If the Democratic party takes one thing away from the NYC primary, it's that they only need to answer one question to decide on a direction: Do people want more of the same, or something new? Their answer in 2024 was more of the same. We saw how that turned out.

In the words of Nelson Mandela: it always seems impossible until it’s done. My friends, it is done. And you are the ones who did it. I am honored to be your Democratic nominee for the Mayor of New York City.

I'm working on a digital story for a national pub about travel experiences put on by outdoor/adventure gear companies where people can rent/test the brand's gear during the trip. Are you a gear company doing this? I'd love to connect. DMs open. #journorequests

My new National Geographic just arrived, which includes my latest feature—my 16th, and my last as a senior writer. NatGeo is laying off all of its staff writers. I’ve been so lucky. I got to work w/incredible journalists and tell important, global stories. It’s been an honor.

@NinaStrochlic @NatGeo Wow, I’m so sorry, Nina. That’s really sad news for the publication itself and readers. Your writing has been really influential for me. I hope you can take some time for yourself during this transition. You’ll bring so much value wherever you land!

It’s been an epic run, @NatGeo. My colleagues and I were unbelievably lucky to be the last-ever class of staff writers—certainly the coolest job I’ll ever have, and possibly among the coolest to ever exist. Now onto the next thing! Open to all weird/fun/interesting ideas.

My diet the last 30 days in Southern Europe (mostly Spain) included 2 big hot meals a day, daily gelato and a beer or two every day, too. Way more than I eat at home. I gained 0 lbs. Is it because I walked everywhere there or our food in the US (even when we try) is pure poison?

I so wish I was revisiting my conversations with Stockton for pretty much any other reason. With everyone asking “why” about every aspect of the expedition, I hope people will take the time to listen to his answers. #titanicsub outsideonline.com/adventure-trav…

@LauraMarkis @inaribriana I wanted to include some custom maps at our wedding, but we had a summer 2020 ceremony so we were just lucky to get married at all. 😆
