In case you haven't heard, it's decorative gourd season! And I'm obsessed with this Washington Post lede by Jessica Contrera which celebrates occasion.

Send to anyone in in your life who is obsessed with fall! 🍂🎃

Have you ever wondered how the life expectancy of Americans compares to that of folks of similar nations?

Good news! The Post has you covered.

I love this story’s lede, the graphics (which look like tree rings), and the interactive element.

Tell me your results!

Short and sweet and memorable is how I’d describe this perfect lede from The Post’s Dino Grandoni.

Check out his story on the dumbo octopus, here: www.washingtonpost.com/climate-envi...

Another great line from this story:

“If you lived in Baltimore and never shook Brooksie’s hand, it’s because you never tried.”

Be sure to check out Dave Sheinin’s beautiful story on the late baseball player Brooks Robinson.

It’s a heartwarming tribute to someone who had an impact on the lives of people in Baltimore.

“Around here, nobody’s ever named a candy bar after Brooks Robinson; we name our children after him.”

Fantastic story by @myhlee.bsky.social and Julia Mio Inuma on Japan's dementia cafes.

One of my favorite ledes, too. Here's a gift link for your reading pleasure: wapo.st/3ETJprr

Now I'm excited to start my next big project.

Starting today, I want to talk to commenters from each of the 50 states.

This is a long term-project where I'll be looking to chat with 50 of the most fascinating readers of our vibrant community.

I've officially been at The Post for four months(!).

In my short time here, one of the assignments I've enjoyed the most has been interviewing our most loyal commenters.

It's been an incredibly rewarding experience to learn about the folks who help the people's paper thrive. 🗞️

Only members can comment on The Washington Post. Join the fun and let your voice be heard!

And don’t just take my word for it, here’s what our community is saying:
