New Yorkβs LGBTQ community has lost a champion in trans icon Cecilia Gentili.
As an artist and steadfast activist in the trans rights movement, she helped countless people find love, joy, and acceptance.
Our hearts are with her loved ones in this difficult time.

More migrants coming to the U.S. have turned to New Yorkβs land border with Canada. For smugglers in the region, that's proved a lucrative business opportunity.
For the @timesunion, I investigated the rise of human smuggling in New Yorkβs rural north.

Been working on a fun piece recently!
π§Ά A county councilor in Wales was reprimanded for knitting during a virtual meeting. But she and other knitters say it helps keep them more focused and attentive β and experts agree.

Hallelujah! It only took 2 months of me calling IT every week to finally reach the right person whoβd give me permanent admin access on my new work computer so I can stop bugging them every time I need to update my non-standard software which is frequent.

Really proud of my latest for the @nytimes: Black equestrians with natural hair struggle to find helmets that fit. Itβs a huge barrier for inclusivity but also dangerous βhorseback riding is one of the leading causes of sports-related TBIs. nytimes.com/2023/03/03/sportβ¦

Unusual ways to know you're getting older:
You reset Photoshop's default UI font size

Dear Slack, making user IDs inconsistent lengths (9 or 11 characters) and starting them all with U while also including U as a character that can be used multiple times in one ID is really frustrating for this novice coder.

As a former union member, solidarity. But real question ...
Aren't those Mickey feet? (Disney owns ABC, not NBC Universal.)

I'm walking off the job with over 200 of my @nbcnewsguild colleagues today β
@NBCNews has treated us with disrespect, broken the law and refused to negotiate in good faith.
We love our jobs and want to get back to work, but not without basic protections and a fair contract.

My (old) Echo Show ALWAYS reverts to showing me promotional slides for features and things I don't want, despite making sure I uncheck EVERYTHING in settings. I just want it to show me the time, my calendar, and handle my lights.

I used GoHoller.ai to collect feedback after class yesterday with a simple 1-question survey. Using a QR code, I asked students to answer the question at the end of class. 1/2 the class responded, then AI provided insights.

I'm curious for folks in similar roles (digital editors, newsroom product folks) what apps you use on the regular.
I'm laying the groundwork so IT will grant me that sweet, sweet admin access to my new work MacBook Pro, so I made them a list of every app I use ...
