Too many because that museum traumatized me. Especially because I went before it moved to Reykjavik and was in two small rooms so you just felt surrounded by penises.

A big, meaty piece of content I've been working on for over a month finally came into the world. This is the closest I'll get to feeling like a proud parent (other than watching my cat do "such a big jump!"). Anyways, please read it www.point.me/c/insights/b...

Was absolutely as bad as I expected. And I’m doing it again (trying out a different barn/trainer) on Thursday.

I’m taking my first horseback riding lesson in 20 years today and I am ridiculously nervous. I was so good way back when and I know I’m going to be terrible now.

American war planning usually takes place in highly secure facilities. But the Trump administration planned its strikes on the Houthis using a group chat—and accidentally included The Atlantic’s editor in chief, @jeffreygoldberg.bsky.social. theatln.tc/AmsjsuT6

No, we’ll be assigning on a rolling basis

Katie Hammel @katiehammel.bsky.social · 27/02/2025
Please fill out this form (one form per destination please) and I'll start contacting people next month for initial assignments. After that I'll likely be assigning monthly for this ongoing project.

These'll be a mix of inspiration and practical info: why go/what makes the place great, where to stay, what to do, how to get there on points. Unsure of word count; thinking 800-ish and ~$250 payment. Knowledge of points is helpful, but we can write "how to get there" in-house if you don't have it

My blood is boiling at what the Trump Administration just said at that podium. On Tuesday, I published a warning on Frommer’s by a 4-decade aviation insider that proves DEI has NOT lowered hiring standards at the FAA or in cockpits. Share this important story. www.frommers.com/tips/airfare...

The average cost for a single-day lift ticket in the winter season is an eye-popping $155 in Canada and $260 in the US. So we crunched the numbers on places around the world where it's significantly cheaper (like $13 for a single day lift ticket!). Here the cheapest spots to ski this winter. ⛷️

Hi Bluesky. Some fun bits about me: - content director at point.me; always looking for freelance points writers - long history in travel content - live in SF Bay Area; originally from Detroit - just bought the wrong train tickets for an upcoming trip to Spain TWICE, so clearly a travel expert
