A beautiful, personal meditation on #MothersDay from @chloeellingson and @MichelleWSiu – two photographers and new mothers who stayed connected through a pandemic, an ocean apart theglobeandmail.com/canada/a…

The mothers’ days: Two friends comfort each other through pandemic parenthood

Separated by an ocean, photographers Michelle Siu and Chloë Ellingson stayed connected during COVID-19 through thousands of text messages, navigating loneliness, pregnancy and new realities

"We need to preserve the possibility of good-faith disagreement without dire professional consequences." Fuck you, the entire last 2 months has been Black and other journalists of colour telling you about professional consequences for "good-faith" disagreement.

As protests grew nationwide, an ethics debate emerged among journalism practitioners about documenting protests and the potential for unintended harm towards demonstrators. So we decided to craft a statement and provide a list of resources to provide context and consideration

Wow. Really overwhelmed with the response to my story about the real 'Lord of the Flies'. So so happy that this extraordinary tale is finally - after 50 years! - becoming famous. Here's a thread (with pictures!) on how I found the 'boys' three years ago /1 theguardian.com/books/2020/m…
The real Lord of the Flies: what happened when six boys were shipwrecked for 15 months

The real Lord of the Flies: what happened when six boys were shipwrecked for 15 months

When a group of schoolboys were marooned on an island in 1965, it turned out very differently to William Golding’s bestseller, writes Rutger Bregman

It's one of my dearest wishes that, in this period of hell, we normalize doing about 20% less, collectively. My review of life in general: way too much going on. Like trying to read every single placard while running through a museum while appreciating art nytimes.com/2020/04/01/style…

Stop Trying to Be Productive (Published 2020)

The internet wants you to believe you aren’t doing enough with all that “extra time” you have now. But staying inside and attending to basic needs is plenty.
