Kim is the literal best. Some newsroom better grab her quick!
My time with The Washington Post is up. I was laid off with hundreds of folks I am so honored to call my colleagues.
I covered it all at The Post (really), so now I'm looking for my next adventure.

Here's my story of the Challenger from a perspective you've likely heard before, on the disaster's 40th anniversary.
For @slate.com's One Year podcast, I spoke with 3 of the finalists who came just short of winning the competition to become the shuttle's Teacher in Space.

40 years ago today they competed for a spot on the Space Shuttle Challenger. Then they watched it explode.

We're back at the bargaining table today. We’ve made some progress so far, but have plenty of work left to do. Just six weeks left until our contract expires. All we want this holiday season is a fair contract!

For Decoder Ring, I look into "Pink Lady & Jeff," the infamous 1980 NBC variety show flop, dubbed one of the "worst shows in TV history." But it turns out that old narrative is too simplistic, too US-centric, and omits the voices of the Japanese stars of the show—the sensational pop duo Pink Lady.
The Time Japan’s Biggest Pop Stars Crash-Landed on American TV
“Pink Lady and Jeff” tried to carry an international mania over to American airwaves. Instead, it became a punchline.
