Our highly skilled Pulitzer Prize finalist journalists @statesman are currently making less than what a gas station in Texas is paying its employees. It is time to share the wealth @gannett

@AishaAlMuslim Congratulations! Wishing you wonderful opportunities to bring new ideas and voices to the table. All the best!

@krbuckle @HoustonChron Congratulations Kyra! It's been a pleasure to work with you and you will be missed...lots. Safe travels and a happy landing!

@CloeyCallahan It helps build relationships and can also help amplify your published work through further sharing by the recipient. Some reporters do it, some don't.

Dear friends and family in the US, I have a favor to ask....as many of you know, I am slowly but surely winding down my spice business to make way for all the books I'm writing. I'm down to my very last batch of spicebox kits and there are only about 25 kits left...and we've just discounted them by 40% woohoo!
Please can you help me get these spicebox kits sold/gifted/shipped to beloved foodies (or yourself!) Shipping is free for Prime users and each product helps fund meals for underprivileged children in India. We have already funded over half a million meals! Thanks so much for your support! https://t.co/PNSAhqMJgi

@korinreid I help wash the dishes...especially after enjoying a meal at their home.

Fascinating read! Made me think of our chai, ancient wisdom and the brutality of ignorance.

Deeply honored to share my debut in @NatGeo, edited by @star_lightw. I wrote about the history & health benefits of yerba mate. The ancestral elixir native to the Southern Cone was revered by the Guaraní prior to colonial bans then globalization. https://t.co/8Wey7fk4R6

@davidkwong @NPRmelissablock @stefanfatsis Wait, where do you get the cool score sheets? Also, looks like an awesome game!

I'm an energy reporter for the @HoustonChron covering ERCOT. I've gotten A LOT of emails/texts/dms about today's conservation request (people are not stoked), so here's some things I've learned about Texas electricity that may be helpful.🧵

@JimReynoldsUK Just emailed you an idea. Enjoy the weekend!

[Mizanur Rahman @Mizanur_TX]

This is a really important (though sad) finding in the annual Kinder Houston Area Survey released today: Houston’s optimism at lowest point in decades. @byangelicaperez has the story, her first for @Hou_Landing https://t.co/Lw6Snp4Ctr

@Ni1anj0na I now have additional incentive to survive this semester and keep plugging away at my master's degree - *sailing across the stage in a cap and gown and my favorite sari* is a lovely idea!

[Rashda News @Rashda_News]

@ashisawriter Thank you for this super helpful thread! I am fairly new to the media relations side and will definitely keep your tips in mind.
