What I loved about Wade's reporting was not just his distinctive voice, but how he wrote so beautifully to that voice. And he was a generous, kind and gracious friend and colleague. Rest in peace, my friend. npr.org/2023/06/08/116…

I'm navigating a ethics issue on a story I'm working on that involves domestic violence. Who are the journalist and organizations who do this topic well? I'm looking to talk to folks privately for advice.

Hundreds of @SouthwestAir flights are delayed today as the airline asked the FAA to "pause the airline's departures." Southwest says in a tweet the problem is "a result of the intermittent technology issues" and it hopes to "be resuming our operation as soon as possible." @npr

@sarahmccammon My wife made me this to tape to the basement door, where my home studio is. That’s also where the loud furnace is, which I must turn down so it doesn’t kick on when I’m on live or recording… but I often forget to turn it back up until we’re all freezing

To those making snarky remarks about #NPR layoffs-have some compassion. No matter what your politics, these are *real* people who are losing jobs they love. This affects them, their families and their communities. So come on-show a little humanity. Please.

I don't drink. But at the end of our first feed of @npratc today, a thoughtful producer brought some powerful bourbon whiskey into the control room. The news from inside npr has been absolutely brutal this week. So, again... I don't drink. But today? Today is different. #nprlife

@EPA is taking charge of the clean up of the fiery and toxic @nscorp train wreck in East Palestine, OH and will force the railroad co to pay for it all. EPA's Michael Regan: "In no way shape or form will Norfolk Southern get off the hook for the mess that they created." @npr

Please join me today in wishing my 21st birthday a happy 21st birthday. (Which feels appropriate because these days if I have two drinks in a row I pretty much have to go straight to bed.) 👵 🍷 🍷
