Alright. I'm shutting down for the night. Tomorrow could be a very busy — and long — day. Y'all are amazing; I truly love Twitter people.

I blogged away through the next many years in Ohio - w/ the exception of 2 when I was working for the Ohio AG's Office - covering it all.
-
In Nov 2009, I moved to DC, started freelancing & then working for
@metroweekly. I covered the end of DADT & the beginning of DOMA's end. -
Three years ago,
@BuzzFeedBen asked me to join@BuzzFeed, which I did, & the past three years - incredibly - happened. And, here we are. -

... am here, that the people who have given me the chances I have been given have done so, and that I have this career. I am humbled.

That, on Saturday, I will have been sober for five years is not lost on me as being key to my story. So, for that, I am grateful as well.

Thanks to my friends and family for their love — & all you wonderful people for always asking me when the marriage ruling is coming down.

Of course, the marriage story is one piece of the coverage I have devoted myself to for years and the expanded coverage I've taken on ...
-
... in recent years and months. So, even once we're done with this, I'm just getting going. I'll be asking "What's next?" soon enough.
-
In sum: Night, all, and be good to one another.
