Hello again, Twitter! Thanks to some good ol' fashioned procrastination, I forgot to reactivate my account within 30 days. Looks like we're starting with a clean slate! Blessing in disguise? We shall see!

Make it make sense...(you can't).
These are the teams that would be eliminated if the LA Times moves forward with these ill-conceived layoffs: - News desk (they run the digital news operation) - News ops (they oversee newspaper production) - Audio - Listings - Core social - Sports copy desk Again, we ask .. how??

Tomorrow’s @latimes front pages. Brought to you by hard working copy editors, photographers, photo eds, designers, news ops personnel and writers. None of this is possible without all of these people. Standing in solidarity with all those who were laid off today @latguild ✊🏽🦅

Shoutout to all the artist hashtags, especially ones like #portfolioday and #editorial as they really help when on the hunt for illustrators. So many great ones out there just waiting to be found!

Who should be TIME’s Person of the Year? I voted for the women protesters in Iran. They are leading a revolution for basic human rights and their freedom from oppression. Woman. Life. Freedom. #ZanZendegiAzadi #MahsaAmini #IranProtests2022 #TIMEPOY time.com/time-person-of-the-…
Nationwide protests sparked by the death in custody of 22-year-old woman, Mahsa Amini, are being lethally quashed by the Iranian authorities. Take action and call on the international community to set up an investigation mechanism. amnesty.org/en/petition/call…
Just read that they canceled the first day of the When We Were Young festival because of strong winds. Imagine the Vegas strip tonight with a bunch of angsty emos... wow lol An authentic Black Parade 🖤 🖤 #WWWY

Did you cut your hair in solidarity with #IranProtests2022? I’d love to talk to you for a story. DM or email me at [email protected]. #MahsaAmini
I’m looking to speak with folks protesting in the U.S./the Iranian diaspora as part of the #Mahsa_Amini #IranProtests who have cut their hair as their counterparts in #Iran have. If you know anyone who’d be good to talk to (or if that’s you) my email is [email protected]

Does being selected for three “random” security checks on a single trip still count as random? I feel like I should play the lottery!
