The number of times I saw non-American flag draped coffins in Afghanistan was not insignificant.

The ignorance some display on X regarding what allies have done for the U.S. is embarrassing.

@allistercanada It was an honour working with you, my friend, sad to hear this news, but excited to see what you do next. I always enjoyed filing with you, and I’ll never forget our discussions during and after Fiona. Cheers and all the best in your future endeavours!

Very sad news.

My deepest sympathies to all of my extremely dedicated and hard working former colleagues affected by this.

The Bear season 3 was worth the watch, definitely the slowest (least exciting) season yet IMO, but still 100x better than most TV nowadays. Highly recommend!

A sad day for journalism in PEI.

I’ll always value my time in the newsroom. Keep up the good work guys!

End of an Era.

The Guardian's staff are all going to work from home by the end of the month.

Our lease is up and, with ownership TBD, no new lease is on the horizon.

We've been pillaging the place for mementos and office gear.

Here's my favorite snag:

So sorry I was slow responding to your email, I was tied up watching this over and over again

25 years ago, I composed the @BBCNews Theme Tune, which is broadcast around the world everyday. From the precise beeps of time to the powerful bass and dramatic drums for the headlines. This how I did it…

@HoodHaikus I would also imagine COVID would have something to do with the drop off in Spring 2020

@mattdagley Honestly I think it's good to see. Dollarama has very cheap dry goods, saved me many times as a broke student.

In a time where many people are struggling to put food on the table, happy to see more places where less fortunate people can afford to eat. 🙂

If you haven’t bought tickets to Charlottetown’s current production of RENT! Then you are doing yourself a disservice.

Incredible show, amazing cast, purely professional and top notch by every standard.

Two thumbs way up!

@DveStewart @PEIGuardian @loganmaclean94 @thinhnguyen4291 Congrats to you all, so well deserved! Best news team around! 💪

[Rafe Wright @wright542]

Giving major props to @PEIGuardian for today’s print edition. Impaired driving is a serious issue in this province that continues to grow, and these stories are all too important to tell. Great work to you all for this very thoughtful, thorough and engaging work!

Happy #International_Womens_Day to all the amazing and inspiring women in my life that I have the pleasure of knowing and working with. You all rock!

Tweeting (X-ing?) for the first time in a while to announce some personal news…

This week I started my new job as the senior communications officer for @ChtownPE

I’m very grateful and excited for this opportunity, thank you to all the supporters!

[Rafe Wright @wright542]

(2/2) I want to thank all my colleagues who supported me and the folks who shared their stories with me over the past year and half. I’m grateful to you all.

I look forward to exploring the next chapter of my writing career. Stay tuned for more content! ❤️

[Rafe Wright @wright542]

(1/2) As some of you may have already heard, last week was my last with @SaltWireNews. I apologize for the late news, I’ve been taking the last week to enjoy the last of summer on P.E.I.
