meet the reporter who will take all of our jobs one day

While most of us spent age 9 preoccupied by rewarding hobbies like eating glue and thinking about dogs, Pennsylvanian third-grader Hilde Kate Lysiak is not only running her own goddamn newspaper -- “the Orange Street News” -- but she is also breaking hard news (uh like murder level hard news) AND, more amazingly IMO, shutting down the hater squad that has inexplicably assembled in the wake of her scoop, bc apparently that is how shitty we’ve all decided to be now.
The very best line in her clapback at critics: “There, is that cute enough for you?”

^^YES GIRL YES.
Here’s the Columbia Journalism Review’s original profile on Lysiak, back in the early days of her newspaper when homegirl was casually seven years old. Yep. You heard right.
Deez Links hopes you are living each day like you might win the Hamilton lotto.
