Good night. #washingtonpost

I was just laid off by The Washington Post in the middle of a warzone. I have no words. I'm devastated.

I never knew about this! The Hidden History Of The Nazi U-Boats That Prowled The Gulf Coast, Bringing World War II to America's Shores, writes travel journalist @AsiaPalomba in @SmithsonianMag ➡️ buff.ly/WHOKGgY

My latest 👇👇👇

Between 1942 and 1943, German submarines sank 56 Allied ships in the region and damaged another 14, losing just one of their own in the process. bit.ly/4mJb1V0

These are the four pieces for which I won the Pulitzer Prize for Commentary. All published in 2024. Blessings to the souls of 31 members of my family who were killed in one air strike in 2023. Blessings to the souls of my four first cousins, two of whom were killed with their husbands and their children. Blessings to the soul of my great aunt, Fatima, whose “corpse” remains under the rubble of her house since October 2024. Blessings to the graves of my grandparents, refugee from Yaffa, who I will never find. Blessings to the souls of my students who got killed while looking for food and firewood. To the school where I studied and where I taught, to the library that I founded and to which I added one poetry book before 2023. Blessings to many more, many more. I’m praying for an immediate and permanent ceasefire and JUSTICE and PEACE! 🍓🍓🍓🍓

A bit late on this one but my latest for @TravelLeisure is a recap of a road trip I took thru Ireland to discover my Irish heritage, which had been silent in my family for over 100 years 🍀 travelandleisure.com/southern-irela…

The most insane sunset the other night in Boston (no filter!) ❤️

My @NatGeo article in Japanese for @NatGeoMagJP 🦀

Bottom line: I’m effin proud of myself

I never post like this bc it feels braggy but last year I told myself in 2024 I’d be published in 4 major pubs & ya girl did it! @TravelLeisure was March, @washingtonpost was May, @NatGeo was now, and TK is coming soon (not disclosing name until publication)manifestation is real!

Happy Friday! My debut for @NatGeo is live and about a very special population of crabs that live beneath Rome’s ancient ruins 🦀 nationalgeographic.com/animals/articl…

@lolaannamendez Congrats! Do you have any tips on how you did this? I’m sure it would be super useful for people

In good writing world news I got another publication to agree to a 100% kill fee and that all rights return to me should they not publish the work. Keep advocating for yourself!
