I wrote a thing about trees, Istanbul and sharing a city and the lovely @Pangyrus published it. https://t.co/96Zzg1NIkV

My mother (Margaret) chose my simple name in an effort to avoid these kinds of nicknames which she hates 😂

Margaret -> Meg -> Peg -> Peggy

I do *not* want an AI "summary" of an email, or a book, or a life. I do not want an AI summary of a winter sky, or my father's hands, or the hope in my child's eyes. I do not want an AI summary of the human heart, or the first little shiver of lust, or the long good work of love.

The Nobel Prize committee should announce the World Cup winner tomorrow.

ah yes another beautiful morning, time to decide if I want to be informed and frozen in panic, or willfully ignorant with a numbing background dread

I'm (still) actively looking for new journalism assignments, writing or editing gigs, or other work using my communications skills, ideally to make positive social/cultural/environmental impact. Get in touch about projects that might be a match!

The struggle is real

[Kelly Hevel @KellyHevel]

Hahaha! Same. And also ensuring I have no conflicts of interest when in fact I have no “interests”

[Thanks random man, your opinion is noted. @ScienceHex]

My company keeps pestering me about insider trading rules as if I have any money (or brains) to do any trading.

@zhuphilia People have some weird ideas about dogs and dog breeding. Here people keep wanting to breed them smaller and the poor things start to look like those people who have too much plastic surgery

[Kelly Hevel @KellyHevel]

@zhuphilia There are lots of breed specific rescues you can also look into if you want a dog. Often they are looking for fosters so you can also see how the dog fits into your life before committing.

Turns out I’m not drinking enough coffee!

[Inc. @Inc]

It turns out coffee is great for you -- but not espresso or French press. @MindaZetlin https://t.co/ZkkSHGAC3V

Someone had to do it

The existence of Chicago Pope implies the existence of MLA Pope and APA Pope

[Kelly Hevel @KellyHevel]

@zhuphilia It’s weird to me that so many people (my experience: mostly straight men) are 100% convinced all women are a bit lesbian. No, sir, I will not play queer for your enjoyment 🙄 A sure way to shut them down is to ask if all men are a little queer and their horror is amusing

@dieworkwear @WavyEighty Sir, some respect for ancient Mesopotamia please 😂

[Kelly Hevel @KellyHevel]

@svershbow Ha! I finally watched it during the pandemic. Sad to have lost the shocked faces I got when I used to tell them I hadn’t seen it.

[Kelly Hevel @KellyHevel]

Hey bird twitter! Explain the guy on the left? Seems to be a gray crow. Usually crows in Turkey look like the one landing at right. I think the gray one may be one I saw molting a bit ago at which point it looked like a pigeon/crow cross. Is that possible? #crows #birdlovers

[Kelly Hevel @KellyHevel]

Look. Yes New Yorkers are going to ignore you and mind their own business. Until your bag of crabs breaks.

[evan loves worf @esjesjesj]

It’s hilarious how conservatives are terrified of crime on the NYC subway when this is a much more accurate depiction of what it’s like

[Kelly Hevel @KellyHevel]

@vanessahlarson I was very confused by this but thought maybe it was just me.

Having an early morning coffee and people watching and I have now seen three people strolling around drinking from their ceramic coffee mugs from home.
