[Kaleigh Carroll @KaleighCarrolll]

It’s official, folks! Starting next week, I’m rejoining the @seattletimes copy desk as a multiplatform news desk editor.

Spending the past year as a page designer has been a wonderful experience, but I’m quite excited to return to my editing roots.

I may or may not have been roasted by the newsroom when I proclaimed my favorite candy for this story.

WWU is moving the beloved (and totally innocuous) “man hugging bear” statue to the back of campus, and this is most unified and passionate I’ve ever seen students get.

On a scale of 1-10, how scared should I be of this thing that popped in my neighbors garden?

This is “She’s the Man” erasure, and I simply will not stand for it.

I don’t think Sunset Hill got the smoke-free-zone memo.

An unexpected dose of middle-child encouragement from the BeReal update tonight. As a painfully stereotypical middle child, I approve.

While the wonderful @LaGoSea gets a well-deserved break, I'm honored to be filling in. It feels fantastic to exercise my editing muscles again!

A big thank you to the reporters, editors, designers and others I've gotten to work with these past Sundays, and here's to many more.

[Kaleigh Carroll @KaleighCarrolll]

When's the best time to announce you're temporarily helping edit and coordinate Sunday A1 coverage @seattletimes? Four weeks after you already started doing it, of course.

That's right, I definitely planned to wait this long and didn't just forget to post week after week.

It turns my willpower is paper thin. Say “hello” to my new laptop stand.

@Jeff_Albertson You just became my new favorite coworker.

Unfortunately, I didn’t get Hozier tickets. But on the bright side, Snapchat reminded me that I painted this masterpiece three years ago today.

@AmondoZhou I don’t think I’ll recover from the shame

[Kaleigh Carroll @KaleighCarrolll]

On one hand, I'm deeply excited about this album. On the other hand, it means I'll have to come up with a new Twitter bio.

If you’re still looking for a New Year’s resolution, may I suggest one of the phrases from the fridge magnets in the break room.

[Kaleigh Carroll @KaleighCarrolll]

Me: It can’t be that bad out. I’m going for a walk.

Me after 20 minutes of determined (and probably not dignified) penguin shuffling in the frozen hellscape that Ballard has become later: My hubris has been tested, and I have failed.
