When I met Jessie Jacobs this summer, she desperately needed her home to be repaired due to catastrophic Harvey damage from 6 years ago.
Now, I am *so pleased* to report, the state is taking action. Jessie's house will be rebuilt.

Got so many compliments on my work bag today at the quilt show.

Can I just say, I know we all repeat the chorus, "Twitter is a cesspool," constantly. But I have been floored by the support -- and leads -- I've received here since my newsroom abruptly closed last week.
The journalists on Twitter continue to be solid people. Thanks y'all.

I didn’t see this coming. But for the first time since the week I turned 16 and landed a cashier job, I find myself unemployed.
My plucky upstart of a newsroom, Straight Arrow, announced Friday it would cease all operations… Friday.

I loved working with Maggie Gordon. She’s a brilliant journalist who knows this craft inside and out and she’s one of the most supportive colleagues I’ve ever had. She shows up for her coworkers and for the community. Any newsroom would be lucky to have her.

Maggie helped me build my confidence as a health reporter and I will forever be grateful to her for that. You should 100% hire her if you care about great storytelling.

Maggie is a stellar writer, dogged reporter and meticulous editor who is also an A+ colleague. She makes everyone around her better and I literally could not think of a more quality hire for any newsroom. I miss sitting next to her every day!

For anyone wanting smart, unexpected takes on #Texas politics/culture, @MagEGordon is a great follow. For example, when ICE targeted #SalgadoAraujo bc of his white van, Maggie found more than 1,600 white vans were registered in that neighborhood. Editors, take note!

If you want someone who can launch and run a freelance arm of a business, run your newsroom, write something that will make you cry, or edit something that will bring power to account, think of me.
