@WatchdogDiva Yeah—switched focus to local news and moved back into visuals! Hope all's well on your end, too.
I'll join @Suntimes later this month as interactives editor! I'm excited to be: • Back in nonprofit news • Back to focusing on a community • Back at a place with a print edition • Back in a visually driven role —but first, a bit of breathing room between jobs. 🍵 (2/2)

And while I’m being proud of my former team from @AP: @jasenlo123 just published a vivid history of Chinatown in Philadelphia!
The Sixers proposed arena on the doorstep of Philadelphia’s Chinatown – listed by @SavingPlaces as one of the most endangered places in the US – is nothing new. An incredibly ambitious look back at 150 years of development, displacement, and resilience.

At my last job, I kept a lamp in my office for light therapy, since my toddler makes my _home_ morning routine a bit unpredictable. My new workplace has hot desks, so I can’t leave equipment at my desk like that—“my desk” isn’t a thing! This portable lamp has been a big help.
Our budget pick for the best light therapy lamp ☀️, the Verilux HappyLight Luxe is down to $53 in cart (from $70) Buy:

Solid argument here from @Jenny_Alto! I’ll go a step further: Each of you in a newsroom already has _some_ other area of interest or experience—whether from past jobs or a hobby or family. When you see coverage plans in your shop about that topic, consider stepping up to help!
