I owe a great deal of my career to @MaryKelliPalka & Joe Fenton for taking a chance on me after a few cold pitches. I’ve made some of my best friends at this paper (looking @ u @NateMonroeTU & @FloridaHong ). I’m grateful to Duuuval for your endless support & appreciation❤️ #DTWD

I've written three stories back-to-back-to-back today and successfully booked a vaccine appointment for my teacher mom, DO NOT MESS WITH ME.

My 85-year-old neighbor update: tonight she was walking her dog with a neighbor from a few blocks over and his dog (both masked). We were on our porch so everyone stopped to say hello. She introduced me to this man I’ve never met as “famous Emily Bloch, you know. From the news.”

Instagram engagement nerd post: Inspired by the good work @malloriesullivn and @salleeharrison do for their local papers’ IG pages, this month, I’ve been working on incorporating the slider function into something beneficial. First we set the mood, but now WE’RE DIGGING DEEPER 😎

Hi, Florida -- I'm working an important but heavy Sunday shift with the USA Today state team covering the aftermath of Surfside. It's weighing on my heart like I know it is yours. DMs are open if you have any tips or questions. I'll do my best to help.

I was once in a toxic relationship. My ex would say self deprecating things about himself to manipulate me & criticized my work ethic. His signature line was “one day you’ll leave & I’ll be alone & you’ll be doing great & be Twitter verified.” The one missing part‘s finally true.

One year of covering this city has driven me to the hard stuff 😉 It’s my first work anniversary at the Times-Union and I’m so proud of my time here this far. And don’t worry, Duval. I have no plans of slowing down.

Today, my 85-year-old neighbor stopped us while walking the dog to tell me that my articles lately have been “very good” and that sometimes she spots typos in the paper, “but never in your stories.” 🥺🥰
