One more post on here for today...but to my dispirited journos, DM me if you want to talk jobs or just vent. It's been a rough day, week, year (and it's only January.)

My heart goes out to all of the Los Angeles Times staffers who have been laid off today. As someone who was laid off in the beginning of the pandemic by Gannett, I completely empathize with how frustrating and heartbreak this is. It's a gut punch. 1/3
I have not tweeted in a long while but I'm just getting on here to say this is absolutely insane. @Kimbriell is amazing.
I was laid off today. Winning a Pulitzer was one honor of my life. Another, leading the Washington Bureau as its first person of color and only second woman.

Imagine being the only Black person in a multiple college classes and being told that you and people that look like you don’t deserve to be there and that you stole someone’s seat. That’s incredibly offensive.
OK, I feel like Twitter is telling me I need to binge watch @TheBearFX now.
This made me so excited. Been looking forward to having you join @mcclatchy since we met! Congrats, @taylorkendyll!

NEWS EDITORS: I'm trying to see something here, on a scale of 1 to 10 (1 meaning "couldn't care less" and 10 meaning "it's everything to me")...how much does the GPA score on the resume matter to you?
