When asked about the sexual assault of women, his response was to bully a woman. This Bloomberg journalist began asking about Epstein—"if there’s nothing incriminating in the files..."

Folks sometimes ask me what my husband does, and here's a great article about his work. He's Nathan, quoted near the end.

I feel like research on our little industry is getting smarter and smarter. Nonprofit newsrooms (like ours at @nextcity.org) should check out this report from @lionpubs.bsky.social. It does a truly insightful job of identifying key indicators of growth and sustainability.

Update—it's now my most played song. So, that's cool.

This album is stunningly beautiful. So grateful to have it—and just realized the music was performed last night, a mere hour and a half away from where I live, and I didn't know!

My newest. 🎼

If you wondered like me how this story would end…

We're nonprofit at @nextcity.org, and now's the giving season (we sure hope).

um "Job cuts for October totaled 153,074, a 183% surge from September and 175% higher than the same month a year ago.”

Grateful to read such clarity in a news story about climate.

Amid the chaos, I’m often asked about our role as a journalism organization focused on solutions. So I wrote this letter to readers about my biggest hope for @nextcity.org in 2026. The idea is that, solidarity itself is a long-term solution. Our coverage can prove it's possible.

Glad to see a follow-up on this story.

Kinda cool, here we learn what Martin Luther King Jr's favorite song was—

This article’s treatment of a “third term” is abhorrent. Oh journalism, what happened to you? We used to fight.

Check out the list of companies that paid to have the White House's East Wing demolished.

Not a single mention here of people who purposely mispronounced Kamala Harris' name—so, you can be sure this article has no idea what it's talking about.

A little experiment—something about Frédéric Chopin's B section of "Raindrop" for piano always sounded epic, so I created this orchestral arrangement to experience that scale.

I wrote something a little different. Probably because I’ve been wanting to go see the new Tron movie.

Clair de Lune is now No. 3, moving up the list of my most-played pieces. That's a success for me.

Written for a funeral in a film. Can you imagine it for another scene?

For the first time, I wrote the music for a short film, "Redlining." And I'm proud to share the pieces with you here now.

Yes, I try not to obsess over how many listens my songs have on SoundCloud. With that said... The "Top 5 Most Played" has a new entrant moving up the charts. It's the arrangement of Clair de Lune I did for an upcoming short film—

I wrote the score for an upcoming short film. And the trailer just came out, which uses this arrangement of Clair de Lune I created.

Look up the history of the "Lavender Scare" in the 1950s and 1960s. This week, a queer FBI agent was fired for having a rainbow flag on their desk. To be clear, the flag wasn't on display now. It was on their desk last year, before Trump was even inaugurated.

What's next in this series? (Wrong answers only.)

Here's another piece in the same theme. What do we think?

I'm writing music for an upcoming short film—which, yeah, is pretty cool. I'm learning that sometimes you have to write a piece to get it out of your system, even though you know it won't ultimately fit in the film. That was the case with this piano piece. Instead, I get to share it with you here.

I've been hoping someone would write this story. It's a roundup of alllll the wars Trump claims he ended. Surprise, he didn't.

Doesn't this move support exactly the point Jimmy Kimmel was making?

We are in so much trouble.

Who would've thought? 2 followers away.

Let's say Cracker Barrel just thought its logo was outdated. And the marketing team inadvertently removes imagery important to certain white people, who are outraged over "heritage." So, Cracker Barrel reverts to the old logo. Except that now, due to the debate, we know racists love the symbol.

Trump accuses so many people of "mortgage fraud" that, historically, someone should probably check if he's done it himself.

Disgusting. They're blatant these days, on all fronts.

Everything builds on everything else.

What if we did a Marvel or DC movie where the super hero battles a zombie invasion? Because I might be into that level of chaos. Which super hero?

Feeling pretty cool. We've charted. A plug— Hi, I'm your host. Subscribe to the Next City podcast on Apple, Spotify, or Goodpods!

Spent a good portion of the weekend updating this piece, as one does. When one can't help himself.

Here's an important piece of information from this article... "The verdict could set a precedent for Autopilot-related suits against Tesla. About a dozen active cases are underway..."

I wrote this music for when I need to find peace.

You don't say!

And that makes 40.

I first wrote this piece back in March. Then I sat around and waited a few months to listen again. I decided that my husband (and most other people) hating this sort of thing wouldn't stop me! lol. And here we are. I have a love for music that's in a Steve Reich admiration club.

This was so cool! I was on the radio Tuesday night to talk about our work at @nextcity.org. The awesome folks at Good Work Institute invited me to their show on Radio Kingston. We talked about the importance of still finding and focusing on solutions in these times we're enduring.

About a year ago, I wrote this piece about the Hudson Valley and paired it with visuals of fireworks I'd seen. Well, it's my birthday in a few days, so I gifted myself some new woodwinds and updated the piece. Listen here 🎆

I keep saying it—ownership matters. Especially in media. And that's why nonprofit news is so important to our future. We're proudly nonprofit at @nextcity.org!

Today will be a textbook example. UPenn is in the news, and every major news outlet will cover the story. But virtually none of that coverage will quote a transgender person.

Ordering that a sign be removed because it says "Everyone Is Welcome Here" sends a message that, in fact, not everyone is welcome. And to be clear, that message is racist.
