@thisisinsider Tell @thisisinsider @NichCarlson @BLPeng @hblodget @jessicaliebman - get back to the table and bargain over your proposed layoffs and our contract NOW. We’ll be there today… will you?

🚨 ALERT: @thisisinsider wants to lay off 60 of us, and based on the info mgmt has given us, half of the Black members of our union are on their proposed list.

@UnwantedGuest3 Hey Dave – I'm a reporter with Insider and looking into this. If you'd be willing to share more about your experience with long Covid, DM me or email me at amichelson [at] gmail [dot] com

@ziibiing Wow, this is so rough — would you be comfortable sharing your story with Insider? DM me if you're interested!

[Insider News @InsiderNews]

Members of Gen Z — those born after 1996 — told Insider they’re “terrified” of a post-Roe world. Today, the Supreme Court has reversed 50 years of constitutionally protected abortion rights.

@conz @SciInsider @JaBogen Any scents in particular for smell training?

[Andrea Michelson @amichelson18]

Calling all long-haulers! If you’ve lost your sense of smell/taste due to COVID-19, what methods have you tried to get it back? I’m working on a story for @SciInsider, so DM me or email me if you’re interested in sharing what worked — or what didn’t 🧐

We've read a lot of important stories about the devastating toll the pandemic has taken on parents. But what does that really *look* like? How have parents' fine lines deepened, hair grayed, eyes dimmed? Brave parents: Pls send before/after photos my way: [email protected].
