#NICAR25
Hey, @ire.org, is it weird that I'm already thinking about NICAR26? Seriously. Another journalist and I were having lunch yesterday and were actually talking about NICAR25, which led to talking about NICAR26. Already thinking how to top my soundscape from last year too.

Saw this and thought, someone was just telling me about this.

Then remembered it was @egawthrop.bsky.social at #NICAR25! Awesome to see this published.

Oh sure, I've taught after-school language courses to 20 unruly 4th graders. And I've done speaking engagements before, including most recently at NICAR25.

The last two weeks, I have only been home four days. Three in Minneapolis for #NICAR25 — check the magnet I picked up this year, that’s the logo from my *very first* NICAR — and a week in Chicago to celebrate my cousin getting engaged, and I stayed a week for work.
