Thank you for all your messages over the past week, they've meant so much to me. <3

I am heartbroken to say that my time at BrooklynVegan has come to an end. I am so grateful to have spent 9 years working there full time, and about 6 more before that contributing photos. It has meant everything to me, especially working as part of our amazing small team who are some of my favorite people in the world. I met people doing this who have become lifelong friends and who I can't imagine my life without, and I feel like this is probably the coolest thing I'll ever have been involved with.

Thank you to the fantastic photographers whose work I've been honored to run, to the publicists,

promoters, venues, and to everyone who's read BV or followed us on social media. Even you, disgusting commenters of yore (well... scratch that last part, but shoutout to the hummus meh commenters, you were my faves)

I am currently actively seeking full time work in social media, e-commerce, and just about anything else.

For any music opportunities, please consider the awesome Andrew Sacher and Bill Pearis, they are the best!

I adopted Buckley a month ago. It was a little soon after losing Rufus in January but I felt like a shell of a person without a kitty friend at home. I'm glad I did it. He makes me laugh every single day. ❤️

My @brooklynvegan.bsky.social coworkers invited me on to this week's episode of BV Weekly to talk about the Rilo Kiley reunion. I'm not a good talker, spaced on the name 'More Adventurous' and butchered a song title because lol anxiety, but Dave and Andrew are always very worth hearing from!

It delights me to see Pitchfork giving this album, one of my all-time favorites, its due; Tori Amos forever!

This NYTimes Mag AI convo is 👎 in general but this part is especially egregious. LLMs literally cannot reason or think creatively. This is not sci-fi.

Stuff this this is why democrats lost big this election. Sure, let's show more concern for an insurance exec ghoul than the people getting fucked over by hr company's policies.
