Dream come true: I moved to London to work on enterprise for Reuters, but I still have Maine. (And I still love music, @niemanstory and @latimes.)

This is so lovely. Thank you, Diana.

What happens when you’re the fire chief of your hometown, Paradise, and you can’t stop it burning to the ground?
“That fucked me up, for lack of a classy word.”
A great story on firefighter trauma by @nedmparker1.

She once showed tourists around Mandalay. Now she's in the jungle with the rebels fighting the Myanmar junta, having her appendix out with a rough knife, while conscious. It hasn't healed.
Stunning reporting by @poppymcp and @Shoon_Naing.

Also: weathered woodgrain and graffitied love and granting of wishes.

The wonder of a Maine covered bridge in autumn.

[kari howard @karihow]

The bridge is a reproduction of the original, which was swept away in a flood.

“At night, in hungry darkness they would listen to the cascading rain. Life was damp.
Until it wasn’t.”
I loved working with @SEisenhammer on this chilling story about the Amazon and what its future means for all of us.

For years, I’ve dreamed of editing a story on fire lookouts and their solitary, soulful life scanning the horizon for puffs of smoke. This absolutely lovely piece by @AlexandraUlmer is better than I ever imagined it could be.

I especially like the canoe juxtaposed against the lace curtains and the “Seventeen” etched in stone above the very formal door.

[kari howard @karihow]

I feel like Maine has followed me to London.
Seen on my street today - discombobulating and comforting at the same time.
(First time seeing a canoe in London in nearly four years here.)

“Goodfellas” meets “1984” (you read that right) in this wonderful interview with Alexsei Navalny from a gulag that’s both utterly sinister and full of dark humor.

This is a drama about life and death and desperation to reach America, but what I love most about it is the redemption story.

Twelve years ago, Tahir Luddin helped me escape from captivity after we were kidnapped by the Taliban. Now I am struggling to get his family out of Kabul. https://t.co/SQI7RjrTi6

An incredible thread from the head of Afghanistan’s central bank, on his last days in Kabul and his narrow escape.

@tristawinnie Yes, it’s hard to imagine a more perfect August afternoon.

[kari howard @karihow]

Ah, the coast of Maine...

[kari howard @karihow]

Another great face on the schooner.

[kari howard @karihow]

Am slightly obsessed with this image of a graceful fellow passenger - the sunglasses, the hat, the pinkie.

[kari howard @karihow]

The massacre and its cover-up haunts her. She can’t stop being scared of a knock on the door. “You’ll leave,” she said, after I thanked her for the interview. “And then they’ll come for me, for a different reason. You understand?”

When Nina was a teen, she got dolled up to meet boys in the town square. Instead, she stumbled onto a rare protest and was shot by Soviet troops. 60 years later, she's still afraid.
An incredible yarn about Putin, Navalny and protest by @polinaivanovva.
