Edit: I'm not anywhere much these days.

Maybe 2025 is the year of Bluesky? I'm officially on board. Tell me what you like about it, or don't. If you're over there, follow me: bsky.app/profile/katyma…. I'm not on Twitter much these days.

@emmajune Fellowship is not writing related, though. It's more about a career change out of journalism into an environmental field.

@emmajune Maybe related? I'm a former editor/reporter who made a career change in 2023 via an AmeriCorps climate action fellowship. I was reaccepted for a 2nd term and, three months later - after I'd started AND moved to LA - told I couldn't complete it. Looking for work now.

Writers and editors who have been laid off: I want your niche expertise. I edit TIME’s lists that dive deep into specific industries and topics, and assign a lot of the pieces to freelancers. Hit me up.

@sophia_voight I knew this was the only place I'd find the answer I seek! Yes, world, I have returned. At least for today.

@KatherineMacek returning to twitter to ask the real questions

Has anyone ever made it through a whole bottle of nail polish?

I'm pleased to announce @KatherineMacek and I won first-place awards from @WNA_news and @SABEW this weekend. Also, check out the other fantastic work from my colleagues at the @PostCrescent: postcrescent.com/story/news/loc…

I did a deep dive into the actual brain science of gratitude: how it affects our brains, changes our relationships to ourselves and others, and how it can help make us better people. I loved this story and am grateful to everyone who spoke to me for it. greenbaypressgazette.com/story/news/hea…

@culvers @culvers the drive thru in my hometown last night is STILL using single-use numbers. This is not reducing spread of COVID nor any other disease and it’s contributing to unnecessary waste. How many post-its does one location go through in a day?? Please do better.

@culvers Thinking about how the single-use @culvers sticky note numbers are a waste of paper; wondering how many get thrown away each day & when Culver's will go back to its reusable numbers. (from someone who ADORES Culver's and wants to see them do better.)

Thinking about how the Culver’s sticky note numbers are stronger than any romantic relationship I’ve ever had.

@Keasinho Thank youu!!

@KatherineMacek That’s so exciting!!! Hope it’s so fun and everything you want and more!

Anyone who knows me knows I’ve been dreaming of moving to California for many years. Last week, I (with help from so many) made it a reality. Today, I started a service term with the California Climate Action Corps in the Bay Area. Here’s to new adventures.

@hilton_annmarie Thank you 🥲🥲

It always comes down to the people. Great employee memories here from a chapter in Green Bay history in this story by @ruthyjacobs on the closing of the Day Street Mill: tinyurl.com/2pnrh3s2

What does it feel like to walk into a restaurant and realize you won't fit into the seat? @BursiekKloehn and @daphlemke spent months talking to consumers and experts about what it means to be size inclusive - and why that matters. Here's what they found. postcrescent.com/story/money/20…

Boba tea shops have been expanding, and Hmong Wisconsin Chamber of Commerce has identified 40+ across the state. @alexx_garner explores the culture, history and social media trends that led to this tasty drink having a moment. sheboyganpress.com/story/life/foo…

It’s easy to celebrate someone as wonderful, hardworking and kind as @JeffBollier! So grateful to work with and learn from you, you make our newsrooms so much better!

I think they meant to say happy birthday @natalie_eilbert. 🎉🎉Honest mistake.

Happy Mile!
