There is an acronym specific to Gaza, coined in the last three weeks. WCNSF: Wounded Child No Surviving Family. A pediatrician with Doctors Without Borders: "The worst humanitarian catastrophe I've experienced." https://t.co/RmXWEUpa2N

Yesterday, I was laid off by @TexasTribune after nearly 9 years.

New leadership got rid of its longest-tenured reporters and said they’ll no longer cover the criminal justice beat.

I was laid off by The Texas Tribune yesterday after more than 10 years there — most spent centering communities of color in my reporting.

This is my last story, which was set to run before I was called in. This is the kind of reporting I was doing: https://t.co/Y0XeeKDIrw

@daytimemooon @WithALittleJazz I def know some (great) profs who spend a lot of their time talking masters students into not pursuing PhDs and I totally get where they’re coming from now (aka, please hit me up if you want to be talked into/out of it, I’m here 4 u either way)

[Amy Zhang @amzhng]

@daytimemooon @WithALittleJazz lmaooo is it sad that I saw this and was like “lol it’s good that she’s warning people” — because she’s lowkey right, you shouldn’t start if you’re not all in because you’ll wind up cynical/jaded at best / jobless at worst 😩

[Amy Zhang @amzhng]

@daytimemooon ❤️❤️❤️ honestly ruined my night lmao I’m not sure how we’re supposed to recover from this one 😭

[Amy Zhang @amzhng]

@daytimemooon ngl I was *literally* about to text this to you
