i vividly remember having to explain both the concept of twitter and the concept of justin bieber to my perplexed news editor at the @nypost, c dec ‘08. i never thought in 2022 we’d all be here tweeting our final thoughts like we’re all on the titanic 🎻🫡

to all of my fellow brew crew who were 'one of the affected,' let's chat—i'm more than happy to review your resumes, talk media, offer career advice (this ain't my first media layoff rodeo), and make connections

some brilliant writers and editors now on the market: a thread by the vastly talented @DJBentley
I’m one of those affected. Not how I imagined my second week returning to work after parental leave would go! Some really, really incredible colleagues have also been let go. When I get permission I’ll share their details here.
taking a lead out of the @jappleby playbook and beaming things out to the twitterverse: i’m available for editorial and talent consulting gigs, comms within the mental health and wellness space, and might even dust off my old writer’s pen ✍️

like so many of my incredibly talented coworkers, i was laid off from @MorningBrew this AM. it was a pleasure to hire and work alongside some of the best in the biz. to anyone that’s hiring, snap these folks up, stat!
Morning Brew is laying off 14% of its staff, per an internal email this morning. CEO Austin Rief says the cuts are due to “a lot of fear and uncertainty” in the economy which is spooking advertisers.

this dissent from Justices Breyer, Sotomayor, and Kagan is so deeply depressing. "With sorrow—for this Court, but more, for the many millions of American women who have today lost a fundamental constitutional protection—we dissent."

i have “good” insurance yet owe $1.7k for treating my debilitating migraines and a routine visit to my oncologist to make sure my cancer isn’t back. the “good” insurance keeps me alive, but this insane, for-profit healthcare system will undoubtedly kill me @Cigna @nyulangone

is it covid? is it irritation from chocking wildfire smoke? is anxiety from the stress of moving cross-country in a pandemic? stay tuned to find out!
so i sold some chairs yesterday. when the buyer looked at my venmo pic (a fancy headshot from 2016) he was confused. "is this... you?" he asked, taking in my messy bun, yoga pants, & rumpled tie-dyed hoodie "yes" i said, "but i've had a *major* glow down over the last two yrs"
