This is not the post I thought I'd be writing today but as of this morning my position has been eliminated and I was laid off from the National Audubon Society so if you're looking for someone who has a lot of experience writing to help make the world a better place: hi.

And if you aren't lucky enough to have woodcocks in your area, you still have cool migratory species passing through RIGHT NOW. See who's coming through your region in the Americas here: explorer.audubon.org/home

If you love the Bryant Park woodcock, you can help them, and other migratory birds, reach their destinations safely by turning out your lights and drawing your curtains at night. audubon.org/our-work/citie…

Many of North America’s birds are in a state of accelerating decline, with over half of 122 species dying out faster, according to a new study. Their vanishing songs are a bellwether of a far deeper biodiversity crisis, researchers say. wapo.st/4kUFnTT

Community science and sharing data is great when you A. Know what the data is that’s being gathered B. Know who you’re sending the data to and C. Know that the data is being used for good stuff, like charting environmental science over a century. audubon.org/news/how-centu…

Today is the last day of the Great Backyard Bird Count. It only takes 15 minutes, and you can send your data through the eBird app, or even through other analog measures if that’s what you’re into. Anyone can do it! You don’t have to be an expert on birds. birdcount.org

My entire feed right now is reading like an extended obituary for the modern media era and how we all do the work we do and I am so damn angry about it.

Cried through the first take of this video. Our arts team was decimated, most arts reporters, most critics, in the mass layoffs at @washingtonpost. It's a sad day for anyone who cares about the arts — now for action, looking for work, ways to still support artists.

The other reporter on my team covering race was also laid off as well as the editor in charge of race coverage across national. The team covering America beyond DC is now 90% white.
Emmanuel Felton@emmanuelfelton

I'm among the hundreds of people laid off by The Post. This comes six months after hearing in a national meeting that race coverage drives subscriptions. This wasn't a financial decision, it was an ideological one.

As a Texas journalist, I cannot say enough how absolutely stupid it is to lay of PATRICK SVITEK during an election year. What idiocy. Also harrowing: An already impossible job market being flooded with the most talented reporters of my generation. God help us all.
Patrick Svitek@PatrickSvitek

I was laid off today from the Washington Post’s campaigns team covering the midterms and 2028. I hear this is an important election year — and I want to cover it aggressively. If you’d like to work together, my DMs are open and you can email me at patrick.svitek@gmail.com.

Things slipping toward obsolescence: "Washington Post" "affording apartments with balconies" "DC" "books"

Apparently The Post has laid off every reporter and editor covering the Middle East. Jerusalem bureau closed. Also Ukraine bureau closed.

Laid off from the Washington Post, along with the entire roster of Middle East correspondents and our editors. Hard to understand the logic. But I am grateful for my incredible colleagues, whose grit and dedication to the reporting and each other I will miss dearly.
