@svershbow You're a star, Sophie. Will recommend you far and wide.

@ejdickson Wait can you send me this video

[Margaret Wheeler Johnson @mwjohnso]

@ejdickson @romper Now that is high praise, my friend. But mine was sincere. You know I'm not that nice.

[Margaret Wheeler Johnson @mwjohnso]

Speaking of the talent who passed through @romper , @ejdickson ladies and gentlemen. What a thinker, what a writer, what a FEARLESS reporter.

[Margaret Wheeler Johnson @mwjohnso]

@ejdickson @romper HAUNTED.

[Margaret Wheeler Johnson @mwjohnso]

@lilyburana @romper @ejdickson She is exceptional on this beat in particular.

[Margaret Wheeler Johnson @mwjohnso]

@LaComtesseJamie @janetmanley Gerald is a marvel. No one will ever convince me otherwise.

[Margaret Wheeler Johnson @mwjohnso]

I owe an especially big shoutout to @janetmanley for letting me write about Giraffes Can't Dance https://t.co/1ZaETEmrXR

[Margaret Wheeler Johnson @mwjohnso]

@ElizabethAngell @sara Oh definitely. No one will ever surpass it.

[Margaret Wheeler Johnson @mwjohnso]

@sara (Ej and I were big @sara fans because how can you not be.) https://t.co/magKKYJkGw

Or this gem, inspired by @sara ’s famous “What if a Women’s Magazine Editor Edited a BBC Story About Syria?” https://t.co/ZYQLDdka6f

Also, to whoever is lucky enough to work with @aprilhussar and @ElizabethAngell next: I am so jealous, and you are so lucky.

I was too crushed to post about being laid off back in January, and this turn of events is crushing anew. I'll forever be so proud for the work we did @romper and so grateful for this incredible, dear, illuminating, and overall damn fun chapter of my life.

[Margaret Wheeler Johnson @mwjohnso]

@meaghano It's true! And for that little while I'm so grateful.

[Margaret Wheeler Johnson @mwjohnso]

One of the most fun parts of it all was getting to work with so much INCREDIBLE talent. One of the big moments was the news spreading like wildfire across Slack one day: "We got Meaghan O'Connell?!"

[Meaghan O'Connell @meaghano]

So in an, um, effort to create more efficiency across brands, our beloved @romper is going to be operating at a really reduced rate with a limited budget. I'll still be publishing some features and Romper still exists but it's the end of an era. 💔

[Margaret Wheeler Johnson @mwjohnso]

and being the reader and writer and thinker I want to be when I grow up. Never change, @janetmanley

"Incredible, dear, illuminating, overall damn fun." @aprilhussar really sums it up.

[Margaret Wheeler Johnson @mwjohnso]

@aprilhussar One of the greatest compliments of MY life was you saying yes!

[Margaret Wheeler Johnson @mwjohnso]

Just want to say how much I loved @Romper and what an honor it was to build and work on it. Big love to the editors and writers who grew it with us and those who took it to new heights (and a National Magazine Award) under @ElizabethAngell. We grew up together.
