COVER REVEAL! 🌊 A GUIDE TO OPEN WATER LIFESAVING is a spirited, wise, often hilarious, profoundly moving story of one woman's efforts to survive caregiving, trauma, love, and the systems seemingly set up to fail us. Available on Aug 11, 2026. bit.ly/4hAFUJb @fsgbooks

4/4: It is esp crucial to support rural stations, as they often provide communities with their only local news and life-saving weather and emergency alerts (mine are @ncpr and @KASUradio). ruralpublic.org Please, if you're able, help now. adoptastation.org

3/4: It's the model I've tried to live up to ever since. I see lots of quotes of @TimothySnyder's first rule of defeating tyranny ("Don't obey in advance."), fewer of the second ("Defend institutions.") Public media in the United States is an institution worth defending.

1/4: I got my start in public media. I still remember when the Rodney King verdict came down my first year @kzsc. We had a remarkably good public affairs department.

"In the early 20th century, disabled and older people who needed help were relegated to almshouses, which were public institutions of last resort." No matter what I write about, I always end up back at poorhouses.

Excited to see this new film... "Caregivers are on their own--and...spend an average of $7,242 out of pocket each year. According to a recent DoL report, they also miss out on an average of $43,500 in income due to the demands of adult care." npr.org/2025/06/20/nx-…

I'm at the stage of editing this draft where I have to think deeply about things like: Is it Jell-o? Jell-O? JELL-O? #amwriting

Vous connaissiez Virginia Eubanks @PopTechWorks pour son enquête sur les technologies de l'État social américain. On en discute sur @AOC_media, avec l’actualité américaine et un témoignage sur son expérience de proche aidante et sur comment le soin pourrait être réinventé.

As Meta announces the end to professional fact-checking, please -please- accept finally that social media is not a viable way to get factual information. It was a noble experiment. It failed. Traditional journalism, while imperfect, is the way. Please pay a little bit and use it.

Putting together my Political Storytelling syllabus and trying to find an example of a longform journalism story that has particularly excellent pacing. Like, just-can't-put-it-down pacing. Any ideas?
