“But we all know why the Spicy Ghost Pepper Donut really exists: because the world is in a state of chaos where few norms remain intact and fewer boundaries sacrosanct. The Spicy Ghost Pepper Donut was, in retrospect, all but inevitable.”

Yup.

@dlboardman You are one of the only reasons I am still on this app. (You and calls to arms like this.)

Trying.

Good luck, Robin.

I’m coaching the student journalists I advise out of using X, due to the state of the platform’s content and leadership.

Coaching myself out of it, too.

Find me at https://t.co/TImARuSMxw — for now.

IDK. When you step away from the social for a sec, life gets less hazy.

@poorerthandead Best question, best tweet.

[Kate Plows @KPlows]

Overheard: young adults having coffee.
A) “Where did you graduate?”
B) <college>
A) “Is that a good school?”
B) “It’s an OK liberal art school.”
A) “What does that even mean?”
B) “Means it’s like more hippy. Like… we had English classes + every type of cereal in the caf.”

WTH?

@buitengebieden Here’s my rescue mutt. 🇺🇸
Thanks for all you do.

[Kate Plows @KPlows]

This fall marked my 11th #NHSJC if you count the times when I went (mostly) solo.

I feel like we got this one (mostly) right. Practice makes perfect.

Proud to coach these teams. 🙏 to @nationalJEA + @NSPA for creating remarkable learning experiences.

To the college marketing major who emailed me 10 questions you need answered “a.s.a.p.” for a profile assignment in your journalism class—

Thank you for giving me a great teaching example of what NOT to do for profiles.

Enjoy this voice memo I am recording in my car.

Lots of people are going to suffer because we created a political culture where no one reads a newspaper.

[Austin Kleon @austinkleon]

I stupidly clicked this NYTimes article and it sent me into a rage — I kept waiting for the reporter to ask the people interviewed what they’d done to make the world a place their children would want to bring children into

[POLITICO @politico]

Most election post-mortems neglect a key factor in how people vote: where they get their news.

Dinnertime illustration, post contest. Hey @FrankLoMonte — is this on point? 😉

[Kate Plows @KPlows]

Absolutely nothing like quizzing (and getting quizzed by) a h.s. student journalist on Bethel v. Fraser and Dean v. Utica in a train station at 9:30 p.m.

Solid #NHSJC24 day one.
Needed this sort of passion + promise.

🧵For the small # of you who might be following the story of the Notre Dame student body’s presidential preference, which started with a poll conducted by the @IrishRoverND back in September, the official student paper @NDSMCObserver just released its poll results…

Y’all. How did I miss that Gwen Walz was a high school journalism adviser?

I cried a little on behalf of all of us who see the same potential described in this excerpt. Good tears.
