📢Texas neighbors, we need your help. House Bill 900—which we are urgently opposed to—is in committee in the TX Senate.

#HB900 would negatively affect the business of local bookstores like us—and the local economy.

Please join us in contacting lawmakers: https://t.co/k2eYPXkEqb

Nine years. hard to believe that it was on this date in 2013 that the Giant Rubber Duck arrived in #Pittsburgh, and there was just this air of happiness around the city for the entirety of its visit. It was only by the bridges for one night, and I'm so glad I went to capture it.

Every time I see one of these police brutality videos I think about all the brutality behind bars that we will never know - or never prove - because there isn’t cell phone footage.

My uncle, Daniel, died of AIDS in 1984, three years before I was born. A few years ago, I was blessed to meet Nick, a close friend of his who still lives in SF. He had a wall of 8x10 photos of deceased friends in his home and he gave me the ones he had of Dan in a neat folder.

Whenever I see someone ask if we’re expected to continue masking in healthcare settings forever, I immediately think of Semmelweis. The man who discovered that HCWs’ dirty hands were causing fever and death in patients.

A story that's not getting enough national attention: Here in the Myrtle Beach, S.C. area for the past 13 years, the FBI and local law enforcement officials left the impression that a white girl on vacation was abducted by a 16-year-old black dude who did evil things to her. 1/

Thought I was done covering the pandemic, but then Omicron arrived and @nytimes called. So I found a restaurant and embedded—and promptly got COVID. Three months later, my first solo double byline: a 1700-word, 30-picture interactive in the paper of record https://t.co/9CNynMYVPp

Does anyone have advice on how to handle when your 7-year old is up after 9PM and won't go to bed because they're too busy looking up & writing down different types of quarks? #AskingForAFriend

Hi, person with diagnosed PTSD here who survived last year's Texas freeze. I see that the mental health disorder I suffer is trending in my state, so I wanted to list some of the ways the freeze affected and triggered me as well as its continued impact. Thread:

1/Welp, I spent last night continuing my research into the #blizzard2022 #hoax.

Thankfully, @Twitter and Facebook have helpful algorithms that pointed me in the direction of *real* experts who helped me round out my thinking.

1/🧵 Beauty in simplicity

For too long in life, I thought success was about climbing in the 🌎’s eyes…higher, better, farther. My physician wife & I are “new parents” to my 58 y/o brother w #DownSyndrome & he’s giving me all kinds of new understanding of what matters.
