Thanks for sharing, just applied for the conference & idk if I would’ve known it was open otherwise.

When I was in TV ages ago, there were local, independent companies that could send a copy of any broadcast program for a fee. TV t stations also archive their news programs, but you’d have to convince someone to hand it over

The panic of a looming deadline works wonders 😭

Here’s to the wild ride 2025 has in store! Here's a photo of me on a Multi Axis Trainer at Space Camp, it encapsulates what I expect from the new year.

🌎for 2025, I want to write more sustainability stories after learning from Cornell’s Sustainable Destination Management program.
🌎I plan to write stories that inspire travelers to pursue niche interests & take kids on big adventures. All while supporting local and indigenous communities.

📝I wrote about personal experiences, including when I showed up to a family reunion not knowing any of my relatives, and taking my parents to San Miguel de Allende.
And I have a few more stories that I’ve finished writing. Hopefully they’ll publish before the end of the year! 🤞🏽

📝My stories were syndicated in MSN, Yahoo, AOL and USA Today. Also into local outlets such as the Miami Herald, the Sacramento Bee, & WXIA in Atlanta.
📝I wrote two magazine articles, first, an ancestry travel story for Southern Living and the second, a gem of a restaurant for The Local Palate.

Sleeping less so humans can work more MUST be the final level of late stage capitalism

I may be the only one who likes this? Unless there are excessive notes. But I’m fascinated with what the previous owner connected with

Thanks, Cheryl! I write a monthly-ish column for TFS on Atlanta. But hey! @hannaraskin.bsky.social I didn’t know you were here too 😊

I don’t see widespread Gmail outages, the servers just don’t like MY Gmail at the moment. I’ve tried checking from different sources, recovering data, all the things

Once I got off the main roads, I saw where recovery is still taking place. I talked to a neighbor building a new bridge on his property because the creek on his farm damaged the old one. But restaurants, hotels, coffee shops— those are all open.

It was great! I met a ton of people & walked away with an assignment from a new-to-me publication. Probably the most fun conference I’ve attended since tours are baked in. Happy to talk more about membership, DM me if you’d like.

Early bird all the way. I don’t mind waking up earlier, but I’m exhausted by 4:30 pm and that’s… not ideal haha

Yeah, that sounds rough indeed! I think my excitement for being in a new place wills me awake in a new time zone, but now that I’m home I’m not adjusting back to my routine well.

That’s very cool! I made my first lemon balm tincture but have yet to try it.
My thing is Hellenistic astrology. I love this practice bc it connects us to our earliest human ancestors. I bug all my loved ones with planet movements and have even predicted a few big personal moments
