writer + editor / words in @WIRED, @thebafflermag, @guardian, @thePUPnews / previously Beijing, now back in my home country of Pennsylvania

[Newspaper Guild of Pittsburgh 🗞 @PGHGuild]

On Wednesday at 11 a.m., we’ll bring your message directly to the PG & the bosses who take money to harm Pittsburgh. Maybe we’ll see them in court, maybe not. Regardless, we’ll deliver a reminder of what community solidarity looks like.

Can you join us? https://t.co/UlUr3MOplI

@tyler_tyler_tyl @OSUtheJOURNAL @ohiostatepress congratulations!!

@CoreyAtad @inthefade @pacingmusic Saw Twisters last night + I've been using the term "90s-style blockbuster" to describe it but I'm not entirely sure what I even mean by that. The mediocre pizza idea is a much better/more accurate framework. Obviously I'm honored to somehow also be included here!

[Noelle Mateer @n_mateer]

I wrote about Duolingo's Mexican restaurant, tech industry hubris and the zeitgeisty prestige drama with the hot chef, for @thebafflermag https://t.co/LNWIiq8CzW

“When the paperwork’s done, I hitch a ride to Klak in the bed of a Chevy pickup so rusty I can see the dirt road passing through the holes between my feet.” Read from Jake Maynard’s debut novel, Slime Line.

Author coincidentally my husband

[Noelle Mateer @n_mateer]

Extremely cool Pittsburgh event alert: SLIME LINE is a gorgeous novel about grief, labor and environmental capitalism. Though that makes it sound really serious – it’s also a rip snorter full of hijinks. Launch party will be a banger replete with salmon-themed door prizes. Come!

I wrote about killer whale trainers having an identity crisis for @GuardianUS

Twitter is almost completely bad except for the part where people don't mind if you share a 3,000-word story. That's part's cool

[Noelle Mateer @n_mateer]

logging back on after some months away because I have a story coming out tomorrow, and for all of Twitter's faults, have you ever tried posting a link to an article on Instagram

[The Baffler @thebafflermag]

Cities aren’t alone in branding themselves for tourists and evoking nostalgia for the present with tacky bars. Jake Maynard explores how rural Pennsylvania repackages heritage.

despite this heartbreaking loss I can confirm that pittsburgh is having an absolute banger of a soccer season if anyone would like to join me in my summer 2023 goal of Getting Really Into The Riverhounds

[Guardian sport @guardian_sport]

FC Cincinnati won their US Open Cup quarter-final against Pittsburgh Riverhounds 3-1, but Álvaro Barreal’s corner-volley was the standout moment

[Noelle Mateer @n_mateer]

@LL510Blake @industrydive @AAHOA Thank you for taking the time!

[Noelle Mateer @n_mateer]

@tanishajanae @SpotlightPA They are so lucky to have you! Congrats 🎉

For @restofworld, a story about how users on Xiaohongshu made Düsseldorf an unlikely destination for Chinese food in Europe, and how the quirks of a recommendation algorithm offered a glimpse of diasporic freedom. With @yancongphoto + @carwyn: https://t.co/h1I3gixuXr
