The Personal Toll of Photographing a Story About Euthanasia (Published 2019)

I spent nearly three years photographing the Paralympic athlete Marieke Vervoort as she prepared to die by choice. It became one of the most emotional assignments — and friendships — of my life.

There will be a time in your life when you realize… If you don’t stand up for something, for people other than yourself, then you might as well just sit down and shut up.

Somehow the media manages to have incredibly low standards for Trump's job performance and impossibly high standards for his criminality.

The Trump campaign has made almost $1-million selling idiotic plastic straws to own the libs. We made a little video about what that temper tantrum tells us about why the world is #OnFire ...and why only a #GreenNewDeal can put out the flames. Watch:

The overpriced scraps of pre-landfill known as Trump Straws can actually tell us a whole lot about why our planet’s on fire ⁠— @NaomiAKlein explains why: interc.pt/30mJw8i #CoveringClimateNow

What's in a (Trump) Straw?

Naomi has been presenting the case for urgent action on climate change for years. In titling her book #OnFire, she's being clever about how we need to respond, but not hyperbolic about what's happening with our planet.

Soon I will be finished with my podcast OBSCURE in which I read the entirety of Jude the Obscure and comment on it as I go. It is the project that has maybe given me the most dumb joy. Catch up before it’s over.
