And that’s a wrap! It’s been an honor and a pleasure to teach these amazing @smpagwu.bsky.social #JournoLife students. They weathered my struggling voice 😫 all semester. I know they won’t all become journalists, but they will have an impact on how their circles understand reporting & news judgement.

The hallmark of my @smpagwu.bsky.social news writing students this semester has been their ability to take my advice & follow instructions. I told my students to raid my social media accounts for their local journalist profile story. Now I'm grading 20 stories about my #JournoLife friends🤣

Bromo Seltzer Tower art FTW🎨. I’m loving my latest art addition from Art by Barton . It’s perfect with my nautical colors and Maryland themed rooms. Just another reason why I enjoy the Christmas Village in Baltimore 🎄.

Q: I'm starting to learn the local DMV dance companies/studios. What local dance groups around the DMV have strong "Land of Sweets" performances in their "The Nutcracker" holiday show? I'd seriously pay to just see those parts performed with heart and passion. youtu.be/ygDnPpcVetA?...

I’m midway through the Institute for Independent Journalists “Master the Business of Freelance Journalism” course & stopping to reflect on this being such an enriching experience. Financial, client & systems lapses caused many issues for me this year. I’ve learned a lot from the instructors & cohort

It’s soup season. I had fun escaping into a familiar recipe — Italian Wedding Soup. I’ve done this one many times, but this time I learned a valuable lesson. Always check your ingredients before you start working on a recipe. SMH 🤦🏾♀️. Welcome to the Garlic Graveyard 🧄.

If you see any of my @smpagwu.bsky.social #JournoLife students this weekend, give them a big hug 🫂 . So we’ve moved from covering politics to death, injury & destruction—the D.I.D. of news 💀. They may never chase sirens & breaking news, but I have to make sure they know how this works.
