Megan Lavey-Heaton

I will be continuing the journalism work that I love (or as I told the sports department, I just can't seem to quit them), in addition to leading our social media team, editing, training, and more.

I'm really excited for this opportunity.

We made a number of really great promotions this week at PennLive, and I'm one of them! I am now social media lead and will be overseeing social media efforts for our site and Lehighvalleylive.com. I will also be the newsroom Sunday supervisor.

We wound up on the 16th floor for Katsucon. So I went ahead and broke out the wide angle lens.

As for song itself, I'm thinking "Let It Be" or "The Long and Winding Road."

I think the last Beatles song, whatever it is, will be 199. "Love Me Do" was no. 100 to introduce them."All You Need Is Love" is no. 150. I think The Beatles at 199 will be paired with someone who defined the 1970s at no. 200. Maybe it's Rod Stewart since Maggie May was 1971.

Washington Post says one-third of its staff across all departments is being laid off The Washington Post says one-third of its staff across all departments, not just the newsroom, is being laid off.

I'm thinking of my colleagues at the Washington Post today. Eliminating your entire sports department in the home of numerous pro sports teams two days before the Olympics ...

By the time I was in junior high in the '90s, we had those Channel 1 TVs that also, for some reason, had complete cable packages behind them at my school. It's how we watched the OJ Simpson verdict in 10th grade.

A reminder with the Challenger anniversary tomorrow that yes, a generation of us saw this happening when we were in school.

Hello from elsewhere in the audience! This has really been a blast.

If I am getting snowed in, at least I get to see Taskmaster first.

They do. He’s currently laying on my head, because when I’m in bed, my pillow belongs to him.

Me: The thing keeping me going right now is that I get to see Taskmaster live in New York on Friday night.

Weather forecast: Would you like that with a side of blizzard?

Me: ... fuck.

So instead of hanging with my girlfriends on Saturday, I have to book it back to central Pa. before weather hits.

I need to know how good this book is. Asking for a friend.

The UK has been added, so you are all set!

Norway has been added, so you are all set!

Belgium has been added as well!

They hate it when we're not where they think we're supposed to be.

An orange cat snuggled against his human.

Whisper just yelled at me to the point where I had to stop what I was doing and lay down with for a snuggle. He led me right to the bedroom the moment I stood up.

And here's the damage to my original case, which was Apple's Techwoven case. Just the volume buttons are no longer usable. It's not a fault with the case. I don't think "snatched out of one's hand during a windstorm" was on the use case scenario and it did its job. My phone is still pristine.

My first iPhone 17 Pro case sacrificed itself saving my phone, so I splurged on the PopSockets one.

Super freak accident. The wind snatched my phone out of my hand and the fall destroyed the volume buttons.

This was the case I originally wanted anyhow.

The Netherlands is on there already and I will add Belgium to the list!

Photo by Pierre Lavie. Yes this is me. And I threw my Leica. It landed on the bass plate with hardly a scratch. Another Photographer grabbed it along with my phone and I was able to track him later. I was held face down tear gas deployed right in front of me and pepper sprayed directly into the eye.

Thank you for letting us know! I will add Norway tonight when the store undergoes maintenance.

Hi! I will add the UK to our list of countries tonight when the store undergoes maintenance. Lack of a VAT number has been the issue there. They make the process way harder than it needs to be.

Yup! We're also expanding our country list for the store, so if there's a particular one we need to add, I'll be doing some maintenance tonight/tomorrow and can add it.

Hi, what country are you in? We don’t have shipping to all countries yet but will add more!
