Working on a story and looking to chat with people of all ages who feel like they aren't getting enough rest. DM me if that sounds like you!

we’re really getting floods, an earthquake and a solar eclipse all in one week huh

@taylorcrumpton @TIME TAYLOR this is so fucking cool!! Congratulations 🎉

I JUST SCREAMED IN MY HOUSE. THE NAME OF MY @TIME ARTICLE IS THE URL FOR BEYONCÉ’S NEW WEBSITE.

I’m honored @TheBodyDotCom asked me to write an article on Hydeia Broadbent thebody.com/article/rememb…

@mathewrodriguez Destiny's Child!!

Wanna make a playlist that's just like "2000s Summers" that really brings back that feeling ... i'm thinking like Ja Rule, Lumidee, Amerie. What should be on it?

I was laid off by Refinery29/Vice today. I feel so privileged to have worked with my R29 colleagues and publish work I truly loved in the past 3 years. 🤍 I am now open for work/assignments, so feel free to reach out to fransolasantiago@gmail.com.

Cecilia Gentili was a living legend. A titan, an unapologetic example of trans joy and power. Her spirit lives on in all whom she touched and all she built for us. Rest powerfully and peacefully, Mami. And go kiki with the ancestors. You deserve eternal pleasure. 🙏🏽

I'm one of 115 who were let go from LAT today. I'm proud of what @delosLAtimes accomplished and thank the Guild for securing us severance. I guess now's a good time to finish my novel-slash-screenplay! Hmu if you need an LA-based writer, singer or DJ: suzy dot exposito at gmail

A year ago today, my life was upended when I was laid off from a steady full-time job. While I've had some incredible opportunities come my way (see my ✨pinned tweet✨for more), this is my quarterly thread ask for you to consider me for a full-time role or freelance project(s)!

Angely is an incredible reporter. If you're looking for a climate/science reporter, she's the one you want on your team!

6 months ago, I left full-time work to pen the book I had to write, a memoir of my father's life with HIV and how it resonates in my life. I'd worked on the book slowly for years and then frantically for months and now ... it's happening! TOUGH GUY is coming from @ABRAMSbooks!

for @TheBodyDotCom i wrote about 8 films that, though they are not directly about the AIDS crisis, could be interpreted as being about AIDS or are very good catalysts for thinking about viral infection and chronic illness thebody.com/article/eight-…

Folks, this is NOT. A. NEWS. SOURCE. This is an account that earns money from engagement by claiming to quote other news outlets. It doesn’t link to those sites. It doesn’t even screenshot them. Don’t trust this account. Go to the primary source every time to verify.

Today makes 61 days that @HuffPost is late paying me as a freelancer. Not only do they owe me for the invoice that I filed on July 17 but because they’re based in NYC I’m also owed a late fee. It is completely unacceptable and shameful to not pay freelancers on time

@weischoice @BodyPROHIV thanks for this question! i’m not sure why it’s not listed but I can find out that info

@_mariaeperez @BodyPROHIV what's the pay rate and time commitment per week?

Hey, come work with me! @BodyPROHIV is looking for a part-time science editor. All the details are below, but if you have any questions feel free to email me: mperez@thebody.com. recruiting.paylocity.com/recruiting/job…

Tomorrow for @TheBodyDotCom, I’ll be live on Instagram, “At Home With” long term survivor, founder of Honoring Our Experience, and all around great guy, Gregg Cassin! Join us at 2pm ET. #HIV #hivstigma #uequalsu

wrote about the relationship between hip-hop and mental health, specifically how the medium has always been used by those to express their frustrations, their peers, their paranoia and efforts to destigmatize today for @POPSUGAR. popsugar.com/fitness/hip-ho…

Heeyyy it’s meee, once again asking that someone considers hiring me for a full-time role or editorial project within reporting, editing, or social media! The journalism job market has been particularly brutal, so begging for money on main is one of my few options!

wrote about the groundbreaking campaign of mary j. blige and lil kim for viva glam cosmetics. since then, women in hip-hop have raised over $500 million in funds to support hiv/aids research with viva glam. read more at @TheBodyDotCom thebody.com/article/mary-j…
