I've received some information from OSU about the officers on the roof of the union last night. They were state troopers tasked with "overwatch support." I asked if that includes using scope-fitted rifles, and was told "We don't discuss specific public safety protocols" 1/2

Adding one more reply to say: this obviously comes after a university spox initially said there were “no snipers” on the roof last night. Semantics aside, it’s because of people on the ground, posting what they’ve seen, this can be clarified.

I was a student journo at Ohio State during the height of Black Lives Matter protests in 2020-21. They were peaceful, but large and loud, and the university easily could have considered them "disruptive." But they were allowed to proceed without question.

It’s that I asked for help and got the help I needed.

I've struggled to find the words to announce this. The most important stories @maevewalsh27 and I have to tell did not end when the Title IX cases did. They live and breathe with the five women who shared them with us over the past year. With endless love:

every news org mass layoff announcement hits like a truck for every journalist I know. my heart is filled with so much solidarity for fellow journos losing their jobs, fighting for their jobs and continuing to do great, important work for the public, and democracy, all the same.

ICYMI: The Ohio legislature is sending the Chicken Bill to Gov. DeWine's desk with last-minute amendments defining natural gas as "green energy" and expediting fracking on state lands. "This is a straight-up bait and switch." | for @nbc4i

The first time a medical professional asked for my pronouns — and the first time I publicly used "she/they" — was in the ER this spring. Then they misgendered me in my charts. This story is so important to me, and I'm so grateful to be able to share it:

today I found out that insurance companies don’t cover all dosages of a medication. I cannot afford the medication I need because my insurance decided the dose my doctor prescribed is unnecessary. the worst part is my insurance is through my dad’s employer — a hospital system.

Saw at least one student photographer wearing a "Read @TheLantern " hat. Mad props to students covering protests and an important moment in American history. They've got a lot more courage than I had in school...

I just spent 2 hours — and $75 — talking to emergency vets and animal poison control only to be told that my dog, who ate an unknown amount of unshelled pistachios last night, is likely going to be fine. sure, he’s fine, but I’m ruined

Today is the first “birthday” without Pudge. We didn’t know his actual birthday or his age, so we always celebrated his gotcha day as his birthday. He would have been “6” today. I think about you every day, buddy. I hope you’re eating pancakes somewhere special today.

Just yesterday I gave @TheLantern a training on sexual violence reporting. I’m told I’m “very knowledgeable.” It’s because I have been sexually assaulted more than once. How can a newsroom fairly and empathetically report on something if its “objectivity” excludes experience?

The @washingtonpost just reversed its ludicrous ban on a reporter who survived a sexual assault covering news about sexual assault. @JessicaValenti , on why “writers’ experiences with racism and sexism make them better equipped to write about those issues.”

@BrianStewartOH @nbc4i Thanks for reading my article! You’ll note that the authors of the Cochrane review very specifically cautioned against drawing such a conclusion due to a multitude of factors. That’s also in the story.

I’ve reflected on my recovery a lot this past month. After nearly six years of continuing to live, I am proud of who I’ve become. But I want to emphasize this: the biggest difference between the person I was then and who I am now is not that I’m “stronger” or “braver.”
