As of yesterday, I have decided to resign from my role as a columnist for The Washington Post — a newspaper that I love. In a moment like this, everyone needs to make their own decisions. This is the reasonfor mine. 🧵

Big, esp. for local TV newsrooms that have traditionally relied on non-competes to keep top talent. A win for talent, and more important than ever for news leaders to make their newsrooms a place good people want to work.

From stories about using wind to power cargo ships to about reducing food waste, this week of stories from NPR & member stations on climate solutions gives me hope. Huge thanks to the visionaries, editors and reporters @NPR who made this week possible! npr.org/series/1199537…


I like to edit/ work outside, and lately this rather large 🦎 has been keeping me company, and occasionally freaking me out when this lizard zips between my feet during a zoom call!

"We've got snow twice the size of our Chevy Colorado in an area that last year had very little," said Eric Meyer, an ecologist at Kings Canyon & Sequoia National Parks. "And all of this has to melt and go somewhere." npr.org/2023/05/05/117…

California's epic snowpack is melting. Here's what to expect

The IRA was always meant to go hand-in-hand with new EPA climate rules, and some of the law’s most generous and controversial subsidies are what’s now allowing the agency to crack down on fossil fuels so aggressively. I wrote about it: heatmap.news/politics/infla…


What a great Q&A w/ Gulf States Newsroom leader @priskaneely on collaboration. "I care a lot about people & being an intentional leader," she says. "When people are in a good spot, they can tell great stories;" They have to feel "clear" & "confident." medium.com/centerforcoope…

I listened to @NPR 's @spoggioli1 as a young reporter thinking one day, maybe I could be like her. Sylvia Poggioli's stories have inspired me & helped shape my pub radio journey. Many thanks for all you've done & best wishes in new adventures ahead.

Today is MY last day with ⁦@NPR⁩ after 41 years! I want to thank the most curious, attentive and loyal listeners a reporter could ever hope for and who traveled alongside me on a long, wild ride. Arrivederci!!!

“The reality is we don't have water to waste in California. We need to continue investing in water efficiency to prepare for a hotter, drier future & more intense droughts,” says Heather Cooley, w/ Pacific Institute. More from ⁦@KQEDkqed.org/news/11944710/…

California ended its voluntary statewide target to conserve water by 15%, but experts urged continued vigilance with many water supplies depleted and another drought 'around the corner.'

Today begins the 3-day process of @npr layoffs: 10% of the staff. Such a very sad moment in the organization's proud history. I've been speaking with folks whose names you know well... and many whose names you don't. So much talent will be shown the door: A huge loss for America.


I’ve lived in Phoenix for 4 years & tonight biking along the Rio Salado, I pedaled into an alternate universe….The Rio Salado through Phx is an actual river, flowing bank to bank after last night’s epic rains! Egrets. Herons. Cormorants. Life taking in an ephemeral moment.
