Post-therapy thoughts: consistency and grace are the greatest gifts I can give myself at this season in my life.

For Juneteenth, I spoke with some Black South Floridians about what the holiday means as we see some civil rights protections diminish alongside curtailing of DEI policies.

Happy Juneteenth! I curated a (mostly) exhaustive list of celebrations across the country. Chances are there’s one near you. https://t.co/p3747yiBFg

A new drink by @creaturebeer is helping support the Gullah Geechee people and save the rare sour orange of Sapelo Island. It tastes like an Aperol spritz. @CBSNewsATL

A cool thing I did today: For a story on the return of @McDonalds classic fried apple pie, I chatted with the Tennessee owner-operator whose family created the original recipe. YUM 😋

It took me two(ish) hours to produce, edit and post a 40 sec. vertical video…

It’s not even noon and I’m already looking forward to closing my laptop for the day 🫠

I’m sorry but they gotta put TED TURNER’S CASKET in the middle of Atlanta and stop traffic for like 2 hours. Or at least put his body in the middle of Centennial Park. Or in front of the CNN sign. SOMETHING.

[Atlanta Braves @Braves]

We'll miss you, Ted ❤️

Ted Turner, the billionaire media entrepreneur and philanthropist who launched the 24-hour cable TV news revolution when he founded CNN in 1980, has died. He was 87. https://t.co/CboJPpPBiC

“McClatchy has not acted responsibly or transparently in the rollout of its new ‘content scaling agent.’ Therefore, we are joining colleagues across the McClatchy chain and withholding our bylines on AI-generated stories until we can agree on guardrails for our members.”

[Tanasia Kenney @Tanasia_Kenney]

In any other setting — let’s say, school — putting your name on someone else’s work (a robot’s or otherwise) is unethical and a surefire way to get suspended.

So why are PROFESSIONAL JOURNALISTS expected to be OK with it?

[Tanasia Kenney @Tanasia_Kenney]

What’s been most insulting (to me) is editors/leadership seem committed to making us feel crazy for pushing back & speaking out against our bylines appearing on content we didn’t write.
