Today was not a good day.

We're going through a tough time at NPR, but I got to help produce this episode of PCHH, and that's what's making *me* happy this week.

Purim costume 5783: 🕊️🌈 "And the dove returned to him at eventide, and behold it had plucked an olive leaf in its mouth; so Noah knew that the water had abated from upon the earth."

Today begins the 3-day process of @npr layoffs: 10% of the staff. Such a very sad moment in the organization's proud history. I've been speaking with folks whose names you know well... and many whose names you don't. So much talent will be shown the door: A huge loss for America.

Even though NPR has decided to discontinue the Louder Than A Riot pod after this season and lay off our production team, our team members have graciously agreed to finish out this season for now. Cause, like us, they believe these stories are way too important not to be told.

RIP Invisibilia. What a beautiful show, created by brilliant, talented people.

Passover begins at sundown. If you still don't have food figured out for the holiday, put down that bag of potatoes and check out this list I wrote for DCist.

The “government-funded media” label is misleading. Less than 1% of NPR’s funding comes from CPB & federal agency/department grants! That funding is critical, but hardly the full picture. You can continue to find NPR’s editorially independent journalism here ⬇️

I am confident that the greatest gift one can give on Mother's Day is quality time. How and where you choose to share that time is the question. My latest round-up for DCist provides a few ideas.

With weather this gorg, you know you're thinking about this summer's outdoor movies. Here's a rundown of those that have released their lineups: bit.ly/3O6WPGi

Love this.

From food and drink events to music festivals to Pride, Capital Fringe, and beyond, summer 2023 could be your busiest season in years. Check out my latest for DCist!

One of these days, Pattie Gonia needs to make a coffee table book of all their amazing, nature-inspired outfits. 😍 Anyway, do watch this lovely and educational little video. 🌈
