My new piece for the Seattle Times:
“Democratic backsliding is not a cliff. It is a staircase. Each step feels survivable until the floor disappears.”

OPINION | I froze my eggs to buy time for life, love and work, but the decision to wait could be deadly in Donald Trump’s America.

@Whale_Sanctuary hello, I am unable to donate through the website. I have filled out all the relevant info but there is no final “donate” button to push this transaction through. Thank you!

@BarbarianPres Correct. And at least 22 states had laws and amendments that were already primed to be enacted and quickly used to ban abortions in this eventuality.

@NicoleJMFile @united It was truly despicable. Add to that the fact we all paid for on-board WiFi that never worked for the entire back of the place and the staff rudely shrugged us off and told us to just ask for refunds. V. Disappointed @united

The first causality of this horrific situation. I expect the plan to teach these boys— some of whom can’t swim— to spelunk is derailed by the death of this Navy SEAL diver https://t.co/BuTzvCFJWn

A former Thai Navy diver died during the effort to rescue 12 boys and their soccer coach from a cave in northern Thailand https://t.co/ssh7RtEmZo

It is a rare and moving moment when the control room inside the #CNN newsroom falls silent. This was the exact moment one week ago that 5 journalists at the #CapitalGazette violently lost their lives. We honor them.

"I should’ve died in my 20s. I became successful in my 40s. I became a dad in my 50s. I feel like I’ve stolen a car — a really nice car — and I keep looking in the rearview mirror for flashing lights."- Tony

The world has lost one of its finest storytellers today. CNN‘s Anthony Bordain has taken his life at the age of 61. Tony was the best kind of wry. A rule-breaker, a visionary and a true wild heart.

If you or anyone you know if suffering from depression, please seek help

*Bourdain. Urgh. Sorry Tony, but I know even you needed a good copy editor every now and then

Always a good start to the day when the fabulous #CNN glam squad take the reigns

@Lil_Popsicle @naimeiyao Urgh. That made me uncomfortable to read :(

One month ago the students of #SantaFeHighSchool staged a walkout, to protest gun violence. Spurred by the school shooting in Parkland Florida that left 17 dead. They held signs that read "never again".

Yet today, on these same school grounds it *did* happen again.

The most common cause of female infertility – polycystic ovary syndrome – may be caused by a hormonal imbalance before birth. The finding has led to a cure in mice, and a drug trial is set to begin in women later this year. #PCOS
