@SheCarriesOn @davedeckerphoto You would have 100% been doing this regardless of us meeting, but I am grateful that we did. I also dunno how I got sucked back onto Twitter.

I likely wouldn't be working in this industry at all if @rayroa hadn't responded to my cold pitch and given me a chance. Met Ray and @davedeckerphoto the same day back in 2020 while covering a protest of former VP Mike Pence in Tampa.

Very proud and honored to be a finalist for an @AltWeeklies award for beat reporting on Central Florida labor alongside award finalists @rayroa and @davedeckerphoto for their arts feature and photography, respectively :) cltampa.com/tampa/tampa-ph…

JIC you missed it, Creative Loafing Tampa Bay @OrlandoWeekly @SAcurrent have all left this place for now.

Oh boy. Everyone's on BlueSky now.

Surreal.

The Tampa Bay Rays told fans that the team will play its 2025 home games at Steinbrenner Field in Tampa. In a release sent to the media yesterday, the Rays also shared nearly four dozen photos of the damage inside Tropicana Field and its offices. cltampa.com/tampa/photos-t…

@BayNews9Jeff @TampaTigerBay Genuine and natural I can do. Knowing my shit is debatable!

@rayroa @TampaTigerBay Just be genuine and natural. It may not sound as polished in your head as you want, but natural is more important than polished. It helps that you know your topic. Your brain will provide the words when you know your subject. (Things I’ve learned in 20+ years on TV)
