On my final day @PacificStand I’m feeling nostalgic, so I wanted to share some favorite moments and stories. Think of it as a memorial to a job that I loved and that helped me grow as an editor and a person.
@PacificStand Also, if you admire the breadth and depth and quality of this work, I am currently looking for my next adventure (read: job). DMs open.
@PacificStand My very first story at @PacificStand was this incredible piece from @kathrynajoyce. It is still one of my favorites. Read it. psmag.com/social-justice…
@PacificStand @kathrynajoyce My second was this prescient piece by @JeremyJ_Miller, which is more true today than ever. Jeremy always has good story ideas. psmag.com/news/droughtla…
@PacificStand @kathrynajoyce @JeremyJ_Miller Remembering that time we asked @rowanjacobsen to do a real/fake hamburger meat taste test. I worked with Rowan on three pieces for @PacificStand, all of them great.
@PacificStand @kathrynajoyce @JeremyJ_Miller @rowanjacobsen There was also that time we won a national magazine award for our first ever photo essay in the newly redesigned print mag. Woo hoo. psmag.com/news/adrift-at…
@PacificStand @kathrynajoyce @JeremyJ_Miller @rowanjacobsen This @denibechard piece is a really sensitive profile of a transgender veteran, and i will never forget working with him on it, trying to get every single word right. psmag.com/news/born-iden…
@PacificStand @kathrynajoyce @JeremyJ_Miller @rowanjacobsen @denibechard And this one from @arielramch is perhaps the craziest piece I edited for @PacificStand, and so much fun to read. psmag.com/magazine/the-b…
@PacificStand @kathrynajoyce @JeremyJ_Miller @rowanjacobsen @denibechard @arielramch On second thought, that distinction might also go to this @Robinhemley piece. Moment of appreciation for the amazing art here as well. psmag.com/ideas/spending…
@PacificStand @kathrynajoyce @JeremyJ_Miller @rowanjacobsen @denibechard @arielramch @Robinhemley I’ve worked with Chris Ketcham many times over the years, but I thought this piece was especially good. psmag.com/magazine/falla…
@PacificStand @kathrynajoyce @JeremyJ_Miller @rowanjacobsen @denibechard @arielramch @Robinhemley This story by @KSharpAuthor about the Hopi people's quest to repossess their stolen sacred items is so important. Read it. Kathleen also interviewed Ava Duvernay for @PacificStand. psmag.com/magazine/the-t…
@PacificStand @kathrynajoyce @JeremyJ_Miller @rowanjacobsen @denibechard @arielramch @Robinhemley @KSharpAuthor Thanks to J.C. Hallman, I got to approve the purchase of a demolition derby car as an expense item. Career goal met. psmag.com/magazine/the-d…
@PacificStand @kathrynajoyce @JeremyJ_Miller @rowanjacobsen @denibechard @arielramch @Robinhemley @KSharpAuthor But I think this story by @LaurenMarkham_ wins for most badass reporting. Check it out. psmag.com/magazine/viole…
@PacificStand @kathrynajoyce @JeremyJ_Miller @rowanjacobsen @denibechard @arielramch @Robinhemley @KSharpAuthor @LaurenMarkham_ As for idea pieces, this one by @JB_MacKinnon is top shelf. psmag.com/magazine/trage…
@PacificStand @kathrynajoyce @JeremyJ_Miller @rowanjacobsen @denibechard @arielramch @Robinhemley @KSharpAuthor @LaurenMarkham_ @JB_MacKinnon I loved this piece by Amy Irvine for its raw emotion and deep resolve. psmag.com/news/conflagra…
@PacificStand @kathrynajoyce @JeremyJ_Miller @rowanjacobsen @denibechard @arielramch @Robinhemley @KSharpAuthor @LaurenMarkham_ @JB_MacKinnon I also loved this super quirky piece by @AndyKroll, who is a joy to work with. Great display copy here as well. psmag.com/magazine/under…
@PacificStand @kathrynajoyce @JeremyJ_Miller @rowanjacobsen @denibechard @arielramch @Robinhemley @KSharpAuthor @LaurenMarkham_ @JB_MacKinnon @AndyKroll This one from @byjoeeaton is thrilling to read and was thrilling edit. Sentence by sentence it is just so damn good. psmag.com/magazine/king-…
@PacificStand @kathrynajoyce @JeremyJ_Miller @rowanjacobsen @denibechard @arielramch @Robinhemley @KSharpAuthor @LaurenMarkham_ @JB_MacKinnon @AndyKroll @byjoeeaton And this powerful photoessay from @kiliiiyuyan. Kiliii is doing such important work. It was an absolute honor to publish this. psmag.com/social-justice…
@PacificStand @kathrynajoyce @JeremyJ_Miller @rowanjacobsen @denibechard @arielramch @Robinhemley @KSharpAuthor @LaurenMarkham_ @JB_MacKinnon @AndyKroll @byjoeeaton @kiliiiyuyan As was this piece by @SarahMenkedick, which is also more important today than ever. Sarah and I had two other stories in the works for @PacificStand. She is just super. psmag.com/magazine/the-m…
@PacificStand @kathrynajoyce @JeremyJ_Miller @rowanjacobsen @denibechard @arielramch @Robinhemley @KSharpAuthor @LaurenMarkham_ @JB_MacKinnon @AndyKroll @byjoeeaton @kiliiiyuyan @SarahMenkedick I think @AntoniaJuhasz may have been the most dogged reporter I worked with, as is clear from this story about worker fatalities on the Dakota Access Pipeline. #NoDAPL psmag.com/magazine/death…
