Wow, they are so nice. Made my day.

I also have sunlight issues. Some plants I have to move twice in a day.

You are so ahead of me. You'll figure it out. I moved the English Ivy even through it looked ok. But in one day the leaves are standing up. I thought they would flow down. Apparently it wasn't happy where it was. Thanks again for inspiring me.

STAFF WRITER AND OPINION EDITOR BARI WEISS HAS RESIGNED FROM HER ROLE AT THE NEW YORK TIMES CITING THE CULTURE OF CENSORING BOTH CENTRIST AND CONSERVATIVE OPINIONS WHILST CLAIMING SHE FACED “UNLAWFUL DISCRIMINATION” AND A “HOSTILE WORK ENVIRONMENT.”

In a powerful resignation letter posted to her website, Weiss gave a remarkable insight into internal New York Times communications – including a staff-only Slack channel wherein Weiss claims her name was placed next to axe emojis. She also cited evidence of institutional-level anti-Semitism at the paper, and Trump Derangement Syndrome.

Dear A.G.,

It is with sadness that I write to tell you that I am resigning from The New York Times.

I joined the paper with gratitude and optimism three years ago. I was hired with the goal of bringing in voices that would not otherwise appear in your pages: first-time writers, centrists, conservatives and others who would not naturally think of The Times as their home. The reason for this effort was clear: The paper’s failure to anticipate the outcome of the 2016 election meant that it didn’t have a firm grasp of the country it covers. Dean Baquet and others have admitted as much on various occasions. The priority in Opinion was to help redress that critical shortcoming.

I was honored to be part of that effort, led by James Bennet. I am proud of my work as a writer and as an editor. Among those I helped bring to our pages: the Venezuelan dissident Wuilly Arteaga; the Iranian chess champion Dorsa Derakhshani; and the Hong Kong Christian democrat Derek Lam. Also: Ayaan Hirsi Ali, Masih Alinejad, Zaina Arafat, Elna Baker, Rachael Denhollander, Matti Friedman, Nick Gillespie, Heather Heying, Randall Kennedy, Julius Krein, Monica Lewinsky, Glenn Loury, Jesse Singal, Ali Soufan, Chloe Valdary, Thomas Chatterton Williams, Wesley Yang, and many others.
