The smugness I had in my 20s when I declared I would never text with short hand, “text slang” or use emojis in place of words…and now as a mom with a teen who shops at a store called Edikted.

I don’t even recognize myself. 🤣

I will keep saying it: journalism students are always among the most dedicated, hardworking students on any campus. Right up there with student athletes, but often receive almost no recognition. High five a high school or college journalist when you see them. They deserve it. 🙌

I learned after the Woolsey Fire that a side effect from trauma can be the inability to keep a schedule. I felt this deeply in the weeks that followed in 2018 (and into 2019). I am experiencing that now, too, following the Franklin Fire. Thankful for the people around me with gentle reminders.

Follow up: Strong first outing for Bsky #earthquake response, even for a little baby quake, far better than Threads which was typically boring and not funny. Good job, #LA.
Let's see how Bluesky handles an #earthquake in #LosAngeles and #Malibu! Earthquake Twitter was good fun, and Bluesky will need it to be indispensable in SoCal.
