Stand for something

Back in my spot

When we worked in an office, I couldn't have a giant bear or soft blankies or even a rocking chair.

Friday brightness

Inspiration

Day of rest. I need it!

Today’s agenda

Seems true

Grateful for my remote workplace today.

Thank you for the suggestion.

The gift of Sunday. Day of rest.

No words necessary

Carpet my house with this

Good morning.

Merry beachmas!

Never gets old.

Happy New Year. Now stand back, please. Florida’s new law protecting first responders from people “impeding, threatening, or harassing” them goes into effect Jan. 1. The new law, dubbed the “Halo Law,” was signed by Gov. DeSantis in the spring after legislators passed the bill earlier this year.

2025, let's go!

Traditions.

Today is an excellent day to give yourself the gift of paywall removal. Subscriptions to some great newspapers are on big discounts right now.

Should you create a portfolio website? I talked to dozens of journalists to get their advice yourfirstbyline.substack.com/p/journalism...

Have a fruitful day.

Monday never looked so good.

Just coming up for air

What a day. ❤️

FPL keeps blaming small animals for our random power outages. RIP, little squirrel or iguana.

Some absolutely phenomenal, long-term investigative reporting on the completely out-in-the open, career criminal infested, ecosystem of illegal slot machines in South Florida. Some real jaw dropping stuff in here, with more to come later in the week.

Writing prompts.

My little corner for committing acts of journalism.

Here we go. December rolls in. Got the windows open, but only because the air conditioner broke on Friday.

Day after Thanksgiving. Time to be thankful for another day off. Happy Native American Heritage Day!

Gratitude is the best attitude.

I miss the snowy Novembers of Iowa, but not that much.

They wanted justice. What they got from Miami prosecutors is far from it. amp.miamiherald.com/news/local/c...

Finally as cold outside as in the overly air conditioned offices of South Florida. 66°

"Squeeze the day"

Blue skies.

I was a guest speaker in a college newspaper class this week. A student asked me what my goal in life is. This is it. This is the goal.

Hey folks! It’s time for my third starter pack, and this one is laser focused. Current Miami Herald staff members only! Know what’s going on in your community from people you can trust. Follow them all! go.bsky.app/U99VJf5

If you know someone who should be on here, and has moved to bsky let me know. I tried to search all the folks I know in this category but many are still not on Blue Sky -- so as you & others move to the bright side, send me your suggestions so I can add you to the list! go.bsky.app/G2obm9i

I joined BlueSky a long while back and forgot about it. Kinda like arriving early to the party. Let's get this party started!

Happy Sunday from blue Broward www.miamiherald.com/news/local/c...

Feels like I'm on the right path

Absolutely gorgeous day. The short period of time each year when we are not sweating inside our own house.
