That’s a wrap, for now. Here are several things I learned about during my 1st GA legislative session: •Seersucker suits •Don’t correct a southerner’s Latin pronunciation •Expensive watches (which I don’t have) are key to small talk

In a first-of-its-kind project from @pirsonjourn, PJP writers explore the trend of growing old inside prison. Over the last 20 years, the number of incarcerated people 55 and older has climbed from 48,000 to 160,000. Read my opening essay below to learn more. #AginginPrison

First significant story I’ve written in quite awhile. Please read, friends. Every single vote was important in this runoff, for real.

Press release: Many Georgians Still Awaiting Absentee Ballots. The ACLU of Georgia attributes this stressful situation to SB 202, the state’s anti-voter law, which significantly shortened the window to receive and return absentee ballots. bit.ly/3WyMNQk

Georgia's ban on abortion care has devastating effects — especially for Black women, who already face a severe maternal mortality crisis in the state. The fight for abortion is a fight for life-saving healthcare.gpb.org/news/2022/10/2…

Our democracy works best when everyone has a fair and equitable opportunity to participate in our elections. Georgia’s voters have long commutes, work long hours, and have demanding family responsibilities. All are entitled to a meaningful opportunity to cast their ballot.

It's only been about a year since my previous update, so I won't wax poetic about my life choices. My partner and I moved to ATL. I avoided pollen season, and the heat isn't nearly as bad as people described it. Who wears short shorts? I do, friends. I do. Taking all ATL recs.

My first feature in @TheAtlantic is out today! What's it about? Some third of American adults don't worry much about climate change---that's about 77 million people, folks---but their local meteorologist can probably make them care. theatlantic.com/science/archiv…

Covering police shootings isn't easy. So much anger and sadness, all of it warranted. Often the truth is elusive. This is a new one, though. Best of luck to the reporters covering this story in coming days and beyond.
