Honored to have my third piece for @TheAtlantic out this week on a subject I’ve been obsessing over for 3+ years and still can’t quite wrap my head around. Grateful to have been given 5k+ words with which to try and even more grateful to my editors, fact-checker, and sources.

AI “deadbots” aim to replace the dead—and raise plenty of ethical issues, @Charley_Burlock argues. “Perhaps the biggest question is how such a product might shift our experience of personal grief and collective memory.” theatlantic.com/ideas/2026/02/…

@Charley_Burlock @TheAtlantic I just read your article abot "deadbots" and grief. It was very thoughtful and thought-provoking - not to mention just a little bit troubling. I wanted to thank you for it!

@ellie_eberlee What a brutal loss for LARB and what a huge gain for wherever you end up next. Thank you for using your brilliant brain to bring the best out of so many writers, and your voice to call out mistreatment.

THIS. Journalists are NOT content creators. Our work is laborious and time-intensive, but leads to real change. And yes, you have to pay for it
Megan K. Stack@Megankstack

Terrible news of mass layoffs of some excellent journalists at the Washington Post today. If you want news to exist, if you want reporters who know what they’re doing to investigate things that matter, you have to subscribe to publications. You have to pay. No way around it.

I’ve been working on this piece for four+ years. I’ve been wrestling with its themes for many more, and doubt I’ll ever be done. Infinitely grateful to @ellie_eberlee for bringing this story, finally, to the finish line @LAReviewofBooks for giving it such spectacular home!

even if for no other reason, you should support public transit simply because most people do NOT belong behind the wheel of a motor vehicle

I began this essay in an intro to creative nonfiction workshop led my Megan Mayhew Bergman (wisely no longer on Twitter). Her guidance and this story inspired me to pursue writing. Infinite gratitude to @ellie_eberlee for the BRILLIANT edits, faith, and endless generosity.

Dropping this in dishonor of the vessel’s reopening tomorrow. TLDR: suicide barriers work in part because they are visual affirmations that someone cares if you live or die. The developer’s response to the deaths continues to communicate the opposite. hyperallergic.com/908512/why-the…
