Thrilled to learn my cover story for @sierramagazine.bsky.social has won a Covering Climate Now award! Thank you to Julie, Geoff, Jason, and especially to those on the Gulf Coast who spoke with me about their life under LNG's shadow.

Went down a rabbit hole reading about journalism grifter Stephen Glass, and learned that Harper's paid him $13,000 in today's dollars for a single story, and now I'm going to lie down on the ground for a long time

Spooky: nearly 200 FEMA employees send signed letter to Congress today, warning that Trump's changes to FEMA are setting us up for "another national catastrophe like Hurricane Katrina"

You can pre-order my debut novel, HAPPY BAD, out October 14, at the link below!

It's a disaster novel that Publisher's Weekly called "terrifyingly plausible" and I think you'll like it 💫

My latest for Al Jazeera, from the West Bank.

Israeli soldiers beat Khaled and forced him, at gunpoint, to say "I love Israel."

That's because they want to annex his hometown, Sebastia, and turn it into a national park:

Israel is deliberately starving Gaza to death. I don't know how we can be talking about anything else right now

Haven't been talking about this on social media, but just spent 11 days reporting from the West Bank in Palestine. Learned a whole lot real fast. Thank you to the many generous, determined Palestinians who spoke with me, fed me, drove me, opened their homes to me. Reporting coming soon.

Interesting - one of the 10 men who escaped from Orleans jail Friday night was originally convicted by one of these unconstitutional split juries.