@PacificStand @kathrynajoyce @JeremyJ_Miller @rowanjacobsen @denibechard @arielramch @Robinhemley @KSharpAuthor @LaurenMarkham_ @JB_MacKinnon @AndyKroll @byjoeeaton @kiliiiyuyan @SarahMenkedick @AntoniaJuhasz One of the last pieces I got to see through at @PacificStand was this darkly fascinating story from @RobGMacfarlane. psmag.com/ideas/the-hidi…
@PacificStand @kathrynajoyce @JeremyJ_Miller @rowanjacobsen @denibechard @arielramch @Robinhemley @KSharpAuthor @LaurenMarkham_ @JB_MacKinnon @AndyKroll @byjoeeaton @kiliiiyuyan @SarahMenkedick @AntoniaJuhasz @RobGMacfarlane And this @TereseMarieM essay will forever hold a special place in my heart. psmag.com/magazine/silen…
@PacificStand @kathrynajoyce @JeremyJ_Miller @rowanjacobsen @denibechard @arielramch @Robinhemley @KSharpAuthor @LaurenMarkham_ @JB_MacKinnon @AndyKroll @byjoeeaton @kiliiiyuyan @SarahMenkedick @AntoniaJuhasz @RobGMacfarlane @TereseMarieM Pacific Standard operated on the premise that social and environmental justice are instrumental in addressing war and violence, the refugee crisis and the climate crisis, as well as hunger, racism, and humanitarian issues of all kinds.
@PacificStand @kathrynajoyce @JeremyJ_Miller @rowanjacobsen @denibechard @arielramch @Robinhemley @KSharpAuthor @LaurenMarkham_ @JB_MacKinnon @AndyKroll @byjoeeaton @kiliiiyuyan @SarahMenkedick @AntoniaJuhasz @RobGMacfarlane @TereseMarieM I’m so sad that our benefactor and the corporate executives at @SAGE_News had a sudden change of heart and withdrew our funding.
@PacificStand @kathrynajoyce @JeremyJ_Miller @rowanjacobsen @denibechard @arielramch @Robinhemley @KSharpAuthor @LaurenMarkham_ @JB_MacKinnon @AndyKroll @byjoeeaton @kiliiiyuyan @SarahMenkedick @AntoniaJuhasz @RobGMacfarlane @TereseMarieM @SAGE_News I want to thank @nbj914 for hiring me and trusting me to understand the job and do it well and for never ever not even once micromanaging. He is an extremely talented leader.
@PacificStand @kathrynajoyce @JeremyJ_Miller @rowanjacobsen @denibechard @arielramch @Robinhemley @KSharpAuthor @LaurenMarkham_ @JB_MacKinnon @AndyKroll @byjoeeaton @kiliiiyuyan @SarahMenkedick @AntoniaJuhasz @RobGMacfarlane @TereseMarieM @SAGE_News @nbj914 Thanks also to @Ryanj899, @ben_c_rowen, and @ezass, the rest of our management team. We supported each other and our talented staff and made hundreds of great decisions together. I will miss working with you all.
@PacificStand @kathrynajoyce @JeremyJ_Miller @rowanjacobsen @denibechard @arielramch @Robinhemley @KSharpAuthor @LaurenMarkham_ @JB_MacKinnon @AndyKroll @byjoeeaton @kiliiiyuyan @SarahMenkedick @AntoniaJuhasz @RobGMacfarlane @TereseMarieM @SAGE_News @nbj914 @Ryanj899 @ben_c_rowen @ezass I was always blown away by the quality and quantity of work produced by our staff writers, @KateWheeling, @franciediep, and @TomJacobs_PSMag. They have my endless respect and admiration.
@PacificStand @kathrynajoyce @JeremyJ_Miller @rowanjacobsen @denibechard @arielramch @Robinhemley @KSharpAuthor @LaurenMarkham_ @JB_MacKinnon @AndyKroll @byjoeeaton @kiliiiyuyan @SarahMenkedick @AntoniaJuhasz @RobGMacfarlane @TereseMarieM @SAGE_News @nbj914 @Ryanj899 @ben_c_rowen @ezass @KateWheeling @franciediep @TomJacobs_PSMag Plus @ianhurley77, a virtual swiss army knife, @sophiemurguia, a super sharp research editor, @tofuandwhiskey, social media queen, and @emilym_moon, our newest addition to the staff writer lineup.
@PacificStand @kathrynajoyce @JeremyJ_Miller @rowanjacobsen @denibechard @arielramch @Robinhemley @KSharpAuthor @LaurenMarkham_ @JB_MacKinnon @AndyKroll @byjoeeaton @kiliiiyuyan @SarahMenkedick @AntoniaJuhasz @RobGMacfarlane @TereseMarieM @SAGE_News @nbj914 @Ryanj899 @ben_c_rowen @ezass @KateWheeling @franciediep @TomJacobs_PSMag @ianhurley77 @sophiemurguia @tofuandwhiskey @emilym_moon I have missed @itstaylorle since the day she left @PacificStand. She is the greatest creative director. She did so much to make our work look good.

Ted is a great editor and writer. This story by @monalgable might be my favorite piece he edited for @PacificStand. psmag.com/social-justice…

Ted is a genius and a wonder and one of the finest human beings I know and I will miss working with him immensely.

Everyone believed in the mission of the magazine and gave more of themselves to fulfilling that mission than any manager or boss can ever expect.

Glad I got to be a part of it. The end.

I knew I would leave someone out. @beccaworby is the most adaptable, can-do editor I have worked alongside. She is supremely capable, and looking for her next adventure as well.
