Today, one-day-at-a-time adds up to 9 years of continually abstaining from compulsive overeating, and just over 12 years of living life in recovery ❤ Even when it's challenging, I'm still grateful to feel my feelings instead of covering them up with binge eating.

I don't know many audio reporters who are as accomplished at capturing joy on tape as Emily Cureton Cook. Take 5 minutes to start the shortest day of the year with a delightful visit to the Train Man's world. opb.org/article/2023/1…

There are *so many* journalists that got their start at the EW (me included). The importance of that kind of opportunity for young reporters in a J-school college town can't be overstated.

We're preparing for some unusually cold temperatures and snow here in the Portland area — my first impending winter weather event as a reporter since leaving Houston — and NOT ONE PERSON has asked me if the grid will fail.

Happy birthday to The Evergreen, a new weekly podcast from OPB about the place you call home. For our first episode, we asked ourselves: what makes where you live your home? What is it that makes us feel at home here? What does "at home" even mean? opb.org/article/2024/0…

I’m grateful and humbled to join with my OPB colleagues in unionizing with SAG-AFTRA ✨🎙️📻

Happy Friday! I am thrilled to report that OPB has voluntarily recognized our union, OPB KMHD Creators!!!!!!!! 🏔️⚡️ opb.org/pressroom/opb-…

BIG things are happening in Portland this weekend, and I got to write about it for OPB! Appreciate Sport Oregon, The Sports Bra and Warsaw Center for sharing insights for this story 🏀 #NCAAWBB opb.org/article/2024/0…

There is a FLOOD of articles about record shattering viewership for the #NCAAWBB tournament, and I'm grateful to add mine for OPB to the collection. Big thanks to TOGETHXR Aflac Diana Taurasi and Nneka Ogwumike for chatting with me for this story 🏀 opb.org/article/2024/0…

MOOD:

Lots of talk on diversity in journalism recently. From my perspective: diversity and inclusion brings accuracy, because stories are more fully told. A diverse staff helps accuracy: a basic journalism value. Other benefits are great, but fairness and accuracy are important.

HAPPY WNBA DAY TO ALL WHO CELEBRATE 🥳 Got to chat with @OPBmorning about why it's still an exciting day in Portland even though we don't have a team (yet)🏀 Also, a few legends make an appearance 👀🐐 opb.org/article/2024/0…

I got to take a trip to my former workplace SundanceNaturalFoods for OPB to learn more about the business structure made famous by Patagonia ☀️ It's one of my favorite stories I've worked on, very excited to share it with the world: opb.org/article/2024/0…

The real takeaway of this first week is what reasonable longtime WNBA fans have been saying all along: Caitlin Clark needs a little grace and W vets deserve waaaaay more respect than they’ve been given by people who haven’t actually watched the league.

HAPPY WNBA TO PORTLAND DAY TO ALL WHO CELEBRATE 🥳🏀 (I am not covering for OPB because I have my first case of Covid 😭 - I'm fine, just very tired - but once I'm better I'll definitely be following the economic impact of PDX finally getting a team!) #WNBA #WNBATwitter

Even if this isn’t it, thanks, DT. If this is it, mannnn, thank you, DT.

you mean to tell me...i'm not unique in having this circle of thoughts?

Good morning, especially to Sabrina Ionescu 💚💛💚💛

WHERE WERE YOU FOR THE NYARA SABALLY GAME?!

NY won last night. Women's basketball won last night. And it feels like the Oregon Women’s Basketball community robbed in 2020 also won last night 💚💛
