Pacific Standard publishes stories that matter, stories that, by virtue of their ideas and craft, are capable of creating a better and more just society.
Thankful to @grist for this. There's some solace in learning that @PacificStand is still reaching a million readers a month, that all those still-relevant social and environmental justice stories are still informing people.
We believe that up until the very day it closed last summer, @PacificStand published stories that matter in a way few other publications have done.
So, we’re giving the publication a new home at Grist. We are committing to keep their archives accessible. grist.org/climate/grist-acqu…

Some happy news: Like many @PacificStand staffers, I've worried about what would happen to psmag.com and the many still-relevant stories hosted there. Today @grist is announcing it's acquired PS & committed to maintaining the archives: grist.org/climate/grist-acqu…
There’s not a lot of good news right now, especially not in the media world. But here’s one positive story: @PacificStand, the award-winning magazine that unexpectedly closed last year has a new home. grist.org/climate/grist-acqu… 1/7
Amid all the upheavals in journalism, I hate it when the hard work of writers, editors, etc., disappears from public view.
At minimum, @grist's acquisition of @PacificStand will preserve the amazing clips of its contributors.
But there's more to come.

One small bright spot this week is that @grist is taking over the @PacificStand archive, and will work to keep it available to the public, and free; even though we haven't published in 10 months, the archive still brings in ~1 million people/month: axios.com/newsletters/axios-…
On my final day @PacificStand I’m feeling nostalgic, so I wanted to share some favorite moments and stories. Think of it as a memorial to a job that I loved and that helped me grow as an editor and a person.
For 4 years, @throwin_shadows has been overseeing all of our long-lead, incredibly ambitious features. The biggest and best stuff we’ve done has been improved by her touch. She kept a Post-It that said something like “treat people well” and “do great work.” She did both—and more.

The shuttering this month of @PacificStand, an award-winning media site, is alarming because it did everything right. As IP's Mike Scutari reports, its fatal weakness is one shared by many other nonprofits: overreliance on a single benefactor. bit.ly/2MrczoX@nbj914
"I'm mostly just afraid of how my mom might react if she found out I did get a vaccine, much less without her knowledge or permission."
What do you do when your parents refuse to let you get vaccinated? Ask the Internet.
