I spent years working on this story about how the law of parties has affected Michael and thousands of others across Texas. Would be so grateful if you could give it a read.
Because of a legal statute called the law of parties, Michael Highfill received a harsher punishment than the woman who fired the fatal shots.
Now, after nearly three decades of incarceration, there’s new hope for his release. texasmonthly.com/true-crime/…
Back for round two of Celtics vs. Mavs!! The bars around Fenway are noticeably quieter than they were Friday night at this time. Could be because it’s a Monday night or that the Sox are currently away in Toronto.

For @BostonGlobe, I spent the afternoon speaking with Celtics fans who arrived at TD Garden hours ahead of game time for the first final against the Dallas Mavericks. Story here!

The story of @drdeepsea's record-breaking 100 days spent underwater received much attention. Now, over a week later, he's still adjusting to life on solid ground. New from me: tampabay.com/news/tampa/2023…
First story from my summer with @MississippiCIR is out- a deep-dive into a 35 year old teacher’s killing by her husband, who has yet to go on trial. Dozens of record requests reveal that this isn’t the first time he’s been accused of abuse. mississippicir.org/news/he-a…
For @CJR, I wrote about the particular brand of issues that family-owned newsrooms face (two in particular). Grateful to @ravisomaiya for being a wonderful and patient editor, and hope you all can give it a read! cjr.org/business_of_news/tur…
My former beat is in such good hands 😭😭😭- I cannot wait to see what @isaacyu_ does this year
Personal news: I’m moving desks! Transportation was such an amazing lens for journalism for me, and I’m excited to now cover faculty & academics this year as a University beat reporter. As a goodbye to @YDNCity, here’s a thread of AMAZING recent transit articles by new reporters:

Woke up to learn that, after spending my summer chronicling the plight of self-represented tenants in Toledo Housing Court, city council just approved a right to counsel bill. Feeling grateful and thankful and in awe that I get to do work that matters. toledoblade.com/local/city/2…
And here’s the initial series that I worked on with the incredible @AmyEVoigt toledoblade.com/local/city/2…
“I am just a walking zombie right now. I feel really beat down by the system.” Part two is out now- toledoblade.com/local/city/2…

In Toledo housing court, almost 80% of landlords have legal representation. That number is just around 2% for tenants. I’ve spent the past two months documenting some of their stories. Read part 1 below: toledoblade.com/local/city/2…
Despite the national eviction moratorium, Toledo housing court has heard eviction cases for months due to a sixth court of appeals ruling. Housing court Judge Joseph Howe just told me that the new eviction moratorium will similarly be disregarded.

Is this my journalistic legacy? Yes. Am I upset by it? Not as much as I should be. Special shout-out to @hbomax for giving me special access to all very bingeable 10 episodes of @fboyisland - honestly had the time of my life writing this.
Two Toledo natives are competing on a new reality show called "FBoy Island" and the quotes are *chef's kiss*
Carter, who described himself and Johnson as "saucy ass people," said that seeing his fellow Toledoan was "dope."

@jordtwitzgerald and I are up bright and early today to preview @cedarpoint’s 150th anniversary and ride one of their newest rides for @toledonews. Stay tuned for more!!
@hey_alma always lets me write about issues I care deeply about, and this piece is one of my most personal. Would love if y’all read :)
Ableism in Jewish institutions, and rituals, is pervasive. The Jewish community must do better, writes @MHahamy bit.ly/3phOS2I
This is a piece that I'd been hoping to write for a long time, and I'm so grateful that so many instructional faculty were willing to trust me with their experiences. YDN, it's been a wild ride. Thankful to have found a place to tell such important stories.
UNIVERSITY | Interviews with instructional faculty at Yale revealed a position that fares better than the national picture — but with much that can be improved.

I never forgot this interview, and I never forgot Rachael. It was an honor to know and to speak with her, even if only briefly. Am absolutely heartbroken and enraged.

I think about Tarique and this project always, but especially today.
"The police officer who discovered him doesn’t remember his laughter: instead, he remembers his silence," Madison Hahamy, 18, wrote of the infant. "He kept putting his tiny hand in the policeman’s much larger one and holding on for dear life."sinceparkland.org/people/tar…

If this is my ydn legacy I am very okay with it.
