pre-writing a devastating obituary for your enemy is god-tier hating of a kind you don’t often see anymore. renaissance haterism. beautiful stuff.
A Sharon Begley byline, almost 5 years after her death.
Upon hearing the news James Watson had died, a STAT reporter said in our Slack, "I wish I could read what Sharon would have written."
Incredible news: Sharon in fact did pre-write a Watson obit. And it is masterful and excoriating.

Oh gosh yes, I’m indeed impressive😭

I feel that even I’m now older I still have that personality of fighting, so I think probs next year I will still be a journo. But I do constantly have existential crisis when I realise I’m in a industry that isn’t ready to accept my existence. You do constantly feel you shouldn’t exist

Just before I turn 29, I ticked the box that my Chinese friends in Australia all had before they quit news and began doing comms: being both under qualified and overqualified. Let’s see if I indeed can’t break the curse that no female intl student-turned-journo could work more than 5yrs in AUS

A good thing about ageing is that when I’m told I won’t move forward because of my voice, appearance and things that I can’t control, I no longer push myself to think “that’s my fault, I need to work ten times harder” and then get endless angry with myself… 1/

Reading the China coverage on WWII by Australian media makes me desperate. Can we at least just mention that back in 1945 the People’s Republic of China wasn’t even founded? That it’s actually necessary to mention ROC/Taiwan in this coverage, not merely as a China’s target, but helped the war end?
