I'll probably write more Warren stories at some point but it's worth looking back on the great journalism about her during the race
1st up: hometown Boston Globe w/ @jessbidgood and @lizcgoodwin on Warren's HS debate days which Bloomberg's team shuda read bostonglobe.com/news/politics/…
.@AnnieLinskey has covered Warren inside and out for years and has written more tentpole pieces than anyone at the Globe and Wapo. Here are just 3.

Then there's the dive into Warren's record in the Senate from the indefatigbile @misyrlena
bloomberg.com/news/articles/…
and this great @joshjame story picking up on voters not really caring about the details of Warren's plans, just liking that she has them.
wsj.com/articles/detai…
.@AsteadWesley's fantastic story on Warren struggling to earn significant support among people of color despite earnestly courting activists and diligently discussing race in her plans.
“grass tops vs. the grass roots”
nytimes.com/2020/02/28/us/…
.@ShaneGoldmacher had the best best breakdown of Warren trying to grapple with Medicare for All last fall
nytimes.com/2019/11/17/us/…
.@alivitali was early in sensing how Warren's plans was catching on among voters. Lots of DC editors had written Warren off at the beginning but Ali was prescient in sensing here potential to become the front runner months later. nbcnews.com/politics/2020-…
.@mj_lee obviously had one one the biggest stories of the cycle w/ the Bernie-Warren woman can't be president meeting.
cnn.com/2020/01/13/pol…

but I also think about her and @GregJKrieg piece on Warren's courting of Native American leaders. cnn.com/2019/08/18/pol…
.@AmandaBecker and @josephax had somehow cover so many things at once and always wrote some of the sharpest pieces with great context including this one on the night of the NH primary.

thank god for the crew of Warren TV embeds who were fun, kind, and sent me their Otter recordings whenever my phone failed me (which was often).
@DaniellaMicaela
@cbsza
@deepa_shivaram
@cheyennehaslett
@SashaPezenik
@taraprindiville
And more importantly, they are all great journalists who somehow wrote great stories, carried around tons of equipment, and who are probably going to be very famous and great on tv. You should follow them all.
on the mag front, @juliaioffe Summer of Warren piece was fabulous. gq.com/story/the-summ…
.
@nathanheller in Vogue was such a great piece of writing or reporting.
vogue.com/article/elizab…
.@rtraister 's three pieces going all the way back to 2011 were all fantastic and invaluable resources to getting EW.

writing & reporting*
.@IsaacDovere on Warren's ambition to create a movement and the desire to make "Warren Democrat" a thing was prescient in many ways. theatlantic.com/politics/archi…
this @tessastuart interview in Rolling Stone should always be remembered for this exchange defending George Bailey and Bailey Savings and Loan

rollingstone.com/politics/polit…
.@michaelkruse is always a must read and his look back at Warren in the classroom as the financial crisis is unfolding is no exception. politico.com/magazine/story…
.@aseitzwald recent one w/ Warren reflecting on the campaign trail has stuck with me. nbcnews.com/politics/2020-…
also @AsteadWesley and @jmartNYT on Warren losing her finance director early was one of the few leaks the Warren campaign had.
nytimes.com/2019/03/31/us/…
.@ryangrim who has been covering Warren forever, was and still is a must-read from back in June. theintercept.com/2019/06/27/eli…
I'm sure I'm negligent in missing some and will update thread when I think of them. In the meantime, this is the piece I spent the longest on which documents Warren's war with Obama's economic team.
politico.com/magazine/story…
I Already remembered one I forgot. I’ve told her so irl but @rubycramer captured an important part of Warren’s candidacy from the first trip.

Some Warren campaign staffers don’t have a good understanding of campaign journalism.
Not my job to “actively support the candidate that you were assigned”
It is my job to contact as many ppl as possible rather than just rely on what the campaign wants to give me.
Cool.
Campaign ends and you’re looking for a job and spend your day dunking on one of the reporters who covered you the longest.

Scoop w/ @hollyotterbein
NV Dem party chair & CA SoS called the police this wknd after svrl Bernie supporters came to their homes w/ bullhorns late at night to warn abt elections/2016
They FB live’d it
Jeff Weaver condemned the tactics
politico.com/news/2020/02/2…
Maria Estrada, a self-described "Berner" from CA who went to NV and helped lead the actions (NV at after 11pm), defended them: “Protesting is our right — whether they called the police or not is irrelevant.”
1st video was from NV. This is from Padilla's home in LA after 9pm
NV’s party chair declined to comment. A person close to him said he didn’t want the story to come out before or after the caucuses b/c he “knows how much this needed to be viewed as a fair process for every candidate after 2016”
He confronted them after they’d been there an hr

the Brooklyn public library just digitized almost 1,000 newspapers from 55 NYC high schools, including...Bernie Sanders'!
god bless libraries.
Dec. 1958: "Bob Rosenbush and Bernie Sanders, two of the team's most consistent runners, have been chosen to act as co-captains"
March 1959: Bernie fulfills campaign promise for an "alumni all-star game" w/ proceeds going to "the school's adopted Korean child" [??]. Bernie supporters will love this line: "Bernie Sanders made a campaign promise to bring back the stars, and that is exactly what he is doing."
October 1958: honestly, Bernie seems like he was pretty good at cross country. "....miler Bernie Sanders. With these four to spearhead a powerful assault aided by the rest of the strong team, Madison should prove to be a rough assignment for any opponent."

I had my last auditory rehab appointment with my SLP today, and I have some thoughts on that. (TL;DR: it was a positive experience, but it came with high demands on my time/energy. I love my CIs, but what I love more is having options for communication in 2 languages.)
I began auditory rehab immediately after my 2nd CI was activated in January. The day after I finished editing and sharing my activation video with commentary in ASL, which was about 3 days post-activation, I had my first session.
I’m lucky that my insurance paid for 4 months of sessions. I’m also lucky that because I’m an Au.D. student and know where to look to find SLP services in my area, I was able to see a SLP who knows ASL and is accepting of the fact that I communicate daily in both English and ASL.

This is a VERY LONG thread about #journalism #ethics #bias #transphobia #islamophobia and newsroom culture Please stick with it, there are some pretty alarming allegations coming up.
@thetimes @pressgazette @theguardian @privateeyenews
@thetimes @pressgazette @theguardian @PrivateEyeNews This is a story from @thetimes on Saturday. It is one of ten that have touched on trans issues this month.
@jjohnjewell @sambrook @stevenjbarnett @ladaprice @docrussjackson @briancathcart
@thetimes @pressgazette @theguardian @PrivateEyeNews @jjohnjewell @sambrook @stevenjbarnett @ladaprice @docrussjackson @BrianCathcart There was another trans court case last week – one that is still ongoing – but it has yet to make any newspaper in England or Scotland. Which is strange because it involves possibly the most famous newspaper in the world.

alright so, it is time. this is going to be a long, winding, rambling thread. i posted yesterday about demons existing and this interesecting with the world of psychedelia. ive posted about this in the past a little and there is always a huge response, people are very into it.
the thing is ive been hesitant to paint the full picture as i see it for a few reasons. mostly because what i see as the full picture is an intersection of so many seemingly completely unrelated things that its quite a long walk between many seemingly disparate things.
its also seemed completely insane to me for some time. however at this point there are so many connections and threads that sync up that ive actually changed over from this being a crazy idea that i have to actually thinking that this is the most sane thing ive ever thought.
