📢 📢Some personal news, as they say (a 🧵) ~ I'm in my final days at the @HoustonChron. Words cannot express how much I've learned covering energy and the electric grid, but mostly from working with the team on the business desk. 1/7

WHERE WERE YOU FOR THE NYARA SABALLY GAME?!

[Kyra Buckley @krbuckle]

NY won last night. Women's basketball won last night. And it feels like the @OregonWBB community robbed in 2020 also won last night 💚💛

[Oregon Women’s Basketball @OregonWBB]

Pure joy. Congrats, champs 🏆

[Kyra Buckley @krbuckle]

Good morning, especially to @sabrina_i20 💚💛💚💛

HAPPY WNBA TO PORTLAND DAY TO ALL WHO CELEBRATE 🥳🏀 (I am not covering for @OPB because I have my first case of Covid 😭 - I'm fine, just very tired - but once I'm better I'll definitely be following the economic impact of PDX finally getting a team!) #WNBA #WNBATwitter

[Kyra Buckley @krbuckle]

@SportsShaVonne YAY!!!

[Heather Hogan @theheatherhogan]

The real takeaway of this first week is what reasonable longtime WNBA fans have been saying all along: Caitlin Clark needs a little grace and W vets deserve waaaaay more respect than they’ve been given by people who haven’t actually watched the league.

I got to take a trip to my former workplace @SundanceNatFood for @OPB to learn more about the business structure made famous by @patagonia ☀️ It's one of my favorite stories I've worked on, very excited to share it with the world: https://t.co/hM2nTY0cKS

Lots of talk on diversity in journalism recently. From my perspective: diversity and inclusion brings accuracy, because stories are more fully told. A diverse staff helps accuracy: a basic journalism value. Other benefits are great, but fairness and accuracy are important.

@OPBJess @OPB YAY!!! Welcome!
