LA Estate Sale Goers - Thrifting Culture & Side Hustles

LA Estate Sale Goers Hello! My name is Grace, and I'm a reporter with The Wall Street Journal. I'm working on a story about the intense subculture of estate sale shoppers and secondhand thrifters. If you're someone who regularly goes to estate sales, plans your weekends around them, lines up early, travels across the city for the best finds, or has memorable stories from the hunt, I'd love to hear from you. I'm especially interested in people who see estate sales as more than just shopping—whether it's a hobby, a side hustle, or a lifestyle. If you're open to chatting, please feel free to reach out here or email me at [email redacted]. Thank you so much and looking forward to connecting!

Parents Who Used Or Plan Polygenic Tests & PGT-P - Impact On Choices

Did a DNA test or embryo screening change how you live or parent? (CircleDNA, Orchid, GenePlaza, etc.) Journalist looking to chat! Hey everyone! I’m a New York Times journalist working on a story about polygenic testing and screening and how it actually impacts our lives, choices, and parenting. Whether you used a consumer kit like CircleDNA, uploaded raw data to a third-party app like GenePlaza, or are navigating polygenic embryo screening (PGT-P) through services like Orchid—I’d love to hear your perspective. I’m especially interested in chatting with: Anyone who has tested themselves or their children for medical, behavioral, or cosmetic traits. Future parents who are considering, currently undergoing, or have completed PGT-P embryo screening during IVF. Parents (or future parents) who are using these genetic insights to guide parenting, lifestyle, or healthcare decisions. People who haven't gone through with a test or screening yet, but are actively planning to. I want to understand the deeply human side of this: What is motivating you to pursue this? Did your results actually change your trajectory? Did they give you peace of mind, or introduce more questions and ethical dilemmas? Privacy is paramount, so if you're open to a brief, casual chat about your experience, please drop a comment below or send me a DM. (I am also happy to send you an email from my work address to verify my credentials.) Thanks so much!

Investigative Journalists - America's Favorite Photos Voting Math Probe

Any Investigative journalists out there looking for a story? Save some hard-pressed families from wasting time (AND MONEY) on false hopes. This is not my skill set, but has great potential for an impactful investigative article that I would love to read. https://americasfavoritephotos.com/ would be an interesting investigation. Contestants sponsor their favorite photo. They and anyone they recruit get 1-2 free votes a day by sending 1 allowed daily email. Any supporter can buy more votes at $2. each. The end point: There is a dog photo version and others. After contestant photos go through rounds and rounds and rounds of “voting” from regional to general “semifinal to finals” the submitter of the photo getting the most votes wins I think, $10,000. I’ve been sucked in twice by family to “vote” by daily free email as they ascend to the "semifinals" . I have mostly resisted offers to sell me more votes. In my limited experience, "players" come from the needy end of the spectrum. The two individuals I have supported were desperate to fund cancer therapy for themselves or loved ones. Interestingly, in order for whoever is behind these "contests" to make a lot of money, it doesn't seem to require doing anything illegal. What the promoters have done is simply obscure the numbers of photos, “semifinals”, votes, and voters involved (all of which are directly related to the odds of winning), while encouraging the purchase of 2-dollar votes, often for a good cause. At least the odds of winning your state’s lottery are known. To me the story lies simply in uncovering the numbers, doing the math, and identifying: Who is behind it 2 . Money In vs. Money Out Actual odds of winning per $2 investment and comparison with other forms of legal gambling (Lotto?) Who were the “winners” and how did they amass the winning numbers (votes &/or money) This may well not be criminal, but should or could there be any room for regulation, like the gaming industry? Or at least some required transparency. I’m betting someone is making a LOT of money. Attached is my previous query of ChatGPT on the topic. https://preview.redd.it/rjhc1delep9h1.jpg?width=612&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=e5fd353718d6df510e9a8bdcae9a875903a212ff
