@megankhenry @DispatchAlerts For sure!

@baileygallion @DispatchAlerts Congrats, Bailey! We’ll have to get a drink once you get settled!

Hello. Just a quick note: I’m back in Ohio and start work at the Columbus Dispatch (@DispatchAlerts) on Monday.

@rchapoco Sure enough!

Back to Gannett?

@ThomasGnau I really am lol

@baileygallion You seem to be on the "See America" tour.

Student journalism matters :)

@K_O_Sundberg @rgay @RoxaneGayBooks Amazing! Congrats Kelly :)

@AbbeyMarshall One time my boss asked us to share a fun fact about our hometown and all I could think of was that well known sex offender Brock Turner went to my high school 😐

literally never ask me to share a fun fact about myself in a professional environment. all the thoughts will leave my head and I will no longer be fun. I will proceed to scream, cry, throw up—

@ClickHole @_finchwalker

Ok fine I’m there too

You gotta read this. Not only was the photo printed after the MYC mayor told the story of carrying it in his wallet, but staffers roughed it up and splashed it with coffee to make it look old, NYT reports: nytimes.com/2023/07/06/nyr…

So I'm reporting from court today, covering an eviction docket in Judge Israel Garcia's courtroom. I had my phone on airplane but an old alarm went off by accident. The judge has confiscated my phone until 9 a.m. tomorrow. Also there are ~450 cases on the docket.

Update: The charges have been dropped against the man accused of throwing cans of White Claw at Sen. Ted Cruz during the Astros World Series parade. A grand jury failed to find an indictment #HouNews

Endless thanks to my fellow journalists at Florida Today, who have taught me more than I can sum up in a Twitter thread, and especially to @MBellaby and Bobby Block for their leadership, passion and patience. I will miss this scrappy little newspaper.

Some news: thrilled to say I’ll be joining @HoustonChron next month, where I will be covering public safety. My last day with @Florida_Today is Oc.t 5.

Update: the state and Melbourne PD are looking into claims about a sexual assault at a Brevard middle school, and a potentially unrelated sexual assault report against a transgender student in a different school bathroom has surfaced. floridatoday.com/story/news/edu…

Brevard Public Schools says claims that a transgender student sexually assaulted a girl in a school bathroom are false, calls Randy Fine's letter asking the state to investigate "an embarrassment": floridatoday.com/story/news/edu…

@K_O_Sundberg Kelly, you helped me understand abuse with your honest, earnest words. I hope you don’t ever stop speaking

I would be remiss if I didn’t note the fact that while Moms for Liberty/@FlaDems conferences are happening simultaneously in Tampa, there’s also a Comic-Con. Here is the Mandalorian and Boba Fett sitting behind me at the Moms for Liberty hotel. Star Wars caucus?
