Come be my boss! EFF is looking for a new executive director, as the incomparable Cindy Cohn moves on to her next chapter. If you have any questions about EFF, I'm happy to chat with you. But here's a bit about what we're looking for: eff.org/deeplinks/2025/11/wh…
I am, ever so briefly, back in the consumer tip-writing game for EFF's Opt Out October. (Led by the fantastic Thorin Klosowski.) Check out this post, which updates regularly all month with small things you can do to reassert control of your privacy. eff.org/deeplinks/2025/09/op…

It remains a nightmare scenario for all the reporters still doing good work at the Post. I want these people to stay employed. You'd hate to lose your job because your boss' boss' boss made a shitty decision, right? So, I get it—of course I do. But I'm standing by the newsroom.
An addendum from me: I totally get why people are canceling their subscriptions. I'm not shaming you for it. But I was a Post tech reporter when Bezos bought the paper and let me tell you this was one of my nightmare scenarios.

Feeling very called out by my former employer. But I think I should suggest to @eff that a wand would help me do my job even better.
(Thanks to @ShiraOvide for the excellent article!)
Us: We'll move to the top floor of the building, and then we'll have no noise from upstairs neighbors
Building: Let's have a rooftop punk concert while you have Covid.
For some reason, I'm getting Google Alerts for stories I wrote as a DC reporting intern for the @StarTribune Hot Dish Politics blog in 2010. It's mortifying and nostalgic to read 2010-era Hayley's copy. But deeply grateful for the mentors who got me there and lead me here.
Thanks to everyone who asked questions in my AMA with @novapbs this morning! teddit.net/r/askscience/comm…
Better McDonald's sauce for the Jujutsu Kaisen crossover than Wendy's chili.
To out myself as perhaps even nerdier than anyone thought: I'm not always a fan of the SD Gundam kits, but I love my SD Sandrock so much and it makes me giggle every time I look at it.
Hey everyone: I'm hiring. Come work with me to make the world a better place through state tech policy: paycomonline.net/v4/ats/web.…
