    "Good morning my beautiful son" is just a heartbreakingly lovely thing to text at 6:57 am.

    This is the greatest story in every way. Guy finds 140,000 year old skull at work but is embarrassed of his job so hides it in well & tells no one for 85 years. What?! nytimes.com/2021/06/25/sci…

    This was a really personal story for me. Much more personal than I even realized when I started out. I’m new to climate reporting. The facts, if you truly let them in, break your heart and your brain. So how crazy is a person supposed to go? 1/3

    End of year thank you to the people who share their stories with journalists. It takes time, patience, sacrifice, vulnerability, deep belief in public conversation + a leap of faith.

    Last week, Girl Scouts of the USA posthumously bestowed upon Amerie Jo Garza, 10, of Uvalde, Texas, one of the highest honors in Girl Scouting: the Bronze Cross. The Bronze Cross is awarded for saving or attempting to save life at the risk of the Girl Scout’s own life. 1/3

    Hi, happy new year. Let's do the hard work of loving CA and the world, every day, starting now. That means being clear-eyed, brave, creative, adult, and not nihilistic. The real monster is not out in the woods.

    In case you fasting yesterday, here’s a little story about Sam Altman that is really a story about who gets to define reality & how it feels when your concerns/your work/even your experience in your own family is defined as unimportant.
