I was recently laid off by ARTnews, a few days before the theft at the Louvre. The terms of my TN work visa means I can't freelance unless I donate the funds to charity. I'm open to new FT roles in business reporting and communications, and am willing to relocate to other cities, including Toronto.

I am proud of so much of the work I did at ARTnews, until my very last day. I learned a lot. I also have not taken a real vacation in three years and have some serious health issues I am still dealing with. The last two weeks have been a big adjustment.

People are always surprised I cannot just go get a service job or let people know I am available to freelance. The terms of my TN visa meant I can't even get paid scholarship money to attend conferences or do class talks. I also cannot leave the country to grieve my layoff somewhere else.

I wrote detailed consignment and auction reports, artist profiles, business stories and features. I published more than 600 articles at ARTnews. I also presented at three NICAR conferences, which inspired me to produce many more quick investigations and do more data reporting this year.

Heh. Apparently copies of the Daily Mail are being given sly wraparounds by activists. Most accurate cover story it's had in years.

dems have so many absolute layups available to them rn (cascading ICE problems! SNAP benefits!) that for a prominent dem to deliberately keep pursuing this anti trans angle instead is somehow even more fucking hateful than it was when they were trying to justify it on ‘strategic’ grounds

Lia Smith was 21 years old and transgender and she should still be alive

They kicked Lia Smith off the Middlebury College Swimming and Diving team for being trans and now, as the 2026 season kicks off, she's dead. Rest in power, Lia. The world is so cruel sometimes.

Mamdani did this without tacking to the center by accepting republican framing and throwing marginalized people under the bus or even apologizing for being socialist; something that party operatives who actually want to win might learn from.
Across the city, more than 164,000 New Yorkers flocked to the polls this weekend for the first two days of early voting, according to the Board of Election, a staggering turnout that nearly matches the entire early voting count in 2021.

Turnout was massive across all five boroughs, with voters telling THE CITY that they were motivated to vote for — and against — the Democratic nominee.

a trans girl in vermont was kicked off her swimming team and committed suicide and at the very same time, the discourse in d.c. today is about whether the democratic party should’ve abandoned her sooner in order to win votes

The Walton family (who own Walmart) are worth over $400 billion, yet many of their employees are on SNAP.

Bezos is worth over $400 billion, many Amazon employees require SNAP.

The people who need help are not the problem.

It’s corporate greed. It’s an unwillingness to pay a living wage.

First the administration cut food assistance for Americans in need.

Now they’re refusing to use emergency funds for food assistance—even though their now-deleted shutdown plan said they could.

They have the funding to keep families from going hungry. There’s no excuse.

Children being ripped from their mother. FUCK THIS
ICE followed the mother into a school and aggressively detained her along with her children.
This is so heartbreaking 💔

New from me:

Elite law firms, multiple media outlets, the D.C. attorney general, and a group of parents accused a teacher of molesting 15 kids. They were wrong.

This piece is two-and-a-half years in the making. And as you'll see, it took some incredible turns, even as I was reporting it.

A D.C. teaching assistant was accused of molesting up to 15 kids. Multiple law enforcement agencies cleared him. But his nightmare was just beginning.
