For @guardian, I spoke with @KamilahVMoore about the fight for #reparations in CA. She told me that despite legislative losses, the movement has "truncated the hope gap" of Black Americans — reparations are no longer some nebulous idea, but a real possibility.

I started reporting this piece before giving birth to my son last spring. Needless to say, the topic holds new resonance for me today. I am beyond grateful to the moms who took the time to speak with me about their grief and hope for the future.

I follow several cooking accounts on TikTok (shh...) and one of my faves is a Cambodian former refugee who shares beautiful, accessible recipes in English and Khmer.

Great read - and something that’s been very noticeable in California these last few years.
i wrote about something weird and counterintuitive that's happening to our planet: it's turning green.
earth is a lot greener today than it was 4 decades ago, even though we've lost a third of our forests, half of our grasslands, etc. how can that be?

My latest column: After 4 years of working from home, I’ve had enough. I crave less work flexibility, enough to literally pay for it by living in a costlier region. I’m moving to San Francisco! 💥 It’s time to get rid of the comfy pants & put on the jeans. sfchronicle.com/opinion/arti…
