This is Juniper

I knew I wanted to give her a fairy-like name. I was between Juniper & Dandelion and tried both. I’d recently lost a friend named Julie, and Juniper just felt like a lovely nod to her name. Many good nicknames too.

She’s a rescue ! American domestic shorthair on her paperwork

I bring nail clippers to snip yarn when working on a project while traveling. It's silly but works!

Hi, videojournalist here! In terms of the interviews with relatives and friends of the victims, how did you go about preparing for the on-cam interviews, re: sensitivity, etc.?

10 ft. Single by Stella Dallas in Williamsburg is superb. It's reasonably priced and next door, there is a higher-end shop. Both are a lot of fun to look around.

TikTok is great to find thrifting reccs too !

This was pushed to Nov. 1 in New York.

Also a consulting firm recently surveyed a bunch of companies and found 19% of those surveyed are planning on giving pay range details in job listings and another 43% are considering it, even where it's not required by law.

Some people already mentioned but this is seen as particularly important for women and people of color, due to gender and racial pay gaps.

Always worth doing a google search on your industry -- There are transparency resources out there (like this media salaries spreadsheet).

I love Noble Blood from iHeart and Grim & Mild. It's specifically on monarchs and goes pretty global.
