As snakes grow, their skin becomes tighter and more restrictive. They have to shed their old skin to keep growing.

At the end of this month, I’m leaving NBC News and going independent with a newsletter called Spitfire News. You can subscribe for free at the link in my bio. I’m launching as a member of the @beehiiv Media Collective and I’m grateful for their support.

I’ll keep covering internet culture, politics, and media, but now I answer to myself. I’m going to be louder than ever. by @kattenbarge

Today is our last anniversary of becoming girlfriends, because next year we’ll celebrate becoming wives ❤️👰‍♀️👰‍♀️ And what a year this has been, the most intense and life-altering so far. You proposed, I started down a new path in my career, we moved, we traveled further and more often than ever before, we learned and loved each other so much. There’s no one else I could have done it all with and no one who could make me happier. I love you Anna Rose, I can’t wait to spend the rest of my life with you ❤️🌹 by @kattenbarge

When you learn that multiple inescapable pop culture moments were likely orchestrated by the same mysterious publicist on behalf of her toxic male clients, you have no other choice besides calling @kylietcheung for a thorough 2-hour debrief. The relitigation of Olivia Wilde’s Don’t Worry Darling starts now… link in bio 🕰️🍸🚃👗 by @kattenbarge

The way this turned into a highlight reel of all my different hairstyles… But on a more serious note, I’ve been working on a University of Michigan research project with a paid @trustingnews cohort to study how news content creators communicate ethics and other values to their audiences. If you want to help out, there is a super quick, anonymous 5 question survey at the link in my bio that takes just a few minutes! More coming soon! by @kattenbarge

Happy birthday Adam 🖤 Thank you for another year of memories, another year of California, another year of FaceTimes and song lyrics sent via email and seeing each other in new and strange places. Thank you for all the laughter and sometimes tears and sometimes literally holding me in the lowest moments and lifting me up during the best ones too. I am prouder of you and everything you’ve accomplished in every passing year but mostly I am just lucky to know and love you 🖤 by @kattenbarge

You unlock this door with the key of imagination, beyond it is another dimension. You’re moving into a land of both shadow and substance, of things and ideas. You’ve just crossed over into… the Katchelorette.

There’s one woman crazy enough to take 17 of her closest friends to Disney World and 16 friends crazy enough to go with her… and how lucky I am that they’re mine 🖤 The weekend of my dreams may be over but the memories and the Drink Around the World themed t-shirts will live on forever 🐭 by @kattenbarge

Generational vindication for team Edward

I am both grateful and resentful toward Steven for introducing me to straight male social media content because why is Akon doing this
