For John Green, It’s Tuberculosis All the Way Down (Gift Article) The best-selling author “got a little emotional” while talking with The Times about the world’s deadliest infectious disease. Listen to the conversation.

I love that @alanburdick.bsky.social and the @nytimes.com are running videos and interviews like this one with John Green, about the tragedy of TB that is barreling down the tracks for tens of thousands of people: www.nytimes.com/2025/03/27/h...

I told my kid I was about to go Seven Fishes if I didn't get some help in the kitchen. You have never seen him run so fast.

By the way, where do I sign up for the guided tour through your head?

Jodi-thank you.

An I.V.F. Mix-Up, a Shocking Discovery and an Unbearable Choice Two couples in California discovered they were raising each other’s genetic children. Should they switch their girls?

I'm a big ham, and I love having the opportunity to read my own magazine pieces for the audio version. But when Julia Whelan does the reading instead, I BOW DOWN--thank you, Julia, for your pitch-perfect narrating of this IVF mix-up story in the @nytimes.com: www.nytimes.com/2024/11/25/m...

This story happened in California. I kept thinking: How would this have played out in NY? I can't help but think it would be different! No shade to NYers, they're my people--but we're not the most easy-going crowd...

And I love your books!

What's amazing to me is how little the law came into it--in the sense that the families, for the most part, simply worked out what they were going to do. Guided by precedent, I suppose, but mostly by their guts and their mutual kindness.

Sarah, thank you so much for posting and the kind words.

Ron, thank you so much. Hope all's well in Chicago.

Jen. Thank you. xx

Ah, Pam, you legend, thank you!

An I.V.F. Mixup, a Shocking Discovery and an Unbearable Choice Two couples in California discovered they were raising each other’s genetic children. Should they switch their girls?

This story--about two families whose embryos were switched in an IVF mix-up--was a privilege to report and write for the @nytimes.com . Their grace and generosity in the face of an impossible situation moves me to no end: www.nytimes.com/2024/11/25/m...

She nailed it! Someone should nominate that write-up for year's most apt write-ups list!

Wow, thanks Stephen! Your powers are mighty! HI all! Isn't Stephen THE ACTUAL BEST?

Ah, Jen, you are too kind! Hello and nice to meet you, followers of Jen--any friend of the great @jennifersenior is a friend of mine!
