Personal News: I’ve secretly been the managing editor of @NewWineReview for several months. Happy it’s now out in the world. Wine and whiskey coverage we hope you’ll like.

@mattdpearce There are… many odd claims in this article.

If you are one of those people who read LA Weekly online more than LAist raise your hand.

@JohnAthayde He said some other things that I would describe as consistent with a person worried about cancellation, she asked him if he’s always like this (in a way clearly implying “this” is “bad”) and he told her he was “raised importantly as an only son”

@britt_m I’m hoping there was a thrown drink or a walk out. Was it just the awkward silence while he monologued for the rest of the date?

Forced on here to tell you about the app date next to me in a Manhattan bar. Woman to Finance Man: “What are your hobbies?” Man: “Deep house. What is your take on ‘cancel culture’? Are you part of that? I consider it fascist.”

@DaveLeeFT Hello! Thanks for doing this! I'm @britt_m@journa.host. Cheers!

Journalists moving from Twitter to Mastodon tonight — we’ve built a simple service to verify and share journalists’ profiles across *any* Mastodon server. Verified accounts get a badge to signal authenticity. Apply here: presscheck.org

If this does end up being the end of twitter, I'll miss (aspects of) this site, particularly the friends and connections I've made here. I hope we all find ways to meet up somewhere else. Thanks for the memories! 💖

Announcing that I'm now @britt_m@journa.host if we're all moving to Mastodon.

Confession: It's me. I was the weirdo who actually subscribed to Twitter Blue months ago just out of curiosity. Sorry!

@BaurJoe Thanks!!

@britt_m Great working with you! Looking forward to hearing about what’s next!

Today is my last day helming @VegTimes. It’s been a great experience and even I am amazed by how massively the publication grew in just a year and a half, both in audience and quality. We really relaunched a whole legacy magazine from the ground up.

I am sad @britt_m is leaving, but excited for her new project and glad to have worked with her some during the time she revitalized @VegTimes so beautifully! If you're not reading it yet, you should; so much cool stuff in there.

Up next for me is a little break (my first since 2019!) and then I’ll be right back to work on a very exciting new project I am really eager to share. More to come soon!

I want to say a big thank you to all the cool, kind people at Outside Inc who put a lot of trust in me and my vision for the brand and to all the fantastic writers and creatives that put that vision into action. I hope I made them — and our readers — happy.

@wardrobe_oxygen There was absolutely a photo taken of me at a party in my Refinery29 era sporting chambray shirt, sequin skirt, red lips, big glasses, top bun, all at once. What an era!

@wardrobe_oxygen Shrieking at the accuracy 😂

one thing u gotta give the uk is it’s way easier to get someone to resign in shame than in the united states

The number of times I have googled how to spell “restaurateur” this week is astonishing
