The support of @pulitzercenter.bsky.social and the freedom and trust afforded by my editors @insideclimatenews.org has allowed me to act as both reporter and photographer for this series. I hope you find the story is moving as I do. I did my best to do it justice!

Some of you may know that in a previous life, I was on track to become professional documentary photographer. Then the pandemic happened. 3/🧵

In particularly proud of the story and very grateful to the people involved for giving me unparalleled access to their lives during a very vulnerable time. Please also take the time to check out the photos in the story. 2/🧵

This first story follows the efforts of the scientists in the @lafirehealth.bsky.social consortium to get answers for the thousands of Angelenos whose homes survived, but remain displaced by the contamination from the fires. 2/🧵

A few weeks ago, had the opportunity to speak with Dr. Arline Geronimus about how climate change is compounding weathering, (how racism accelerates biological aging) for @insideclimatenews.org. Geronimus’ work is essential as Trump policy works to defund research on racial inequality and climate.

Sure thing! Should I just email

I have it backed up and have seeded it! Someone pulled down everything they could crawl as of 1/28 (I believe it was not changed at that point!) I am happy to share it, either via the magnetic link, or another way if you would prefer. I also have it on a 4tb ssd for safety. Just Lmk!

I know most of you are spending time with family, friends, and other loved ones this week, and hopefully taking a much deserved break from the news, but I’m just going to include the link below, in case anyone is in the mood for a bit of not-so-light reading. 4/🧵

I have *complicated* feelings about organized religion overall. But the interviews I did for this piece have been some of my favorite conversations this year.
It is a little sad (sorry, covering climate is pretty grim these days) but also hopeful in an unorthodox way. 3/🧵

I figured everyone would be enjoying time with their families yesterday so I decided to wait to share it until today. I began reporting this assignment with a fair share of trepidation as a vaguely Pagan, culturally Jewish, holiday-only Christian,… 2/🧵
