Worked on this timeline of Trump’s term for @nytopinion. I was honestly surprised by how many of the details of Jan 2017 – Jan 2021 had merged into an amorphous alarm bell in my mind. Read for a refresher on the former President’s record

Worked on design/dev for this piece from Opinion video– exit interviews with departing house and senate members, shedding some light on what working in Congress is actually like:

Late to share (I was post-deadline hibernating) – contributed to the dev/digital design of this very heartbreaking piece on homelessness in America, as told by people experiencing homelessness in America. Their stories are wrenching, eye-opening and more than worth a read:

In Opinion A visual meditation on time, loss, and solace, made from the work of the photographer Mary Manning and the poet Brian Turner. nyti.ms/44RtNzh

Without a doubt, the most wistful and beautiful interactive I've ever contributed to creating. Made some very gentle fadey-scrollies for this photo/poetry piece, up today: nytimes.com/interactive/20…

Learned a new word today– VEXILLOLOGY: The scientific study of the history, symbolism, and usage of flags. I love it. (I didn't work on this, just think it's fab) nytimes.com/interactive/20…

The downside: After debugging this piece, I never want to hear the Indiana Jones theme again in my life 🤣

The upside: I got to work on this really fun piece! Made some custom players that toggle audio! The writer really gets detailed on movie music techniques– it made me think about soundtracks in a new way!

love this

It was a treat to help lovingly build this absolutely lovely piece. 💜

If you’d told me I was going to work on an interactive for @nytopinion that included floating toilet paper… 🤯

In Opinion We asked ChatGPT to try to capture that most human of emotions: love. Try our generator and pen a valentine for your partner or Jennifer Coolidge or your therapist, in the style of a Taylor Swift song or a Yelp review or a pirate. nyti.ms/3K3sqH3

I made a valentine (with help from @nytopinion and ChatGPT) This one's dedicated to NYC, my perpetual valentine. nytimes.com/interactive/20…

Did seeing Donald Trump back on the main stage stir up some old emotions? We created a black hole for them. Write down what’s been swirling around in your mind. nyti.ms/3UKScSQ

It’s known as the troubled teen industry. Spread across the U.S., these facilities and programs are supposed to help children with mental health and behavioral issues. In reality, it is harming many of them. nyti.ms/3fXSZk2

Worked on dev for this powerful package on mental health in America, Part I up today: nytimes.com/interactive/20…

@andrewvandam On it! youtube.com/watch?v=1lyu1K…

also? you gotta bring the "verve"

Folks!! My good friends in climate are hiring a graphics columnist! It sounds like your job will be similar to mine. The only difference? You'll be focusing on the most important topic on the planet, instead of whatever the hell it is that I do. washpost.wd5.myworkdayjobs.com/washingtonpost…

@lauren_kelley Congratulations, Lauren!!! Well deserved! 🎉

@moschmo1 HA. I'm here now Chip, what'd I miss

My gen-z littlest sister asked me in 100% seriousness if phones were all rotary dial when I was growing up. I cry
