Friends: Are you a journalist who has left the business? I want to speak to those who left and did a pivot — but not into comms/PR. If this is you, can you DM me? Thanks!!

I’m attending the @nabj winter board meeting online and Founder @coopty (Allison Davis) just showed a trailer of a film celebrating the organization’s 50th anniversary. It was *amazing*!!! #nabj #mediadiversity #journalism

I have a cool 5-minute story to read on my flight to @SanDiegoAirport, thanks to this little machine. And I snagged local art from the Minted vending machine. @IFlyOAKland is a gem of an #airport to consider when coming to the Bay Area! #iflyoakland #travel #letsgo 2/2🧵

#Aviation Queen here! How did I fall sleep on @IFlyOAKland, a no-stress #airport option in the Bay Area? It’s easy to navigate & has great local #food options. The support dogs were great for my kid, who has anxiety. Rental car was quick & easy both ways. #iflyoak #travel 1/2🧵

6 passenger types I hate getting stuck next to on a plane - The Points Guy Are you flying this summer? Don't be one of these types of annoying passengers.

Need to catch up. It’s been WAY too long!! ❤️

Why am I not surprised?

Oh sweet lord! Not only is this Southwest Airlines STL-BWI flight wide open, there were NO preboaders. Sweet! ❤️✈️

Play with AI like your career depends on it (it does) "If you are a journalist or a journalism student, you should play with it, a lot, while it’s still open and cheap."

Truth: you either adapt or die. Many of my contemporaries refused to adapt & are no longer in the biz. Ask I enter my 40th (!) year in #journalism, I’m still here because I keep learning. I just finished a 4-month class on AI. Have questions? Please reach out. 2/🧵

There’s a lot of wisdom in this year’s list of Nieman Labs 2025 predictions for the #journalism industry. This post hit home for me.

I remember the early 2000s, when #journalists turned their noses up to digital journalism & social media, calling them fads. AI is the next wave for journalism. 1/🧵

The line cutter had a huge suitcase and the elevators down were packed. She started wailing, asking for help taking her luggage down 2 flights of stairs. Last I saw, she was still wailing as we all dragged our luggage down the stairs. LOL

The end. 2/🧵

I'm on the ship fighting privileged people who don't understand the concept of line. "I have a flight to catch.”

Um we ALL do. So get in line with us. Do NOT test me this early in the morning!!

I LOVE karma. The main disembarkation door was jammed so we had to walk down 2 flights of stairs. 1/ 🧵

I just ordered six new pairs of glasses for 2025. Can’t wait for you all to see them!!

It’s another gorgeous day in Hilo on the big island of #Hawaii! #travel #letsgo

No matter where I go, American University is with me. Aloha and Happy Thanksgiving from #hawaii! #GoAU #AU85 #onceaneaglealwaysaneagle #travel #letsgo

Our visit to #Tokyo was a great way to celebrate Baby Digital’s 10th birthday!

Mahalo!

It’s a *beautiful* day in Nawiliwili, #Hawaii!

Thanks to NPR’s Lifekit for sharing my #travel backpack.

Good morning from Honolulu!!

Tick tock…

That time I had the freshest sushi of my life at the fish market in #Tokyo in 2015…

Hey! Give us a follow!

Kids: My luggage is fine. All three pieces are in my cabin. I found this AirTag notification on my phone to be amusing.

@travelwithmia.bsky.social I wish you were a follower earlier. I was in Portugal last week!!
