Congratulations to the team at @heatmap_news for bringing a fresh approach to climate coverage, the most important story in our world!

We need to be more transparent that journalists usually make ends meet these days by doing non-journalism work. And those who only do journalism work are either independently wealthy or constantly burned out. We need to tell people this before they pursue journalism as a career.

FYI: before it was run into the ground from overuse and consigned to the scrapheap, the very first usage of the word "hipster" that the OED entry acknowledges was in the Afro-American, a black newspaper in Baltimore, in 1932.

Glad to see Thomas Morris Chester, a pioneering Black journalist who covered the Civil War, honored here.

In a solo concurring opinion, Thomas says the court should reconsider rulings that protect contraception, same-sex relationships, and same-sex marriage.

Remembering Curtis Mayfield, born on this day in 1942 in Chicago. Here he is performing “Move On Up” in 1972.

@LaurenGoode Thank you for sharing such a personal decision alongside such beautiful, resonant writing. I won’t look at “suggested for you” content quite the same way again.

[Nicole Perlroth @nicoleperlroth]

What a man. What a life. For those of us who grew up in the Bay, Ferlinghetti was, in many ways, the last holdout. Beautiful obit @jessemckinley

[Lizzy Hazeltine @LizzyHazeltine]

+1000 to @dansinker's point about news product design + empathy

"Being American is the past we step into and how we repair it." Of everything that happened today, I'll be thinking about this line from @TheAmandaGorman the longest.

[Matt Hansen @mtthnsn]

Beautiful, elegiac writing as always from @mariabustillos. Support @brickhousecoop and the good work they are doing for journalism.
