I guess I should also do one of these. Hello new followers

I’m a reporter at NYT. I don’t post very often. I didn’t post much in the other place either. I’ll try to be better about it. But you can bet your ass I’m lurking 👀

Here are some gift links to things I’ve written this year:

A prolonged drought and other factors have muffled the kaleidoscopic blend of reds, oranges and yellows in some areas of New England this fall. As a result, disappointed leaf peepers have been left to wonder what fall will look like in a changing climate.

This one is about the first amateur sumo club in NYC.

When Oscar Dolan realized there were no amateur clubs in the city, he begrudgingly started his own. That was three years ago. Earlier this month, the club held its first tournament.

But this about more than sumo. It’s about community

This one is about a tiny zoo that’s opening in Brooklyn.

Earlier this month I got a preview of The Gecko Gallery NYC where visitors will get a chance to hang with about 150 lizards in a roughly 400-square-foot room. It opens this weekend

This one is about roses, tulips, sustainability, and love (all kinds of it).

I know there’s a lot going on in the world, but there’s also some beauty. Come for the details on the tulip’s quiet war on roses, stay for the absolutely gorgeous photos 🌷

This one is about food, family, modernity and business. It's a love story packaged in a can of vanilla ice cream. It's the tale of a downfall that was decades in the making.

This one is about Yelloh, formerly Schwan's Home Delivery, and how it closed

I stand with my @nytguildtech.bsky.social colleagues as they bargain for their first contract.
It's our 2nd birthday! 🎂We intend to make this our last birthday without a contract. Our contract has the power to make structural improvements that would reduce turnover and ensure we have the resources we need. We're ready to do whatever it takes. ✊
