Unhoused women in San Francisco experience incredibly difficult and unique challenges. @mallorymoench and I spent months listening to and learning from 3 women who shared their harrowing stories of survival. Meet Julianna, Jina and Zia bit.ly/44tUBFL @sfchronicle

Today is my two year anniversary at the Sonoma Index-Tribune. I knew I would cover wildfires and wine when I began. But I had no idea I would cover award-winning dogs, Ukrainian refugees and artificial intelligence in agriculture. It's been a ride

For what it's worth, my own impression is that the story is less about the dangers of Elon and more about the combined problems of wealth concentration under modern capitalism and state under-investment in infrastructure. There's room for differing interpretations, of course.
I read the Ronan Farrow Elon Musk thing and honestly Musk himself doesn't come off any worse than usual. The bad part is how shockingly reliant the US government is on him. Electric charging stations! Space flights! Mobile battlefield internet! Just insane

When I first moved to Sonoma County, I stayed in a motel room because there was such an affordable housing shortage. When I found a place, it was 65% of my income with utilities. nytimes.com/interactive/2023…

Being a journalist is a privilege. We do this work because we care deeply about our community, and we believe local journalism helps keep the community strong. But we also need to be fairly compensated for the work that we do. Because good journalism isn’t cheap… 1/5

It takes a special kind of person to work as a journalist: strong & persevering, yet open-minded & empathetic. Today’s conscientious young journalists are leading the way to tomorrow’s more equitable, diverse and just society. Their idealism inspires us and illuminates our world.

There is much, much more to do, but from what I can tell it is not widely understood that US per-capita CO₂ emissions have fallen below WWI levels: ourworldindata.org/grapher/c…

I for one would be thrilled if Hollywood studios so badly miscalculated their own importance that it spurred an indie movie renaissance.

Wonder if there’s gonna be any accountability for the majority of TV economists who’ve been wishcasting an economic collapse for years if their wildest dreams of a recession never come true? Because it certainly looks like they were regurgitating bad info for three years.

We’ve been negotiating for 6 months with Sonoma Media Investments (SMI), the owner company of the papers we work for, in an effort to increase our wages and improve our working conditions. SMI has proposed a total of a 4% raise over four years; the equivalent of 1% per year. 4/6
