could have been done better, and set goals for the new year...
How embarrassing to live in a country where calling for a ceasefire has become a radical act. A ceasefire. This is how far the center has moved to the right. All this country knows is war. The violence never ends.

I worked for Sound Publishing for two years. I wrote seven stories a week for seven newspapers. I made $14.25 an hour. I never received a raise. Pay your journalists a living wage.
Wow! Our petition for living wages has already topped 250 signatures, and we're just getting started. Thank you so much for supporting strong local journalism! If you haven't already, please add your name. Then, tell a friend. ✊ tinyurl.com/5n7w22jd
Some long-time editors need to hear that they can't expect today's journalism to match the quality of journalism from decades past when rates have not kept pace. Your freelancers and staffers are not lazier—they are responding rationally to conditions.
Life update: we welcomed Adler Glenn Oden into the world two weeks ago. A bit earlier than expected. Somehow also right on time. ❤️
