My last cover story at the Washington Post Magazine is a beautiful and vivid essay by Rosalie Metro (@rose_metro) on the unmentionable stage of grief: Relief. A fitting *end* to my time on the magazine and my seven years at the Post. washingtonpost.com/magazine/2022/…

Donovan Nicholas was 14 when he slaughtered his surrogate mom, Heidi Taylor. "It was Jeff," he told 911 soon after. "Jeff is inside me." Last December, the state Supreme Court set him free. This is what happened next, based on 9 months of reporting. abcnews.go.com/US/donovan-nic…

Went to MetLife (Taylor's Version) to further investigate the pairing that has taken over the internet, and the most shocking thing was that the Jumbotron did NOT feature the Swift suite...until I remembered she was actively rooting against the home team. washingtonpost.com/style/of-inter…


For @NatGeo's Space issue, I had the honor of editing @nadiamdrake I learned a lot about alien moons, oceans, and life. As a "X-Files" fan, there couldn't have been a more fitting topic to tackle for my first feature here nationalgeographic.com/premium/articl…


A big thanks to @DeNeenLBrown and @RichardAJust! It was a wonderful night at the @ASME1963’s awards. Congrats to all the winners and finalists! I’m very grateful to call these two my colleagues and champions. Read DeNeen’s nominated piece: washingtonpost.com/magazine/2022/…

Last month the Washington Post ended publication of its award-winning magazine and laid off its brilliant, irreplaceable staff. Today, on their last day at their jobs, magazine employees & @PostGuild members are bringing the magazine archives to @librarycongress for posterity.

I was extremely lucky to edit Damon Young this past year. He was exactly what we were looking for in a columnist. Every week he delivered a piece that was hilarious, sharp, proactive, heartwarming, just plain smart. His final column is all that and more washingtonpost.com/magazine/2022/…


The Washington Post will continue to eliminate jobs early next year, Publisher Fred Ryan said Wednesday, weeks after the paper announced it will shutter its Sunday magazine and lay off 11 newsroom employees. washingtonpost.com/media/2022/12/…

My last piece for @wpmagazine went live yesterday. I talked to abortion patients and providers about their experiences since the end of Roe. Thank you to editor extraordinaire @alexamcmahon washingtonpost.com/magazine/inter…
