@jabladoraaa @pitchfork Whoa! Holy shit! This rules so much!! Congratulations— so well deserved!!

life update: it's my last day as a contributing editor at @pitchfork. i'm joining the editorial team at apple music, curating playlists & planning editorial projects for latin america. i'm starting the position remotely in NYC, but in a few months, i'm moving to Mexico City. ✨

@cushac End of an era! I feel lucky to have been in the trenches with you on so many crazy projects. Excited for whatever’s next ❤️

programming note: as of this week I'm no longer a contributing editor at Pitchfork. I've got nothing but love for everyone there, and I'm so proud to have contributed to the legacy of a publication I've read daily since I was a teen. what a dream. more soon on what's next for me.

@CineMasai_ @jeremydlarson @tweeasfuck @jabladoraaa @cushac @PhilipSherburne @CatZhang1 @Jayson_Greene @senari You rule, Dylan. An honor and a privilege to work with you— I know you’re headed for great things ❤️

peace to @jeremydlarson @tweeasfuck @jabladoraaa @cushac @PhilipSherburne @CatZhang1 @Jayson_Greene and Hubert Adjei-Kontoh for helping forge my thoughts into pieces. peace to @amyhphillips and @senari for guiding me through this network until you were unceremoniously cut from it

after 3.5 years, I’m leaving my position as a Contributing Writer at Pitchfork. don’t get it twisted, I wasn’t laid off or fired. I’m leaving of my own volition. to where? I can’t publicly say rn but trust it’s gonna be a cool and fun change.

🚨Extremely cool record alert!!! 🚨 Congrats @eliaeinhorn @RedHotOrg

“I think we had our time, and we were lucky that it was a very long time.” Talked w/ Slate about my P4K years:

Incredibly proud of the work we did, feeling very grateful to see it recognized. Congratulations to our team— I miss you!

Pitchfork getting nominated for a General Excellence ASME Award this year is the dictionary definition of “bittersweet”…

Thanks @markyarm — this was very fun. Nothing I enjoy more than chatting P4K highlights

Fun times chatting about the early Chicago P4K days with @ryanpitchfork and @chriskaskie on @WBEZ

In light of recent events, I’ve been thinking a lot about my five years at Pitchfork with the best team in the game

@evanminsker Despite all your rage, you are no longer a rat in a cage!

pay attention to whats happening with writers being let go right now by large companies - sad, short sighted and decided on by people you'd never wanna hang with.

I hope whatever comes next for music writing will inspire a new generation of curious and passionate listeners who want to dissect and try to understand the music that fills our lives. Even with all of its problems, Pitchfork did that for me, and I’m better for it

@Nina_Corcoran @senari Thank you, Nina 🩷

How lucky to have worked alongside such powerhouses, including our fearless leaders @senari and @amyhphillips, who shaped pitchfork into a better, stronger, more varied publication that captured our music world in real time. I love you all so much. Thank you, thank you, thank you

Pitchfork is losing actual legends with these layoffs, people whose work is a treasure trove of criticism and insight that's changed how I view music, both as a fan and a writer. To honor their last day, here are my favorite pieces by everyone:

@ryandombal Couldn’t have picked a better rundown of the last decade-and-a-half myself. What an astonishing we all you had. 🫡

and thanks to everyone who ever read our work it all sounds like a dream to me... youtube.com/watch?v=JoIGQJ…

endless gratitude to our @nyguild reps @lenaruthsolow, @susandecarava, and @rachelysanders. and our colleages in @condeunion. the fight continues.

@MarkRichardson @ryandombal @evanminsker @MarcHogan @jillian_mapes This lit up my heart my heart like a goddamn pinball machine, Mark. Thank you. ❤️

I wrote a tribute to some of the people at p4k who were laid off last week, remembering our early days working together. starring @amyhphillips @ryandombal @evanminsker @MarcHogan @jillian_mapes and Sam Sodomsky open.substack.com/pub/markrichar…

@ryanpitchfork @MarkRichardson @senari 10.0, best job ever.

@ryanpitchfork @MarkRichardson And @senari for steering the ship with such vision, power, and inclusivity for the past 5 years.

Welp… it happened. My time @pitchfork is being brought to an end, as it was announced today that the publication is being folded into GQ. It’s been the honor of my life to have worked here for the past 18-and-a-half (!) years…
