Attention visual journalists: I’m always open to pitches for @sciam.bsky.social’s Graphic Science column. The column tells concise stories on topics in science via graphics (dataviz, illustrated diagrams, comic-style explainers, etc). It appears in both print & online. DM me for a pitch guide.

The Washington Post just laid off its entire award-winning photo team. They were our eyes in places we'll never see. It's a horrifying loss at a time when lying governments, propaganda and AI slop are on the rise.

I'm not very active here, but given the news: I'm one of the hundreds of reporters laid off from the Post. I worked as a graphics reporter, mostly covering the U.S economy and politics.

Don’t forget about Daniel @sadbumblebee.buzz himself, who is a brilliant and compassionate writer, climate reporter, and developer — among many other talents.

The Post was foolish enough to unleash a bevy of the world’s most talented multi-disciplinary journalists out there for their competition to scoop up. These are some of the most hard working and skilled people I know.

Save this one and reshare it please! 📊

News: I was cut yesterday in a newsroom-wide layoff affecting 300+ staff at The Washington Post.

I spent the last decade leading and building the award-winning Graphics team. I'll miss them.

I'm now exploring senior graphics, cartography, or leadership roles. Intros welcome.

Today I was one of the many laid off from the Post. It is a dark day for news. For now I am going to take some time with my family before figuring out where I go from here.

In the meantime, please consider supporting my colleagues. Any contribution helps: www.gofundme.com/f/standing-t...

I was laid off from the Washington Post today, along with hundreds (!!!) of incredible colleagues. If you need a data journalist, chart designer, or wacky-idea-specialist, give me a shout!

It's not, though. To do their best work, amazing reporters need not only stuff like health insurance, but also editors, fact-checkers, IT support, equipment, security and training in hostile environments, lawyers, brilliant colleagues of every stripe... losing that infrastructure is devastating.

Glad I got to be a guest of a friend that had worked in the White House and got to watch a so-so Magic show at the Kennedy Center before whatever this is occurs.

For nearly a century, the @washingtonpost’s foreign correspondents have been on the ground for the world’s most pressing stories. Now, our desk is facing potential steep cuts. Washington needs us. The world needs us. If you read us and need us, please watch this video and share.

I felt obliged to write up an overview of all of the Fulton County fraud claims that have already been made — and dismissed. Let me know if I forgot any. www.pbump.net/o/some-thing...
Some things you should know about Fulton County, Georgia
The county has already seen numerous claims about election fraud — all debunked. There's no reason to think that Kash Patel's FBI will find something new.
