Officially my last guest essay edit as editor-in-chief. It’s an important one.
I’m excited to have the space to turn back to investigations that have been on the back burner, particularly sexual harassment investigations that brought @oliviamesser.bsky.social and I together in the first place. Send tips and anything else to [email protected]
It’s easier not to talk about myself so I’ll praise @oliviamesser.bsky.social for being my dream work partner and trusting me as managing editor. We published stories I’m beyond proud of. And got to work with incredibly dear colleagues and fellow journalists.

A few weeks ago I stepped away from @thebarbedwire.com It feels fitting to have edited this last guest essay on Texas’ abortion bans — my first stories for TBW were on the same topic, and so were some of the best I got the privilege to edit. thebarbedwire.com/2026/05/29/k...
