National Correspondent, The 74 Million. I think a lot about great journalism, better schools, disrupting inequity, neurodiversity and all things LGBTQ. Tacos & craft cider.

Half my heart moved to Wisconsin, so also secret shopping creameries.
You know what’s great? Walking into the recruiting space at a conference and seeing a journalist from your hometown who bucked a lot of tropes to come out on top held up as the kind of talent that a workplace celebrates. Thank you, @janashortal.bsky.social

Operation Too Many Ghost Peppers. I tried for video because the burbling is mesmerizing. And apparently also impossible to capture.
