I love that @alanburdick.bsky.social and the @nytimes.com are running videos and interviews like this one with John Green, about the tragedy of TB that is barreling down the tracks for tens of thousands of people: www.nytimes.com/2025/03/27/h...

I told my kid I was about to go Seven Fishes if I didn't get some help in the kitchen. You have never seen him run so fast.

I'm a big ham, and I love having the opportunity to read my own magazine pieces for the audio version. But when Julia Whelan does the reading instead, I BOW DOWN--thank you, Julia, for your pitch-perfect narrating of this IVF mix-up story in the @nytimes.com: www.nytimes.com/2024/11/25/m...

This story happened in California. I kept thinking: How would this have played out in NY? I can't help but think it would be different! No shade to NYers, they're my people--but we're not the most easy-going crowd...

What's amazing to me is how little the law came into it--in the sense that the families, for the most part, simply worked out what they were going to do. Guided by precedent, I suppose, but mostly by their guts and their mutual kindness.

This story--about two families whose embryos were switched in an IVF mix-up--was a privilege to report and write for the @nytimes.com . Their grace and generosity in the face of an impossible situation moves me to no end: www.nytimes.com/2024/11/25/m...
