To say
@feliciasonmez
is brave is an understatement. By putting herself in the line of fire she’s standing up for all of us Post employees who believe in bettering this institution and others like it. Thank you Felicia
I want to be clear: The Washington Post is MY workplace. I want it to be a workplace where survivors of sexual assault are safe, supported and respected. How can it be when a senior editor says a columnist who highlighted assault allegations is “full of shit”? 1/x

by chance & he agreed to meet me for coffee to share advice. I’d been laid off & unemployed for a year. Today, we’re colleagues & he still offers encouraging words. May every aspiring journalist be lucky enough to know someone like Jason

his Parts Unknown episode in Iran brings me immeasurable pride, thank you
@Bourdain
Anthony Bourdain’s dying is the worst news of 2018.
I’ll never forget the post-revolution joy of someone caring about Libya for reasons other than oil/Gaddafi/war, or using his platform to humanize the dehumanized of Palestine and Iran.
RIP Bourdain.

I’m personally offended that the Kardashians use “joon” and now scores of random white people do too without even knowing they’re using a Persian term of endearment, like can we get some credit for our amazing word plz

I just found out my grandfather passed—he tested positive for COVID-19 five days ago. He died alone after weeks of isolation in a nursing home. No one deserves this. And it’s not the WHO to blame

People find money and excuses for everything except supporting outstanding journalism. Journalism is a public service and despite paywalls, a lot of us are underpaid. But we do it because we hope our work will have a real, positive impact. Support journalists and subscribe.
@flattop100
I get that sentiment, and I shared the paywall-free link to broaden reach, but this kind of journalism can't happen without a robust subscriber base. It took 3D modeling, advanced design, visual specialists, project management and months of work.

Neema was brilliant and kind and supportive. I have no words to describe how unfair this is😖
Neema Roshania Patel, a founding editor of The Lily, The Washington Post news site for millennial women, and most recently an editor with the Next Generation audience development team, died Oct. 24 at a hospital in Washington. She was 35.

killing kids: acceptable
kids reading about gay people & slavery: unacceptable
I’m so sorry for those children and their parents. And they won’t be the last. GUNS kill people. books don’t.
In retrospect Sandy Hook marked the end of the US gun control debate. Once America decided killing children was bearable, it was over.
