My time with The Washington Post is up. I was laid off with hundreds of folks I am so honored to call my colleagues. I covered it all at The Post (really), so now I'm looking for my next adventure. ➡️ kbellware [at] gmail dot com Website update coming soon @postguild.bsky.social forever

Well, I was laid off at The Washington Post today. It's been an honor to work with some of the best journalists in the business. I'm hoping to continue reporting, producing videos and finding long-forgotten archival footage. If you have any openings, reach out.

Whatever you think of the Washington Post at this moment, here's a chance to support the dedicated, hard-working journalists who were just laid off. If you have the means, your donation is most welcome. If you don't, a kind thought and maybe spreading the word to others is support enough 💙

They say you haven’t lived until you’ve been laid off. I’ve now lived once. Gutted to see so many coworkers lose their jobs at the Post today. If you know anyone who’s hiring a politics/culture/magazine writer with a law degree who also speaks Spanish: jesusrodriguez.work

I’ve been laid off by The Washington Post Serving as this newspaper’s pop music critic for the past 16-plus years has been my privilege, my joy Endless solidarity to my righteous colleagues, endless gratitude to our faithful readers

My story on Elon Musk cutting safeguards at xAI is on the front page of today's @washingtonpost.com. I’m also among 100’s of reporters laid off. I absolutely loved my job my brilliant coworkers & the thrill of reporting @ the center of forces upending the world: AI & Silicon Valley’s political power

After 20 years, I've been laid off at The Washington Post. substack.com/home/post/p-...

Lost my job at the Washington Post today, along with many of the best in the business. I want to keep covering tech and the internet. If you have leads on jobs for me or my colleagues, please reach out. I’m so proud of our work.

I was laid off from The Washington Post today. I know, real original sentence. My first plagiarism in 20 years of journalism. My job was stupid fun and I loved every minute of it. I’m sad for my talented colleagues but sadder the world will not get to read, watch and listen to their amazing work.

Did I write some of these so that *I* remember to follow them? Maybe, esp No. 35:

Pope Francis's personal style — thrifty (for a pope) and unceremonious (again, relatively) — revealed a lot about his relationship with Catholicism. On His Holiness's orthopedic shoes and the papal Swatch:

President Donald Trump delivered on his pledge to slap down some “reciprocal” trade barriers, which led to other countries retaliating. Now, consumers are panic buying due to tariff fears. Here are six surprising items Americans have been stashing away.

What did Americans frantically Add to Cart ahead of tariffs going into effect? Instant coffee, wedding gowns and more. (My own list: canned tuna, wine, spices, wallpaper.) www.washingtonpost.com/style/2025/0...

Breaking my silence to address the most urgent issue of our time: “How Bad Do U Want Me” is NOT Lady Gaga doing Taylor Swift; it is Lady Gaga doing Carly Rae Jepsen. Justice for our queen of catchy, tuneful, self-effacing songs about YEARNING

Is there an arrival equivalent of the Irish goodbye? Where you just sort of... quietly walk in and act like you were always there? Anyway.
