I spoke to @NPR @Marketplace about the financial burden of protecting oneself from the hazards of COVID
The government has a duty to protect its people
Businesses also have a duty to ensure that their employees have a safe working environment

“That our success wasn’t effectively turned into revenue wasn’t on us.”
This whole thread from the glorious @TracieHunte is full of facts and love for the audio craft that always deserves so much more. In solidarity with everyone let go from WNYC.

What now? La Brega is a co-production of Futuro Studios, and they are actively fundraising to keep our beautiful community of listeners going. ♥️
In the meantime, if you need a host, reporter, producer, editor, or even an idea generation machine, let me know.
P’alante.
I still can’t believe WNYC actually let this brilliant, creative, hard-working human go. Along with so many others. It’s just such an incredible loss for the station and listeners. And so short-sighted.
So, I got laid off from NYPR yesterday.
I did a lot in 14 years: the live radio tightrope w/ @BrianLehrer, the weekly trapeze act of @onthemedia, the duPont-worthy Blindspot: Tulsa Burning…
And innovative La Brega, which opened doors for more projects that move across language.

Wow!
If you’re from Brooklyn and still live here, you can SEE the gentrification.
But to have it laid out in graphs + charts in the Bklyn Borough President’s report is striking.
NYC is the 7th most segregated U.S. city. And it’s gotten worse in Brooklyn.

NWS has issued a Flood Watch for the NYC Metro from tonight through Saturday evening. 1-2” of rain is expected, with locally higher amounts up to 4” possible. Excessive runoff may result in flooding especially in poor drainage or low lying areas.

a whole generation of audio folks are unemployed, and maybe looking at leaving the industry, and yet all around things are looking better.
really hard to feel this disconnect.
Sometimes you need to take a step back:
+2.7 million more people are employed now v. year ago.
Wage growth has cooled: 4.2% y/y now v. 5.1% year ago.
(But inflation also down: 3.7% now vs. 8.2% year ago.)
Almost no one predicted this good news story. #jobs

“It is clear to me that we will have more flood issues like this in the future and the DOE doesn’t have any flood plans in place."
As NYC flooded, Eric Adams ordered schools to shelter in place. No one told principals, via @ChalkbeatNY.

Every day, it feels like, more layoffs in journalism and audio. It’s so depressing.
It's a sad day for local journalism: News 12 lays off 30 in the tri-state area and 8 in New Jersey.

As city officials urged New Yorkers to stay home in pummeling rains, migrants whose 60-days had run out were still forced out of a Bushwick shelter, just the same.
"Give us until the morning. But no...We were here for 2 months, why not one more night?”
