@manosundaresan you know this even if you don't know it yet but you're building too much talent not to end up in a place that will value you more. it's been a treat to see you come into your own and whatever I can do to lend opportunities and sympathies -- get at me!

This morning I was laid off by NPR along with the majority of this amazing team. We just launched our new season last week after reporting/producing it for over a year. Sending all the love to @gabbybulgarelli @samjleeds @sorayashock y'all are superstars and they did us dirty.

@mrsslrss marissa this is goddamn rotten. I've so admired what you've built and was so happy to see you doing such good work there. I would like to yell at people on your behalf!!! you have many in your corner, but if you ever want my post-guillotine perspective -- I'd be happy to share.

I was one of the people laid off from NPR during this brutal round of layoffs. I’m gutted and heartbroken that I won’t be able to continue working at @nprmusic on stories I love with people I admire so much. npr.org/2023/03/23/116…

@manosundaresan in 2018 when he returned as a reserve PG he explained he had to say it "for the culture" and yes he was there for Game 6 and in the parade

@patrickjaren give that man an honorary ring

thanks to @patrickjaren for putting me on to this bizarre 2000 Bucks promo song.. outsiders sometimes forget what this team has been through lol youtube.com/watch?v=qcaAC7…

@pgranitz I believe Gunnar/Waterford uses American-made steel too (reporting would indicate that Bilenky used Columbus i.e. Italian steel) if anyone else wants to send Boris a MUSA bike

Also particular to Gunnar bikes, as I assume @patrickjaren is too

Meg, Nicole, Alyce, Michelle, Laura, Celeste, Jen: I apologize for the dutiful, assiduous, yeomanlike lovemaking. I’d read Cosmo quizzes. I’d learned what was expected. You deserved better.

Me in college on dates with women, adopting strong opinions so I don’t have to kiss them. I am so sorry.

@ecjacobs @Nindoonjibaa @Racheldotbiz sounds on brand and also like I was bad at my job back then

My women's college degree really prepared me to give song recommendations to Terry for today's Tegan & Sara interview.

@ghweldon @nprmusic @artsorority "we stan a performatively unctuous king" --hyenas, c. 1994

My first @nprmusic byline! I’m hep with the youth of today! Oh you kid! Thanks to @patrickjaren for the original PCCH Newsletter edit, and @artsorority for the NPR Music polish. npr.org/2019/07/17/742…

@erinisconfused Hi! I believe so, under new management obviously, as the founder is deceased but the brand is putting out new stuff. Not sure who runs it now though?

@artsorority did you know @petramatic brings in an occasional series on our mutual bandwidth? npr.org/series/5106640…

The first story I've edited for @capitalbop is the saga of how a local musician tracked down the primary instrument of all-time great Stuff Smith -- after 50 years of storage -- and got it into the hands of a promising young violinist. capitalbop.com/stuff-smith-vi…

*some personal news* I'm doing a jazz thing again with a crew I've always admired. This isn't, like, my grand return to the music media world. This is about me trying to be a better listener and DC citizen. So if you have a story about the music happening here, I'm all ears.

Wrote about 'Eat. Race. Win.' and it published while I was eating for and racing in the @usacycling Amateur National Championship Road Race. (I did not win.)

Me: yea I dunno man I just haven't been writing about music much these days Also Me: here's 2800+ words at @Bandcamp on an obscure free jazz album (@Valleyofsearch) from 1975 bit.ly/2lIK86t

I was entasked to adapt this radio story into the Internet for NPR.org today. I suggested "Fake Hues" be worked into the headline. It didn't take. twitter.com/pourmecoffee/s…

@PHLJazzProject back at you guys! unless the Bucks draw the Sixers in the first round, then deferred until after that

@patrickjaren Greetings from Philly and much RESPECT & LOVE. Just wanted to send that your way man!

@LynnPNeary @ulabeast as a Milwaukee native, I find it wonderfully ironic that it took an adult film star to get the Arts Desk to learn about a ridiculous specimen whose videos I watch regularly late at night alone at my computer

@ulabeast How is it possible so many of us never heard. Of this awesome Greek basketball player before?

🗾 + 🎷 twitter.com/Bandcamp/statu…

shout out to Cara Cara oranges for being the primary good thing happening to me in this bleak midwinter

@artsorority "Percolator" too, by the way. (Man, I guess I'm late to this band too.) youtube.com/watch?v=kKl8Gw…
