It's a good but unfamiliar experience to be interviewed instead of doing the interviewing. Thanks @Pittsburgh100_ for the chance to talk re: @KidsburghPgh and re: writing for the region's families. https://t.co/5jRQvOI4rp

Today at @KidsburghPgh, what experts want parents to know about teen caffeine consumption and the impact of energy drinks. https://t.co/huNZocbogR

In all seriousness, it's my favorite app. Couldn't live without it. This just seemed kind of entertaining.

Spoke to source re: how civics relates to other K-12 subjects. We can explore anything (art/science/etc) thru civics she said-even “questions around AI are civic questions." Funny or freaky? https://t.co/vBJRITw4wN transcribed that as “questions around AI are stupid questions.”🤨

I'm not surprised this story by @anthonyted has struck a nerve. We're all -- paradoxically -- in this loneliness together. https://t.co/ukDSgWqpMM #mentalhealth

Take a moment for this incredible @AP investigative reporting and to acknowledge the young African men whose lives ended on this boat -- men who left a Mauritanian port in early 2021 dreaming of a better future. https://t.co/Gm6wrGZb96

After tragedy, can journalists and grieving communities coexist? (from @AP’s ⁦@dbauder⁩) https://t.co/tJ4f4947Lg

@anthonyted has called Pittsburgh home even during years living/working in journalism in other cities/countries. Can't imagine anyone better to serve as board president for @PublicSourcePA. https://t.co/uCOh0DhxcA

I feel like my fitbit should give me extra credit if I walk 10,000 steps in high heels.

While furniture-hunting for our super-tiny NYC rental, I became fascinated by Murphy beds. We didn't end up buying one, but I couldn't help writing about the newest versions of this very old piece of furniture for the AP. https://t.co/XIGO3wnfRx

I do not know what I may appear to the world, but to myself I seem to have been only like a boy playing on the seashore, diverting myself in now & then finding a smoother pebble or a prettier shell than ordinary, whilst the great ocean of truth lay all undiscovered before me.🚀

Thanks to @RichCooper68, @janeforbrains and @_RaviRajan for your insightful chats that helped shape this piece.

Today is World Teachers' Day. Sending thanks to all the educators I've had the chance to write about and work alongside, and those who've inspired my own kids. https://t.co/vnMMinPQMt

Really love this. https://t.co/qQqceU20ar

Gen-X'ers, start planning your visit.

The low-slung white bungalow that served a central set piece in the 1983 movie “The Outsiders” is now a museum in Tulsa, Oklahoma, dedicated to preserving the memory of the movie and the book it was based on.
