And with a ton of growth and gratitude, I’m ready to close this chapter by accepting a full time role as Producer for @ICYMI_pod from @Slate. It’s a show I’ve thoroughly enjoyed as a listener, and I couldn’t be more thrilled to join a team of such thoughtful journalists.

As news & rumors trickled out about the cast of HBO’s upcoming HP series, I knew we needed @WeekesPrincess to give us a sense of just who exactly the series is actually for and what the current landscape of the HP online fandom looks like. https://t.co/mxgIZxCP7p

To close out my second week as Producer of ICYMI, I published an episode on that got me behind the mic. https://t.co/zF70p2JKgG

The HP world was a foundational part of my adolescence, from midnight book releases to sharing favorite fanfics with Tumblr friends. When J.K. Rowling began her public descent to anti-trans bigotry, I distanced myself from my beloved childhood series. https://t.co/v1YXMian3y

So if you have any internet culture pitches, please send them my way starting April 21! Until then, I have a celebratory solo Dublin trip to pack for 🇮🇪

It’s been 3 years since I left a stable job at NPR without a plan, but nervous hope that I’ll find something new soon. That soon became 3 years of unexpected freelancing: 3 years of chasing the next gig, 3 years of new opportunities on and off mic, and 3 years of so many tears.

@kristenmeinzer Special thanks to producer @maurafcurrie and senior supervising prod @RunDMR for making sure we sound the best we possibly can each week!

And to my desk of lil guys -- including the howl's mini -- who make work a little less of a grind.

Such a joy to join Dear Prudence for the first time with the delightful and smart @kristenmeinzer! Listen wherever you get your podcasts to hear me proudly brag about my Howl's Moving Castle miniature (and our great advice, ofc). https://t.co/LEU9FffczZ

Well this definitely wasn't on my bingo card for the day.

I had excellent meetings with Senators yesterday. I appreciate their thoughtful feedback - and the incredible support of so many. While the momentum was strong, it is clear that my confirmation was unfairly becoming a distraction to the critical work of the Trump/Vance Transition. There is no time to waste on a needlessly protracted Washington scuffle, thus I'll be withdrawing my name from consideration to serve as Attorney General. Trump's DOJ must be in place and ready on Day 1.

I remain fully committed to see that Donald J. Trump is the most successful President in history. I will forever be honored that President Trump nominated me to lead the Department of Justice and I'm certain he will Save America.

This finale makes me cry every time I watch it! It's up there at The Good Place series finale territory for me.

I'm thrilled we've been getting more Adventure Time the past few years with varied vibes and story pacing and can't wait for more!
