I didn't get it together to do a thread 📌📌📌 on what I did over the past decade so here's the capsule version: a ton of reporting--a few thousand articles, columns & series--of which I am really proud. I published 13 books, half of which won awards: so humbling & thrilling.

I covered the most exciting & inclusive Democratic Convention in history in my own city. There were more women, POC & #LGBT speakers than ever, as well as the 1st trans woman speaker & several #disabled speakers for the first woman nominee, #HillaryClinton. It was thrilling.

The most important thing I did in this decade, though, was survive. I survived a brutal rape near the beginning of the decade, two collapsed lungs, a pulmonary embolism, seven #cancer surgeries and a life-threatening bleed that paralyzed me a month after the DNC.
