Believe it or not the photo is the most recent I have of me out in the field during this year's PIT count.

I've got some *professional news* today. Tomorrow is my last day at Salem Reporter. I am so grateful to have been able to tell people's stories in Salem for the last three years.

As a writer, I don't worry about being canceled. I worry about publishing something ignorant, betraying my audience, and accidentally using my platform to perpetuate hurtful ideas and societal structures. I worry about failing to be a responsible and curious author and citizen.

Salem's homelessness crisis means more people are living in RVs - and the city is dealing with more abandoned rigs.

@SapharaHarrell dove into the growing problem of abandoned RV disposal

Fire Department calls up 80% since 2010, mayor said. @SalemReporter

[Saphara Harrell @SapharaHarrell]

At the mayor’s last State of the City address today.

[Saphara Harrell @SapharaHarrell]

Mayor is once again saying homelessness is the biggest concern.
Says everyone needs safe housing.
“We’re going to do everything we can to make it happen. We won’t make it.” @SalemReporter

@editorswindler Did you tell them you've got "boxes full of Mills End documents"

[Saphara Harrell @SapharaHarrell]

@BlairBraverman I was asking how he spelled his last name and went "Braverman, as in Blair Braverman?" not thinking you would be related haha

[Saphara Harrell @SapharaHarrell]

Fun fact: The lead author of this report is @BlairBraverman's dad. https://t.co/bSbdxKSdOJ

@George_Plaven @edercampuzano Wow. I hope you participated in the coffin racing

[Rachel Alexander @rachelwalexande]

For six years, a quiet behind-the-scenes city manager has led Salem through a pandemic, escalating homelessness crisis & more.

@SapharaHarrell sat down with Steve Powers as he prepares to retire at the end of the month
