@HankThomasDC Portions of these penn ave bike lanes have been closed over the past couple of weeks as they finished them up, so I think folks just haven’t habituated to them yet!

It's so hard to move away from alarmism & calls for sacrifice in #climatecrisis comms. @RebeccaSolnit shows how!

It really is wild that we all just live w/ a constant vague shame about ourselves. It could be different! What a thing to look forward to!

I wrote a story about a teenager who's overwhelmed, among other things, and it's published in @OxMagMiami! https://t.co/w4A1yunrg5

@LisaHilburn @nytimes thank you so much! I appreciate that!

[Katy Gathright @katygathright]

Writing this meant a lot to me, and seeing it in the @nytimes is surreal. I think I get my gumption from my mom.

The rush I’m experiencing

[jenny gathright @jennygathright]

people talk about young people's social lives as an issue for COVID spread (+ that's borne out by data) but I'd also just like to talk about my grandmother, who turns 93 next month and routinely schedules multiple houseguests/hangouts a day

[Katy Gathright @katygathright]

I wish the @washingtonpost & other media outlets would put more thought into how they package digital stories. Why choose to feature a woman grimacing in pain as the placeholder image for a video about vaccines? When low vaccine adoption is the #1 reason covid is still a threat?

[Katy Gathright @katygathright]

Check out @AccessYouthDC and their incredible work to keep at-risk youth in school. It was an honor to come together with over 100 #DMV area women to make this grant possible. #education #nonprofit
