Longtime New York staff writer Ariel Levy has jumped ship to the New Yorker, where she will join fellow new arrival Kelefa Sanneh. Here's the official word from Levy:

After college I worked briefly for Planned Parenthood, but they fired me after just one week because I am an extremely poor typist. Almost immediately thereafter, I was hired at New York magazine. As a typist. I kept typing there for twelve years. In 2008, I became a staff writer at The New Yorker.

Cheers, Ariel.
