And of course, @aacquisto.bsky.social & @taylorsixhl.bsky.social did — and will continue to do 👀 — incredible work on Kentucky-based Addiction Recovery Care with @propublica.org. This was the first collaboration:

I also edited @taylorsixhl.bsky.social for a time. Taylor was dogged in covering all things Judge Julie Muth Goodman before it blew up into the statewide story that it was this past General Assembly. She's a phenomenal beat reporter, and readers are lucky she's still on staff.
