@laurapcasado @InsiderUnion So sorry to hear this, Laura. Wishing you all the best❤️

[Alison Datko @alidatko]

For @thisisinsider I wrote about my first trip to Helen, Georgia, a quirky Bavarian-inspired town in the Blue Ridge Mountains — just a couple hours from where I grew up. Spoiler: I loved it!

I’ve been pitching a story on the de-influencing trend taking over Tik Tok after months of influencers on the app pushing products that actually aren’t that good. Haven’t had any luck so if any editors are interested in this story let me know!

@rcall2122 @thisisinsider @OctavioJones @laurapcasado Thank you, Robert! I'm so glad you enjoyed it and I appreciate you taking the time to reach out and let me know. :)

[Alison Datko @alidatko]

Excited to share that I recently published my first travel piece for @thisisinsider: a six-part guide to visiting Orlando, Florida.

And because it takes a village: Shout-out to the talented @OctavioJones and @laurapcasado for photos and editing! 👏

[Fortesa Latifi @hifortesa]

okay it's almost the end of the year so I'm gonna put it out there: I have a full proposal (and like ~100 pages) of a memoir about chronic illness, ketamine, cancer, and being young and sick soooo hi agents, editors, etc, my DMs are open :-)

not telling anyone if I win the lottery but there will be signs,

[Luke Winkie @luke_winkie]

We do not deserve editors who leave little "Hahaha!" or "Love this!" comments in the doc. Like opening your packed lunch to see that your mom wrote you a tiny note. Thank you for all that you do.

[Alison Datko @alidatko]

the double struggle is that we really *do* want to take a look!

[Claire Landsbaum @landsbaumshell]

Being an editor is just saying “great, I’ll take a look” on loop until you die

[Alison Datko @alidatko]

@itstyfortune @proof_xyz @JustinMezzell @kevinrose Yay, congrats Ty!

every quarter i give my students an extra credit assignment to make a meme about something we covered in class. this quarter i taught US History from approx 1815-1920(ish), and the kids had some spicy takes (thread of memes)
