any survivorheads in chat

can’t believe i was on a train for six hours and missed the dj fishbob set

I've launched a publication with @palfest.bsky.social called "The Key." I am so excited to share this first issue with you: www.thekeymagazine.com

i passed my qualifying exams yesterday… prepare to be sick of me!!!!!!

DE LA SOUL TINY DESK ??!?!?

Congrats to the @wgaeast.bsky.social members at Hearst on ratifying their new contract! These workers are writers, editors and creatives who bring magazines like Cosmopolitan and Esquire to life. And now, they have better wages, better benefits and more!

St. Louis is likely to receive an additional $86 million in state funding for disaster relief in response to the May tornado. The Missouri House voted to pass its supplemental budget bill for the remainder of the fiscal year, which ends June 30.

about to get bloodwork done, plz send good energy for no passing out (as i did during the Great Bed Bug Incident of 2025)

You actually don't need a photo ID for many library systems, just proof of address in area it serves. I just got a library card in Cincinnati recently (2nd largest system in the country after NYC!). People would know this if they utilized one of our country's greatest assets: our public libraries.

St. Louis officials may shift more than $6 million away from their original projects and toward fixing water infrastructure issues. The public utilities director called the funds a "necessary lifeline” as the department struggles with constant repairs.

evaded the 27 club: 😀 migraine on birthday: 😔

so so excited to finish qualifying exams this month so i can get my personality back (video game, gym, trombone, craft) after a year of red bull and cry

If any disabled/chronically ill people in the South want to share any stories of how they've been impacted by the storms, please reach out at [email protected] or signal juliametraux. 49 This is for a potential @motherjones.com story, thanks!

today i taught benjamin franklin and don’t worry because i told them he electrocuted a turkey!!!!!!!

1/ We are entering year 3 of bargaining for a fair contract that protects both the workers who produce our award-winning, high-impact journalism as well as the quality of that work. We are also entering year 3 of @propublica.org management fighting against a fair contract. tinyurl.com/43znke28

teaching a class on the history of democracy in the united states this semester…… if you were 18-22 right now what would make you feel more prepared/comfortable/supported as a student in These Times

“If cis journalists don’t step up to the task this year, it’s no longer a failure of their research. It’s a failure of their humanity.” www.niemanlab.org/2025/12/cis-...

oh no all the fake journalists funded by billionaires to divide the electorate and destroy informed consensus are now fighting with each other

okay i got a free apple watch, where do people get their wrist bands??

2025 tested St. Louis’ resilience — from deadly tornadoes to political upheaval and personal loss. STLPR’s year-in-photographs capture grief and joy, and a region shaken but not defeated, weathering the storm together. Take a look back at 2025 in photos.

in case you forgot

where are my mimosa girlies

rosetta stone lifetime membership….. y’all aren’t ready

Carla Murphy offers a critical power analysis of higher education’s relationship to community and to newsrooms, charting a vision for what a healthier, more reciprocal dynamic could look like. Read the full piece in our Civic Media Series 👇 objectivejournalism.org/2025/12/stud...

our neighbors moved recently and left behind two cats who I’m feeding. i wanted to build a shelter for the winter so i posted in the neighborhood group to see if anyone had totes or coolers they don’t need anymore and someone bought me a shelter then two other people dropped off cat food!!! hope!!!

Today, on #MovementMediaMonday we join partners across the country in amplifying media that moves us toward justice. Truth-telling is an act of resistance. For the people who write from inside prisons, it’s also an act of courage.

back in the 217….. should i get a portillo’s cake shake and absolutely ruin my digestive system yes or no

1/ Last week, we delivered a letter to @propublica.org's board members, urging them to direct management to agree to a fair contract now. www.propublicaguild.org/updates/to-t...

asbestos is getting removed today!!!!!!

One of the worst things about Politico is its anonymous sourcing that lets unidentified people take cheap, personal potshots. Not defending Karine Jean-Pierre, just saying that good journalists don‘t allow this. And news flash: It’s possible to “speak with candor” and be identified at the same time.

The government abrogating its responsibility and leaving nonprofits to pick up the tab means that this is a VERY good time to donate specifically to local direct services organizations.

anyone know why my car might be clunking when i turn it on…. and then shaking……

to the stocks!!!!!! (back in DC for friends and faire)

reupping this for my journo friends in light of "operation midway blitz" starting: objectivejournalism.org/2025/07/how-...

IF YOU SEE AN ENCAMPMENT BEING CLEARED TONIGHT DM us location & what details you have (what police, how many, movements, vehicles) If you see someone being detained get as much info as possible: - legal name - DOB - emergency contact/case worker - where they are being taken (precinct or hospital)

From empty commissary accounts to rising hate, people in my prison are feeling the hidden costs of the Trump administration’s actions.

at the subaru dealer for maintenance and they’re playing marina….. i’m safe here

hope CBS is ready for ratings to drop, this was a tentpole

this was, perhaps, the most telling, indicative, and damning thing of the state of baseball media — where is everyone else? my story in @objectivejournos.bsky.social objectivejournalism.org/2025/07/medi...

“I have lost a third of my body weight after nearly 21 months of war … Once [hunger is] controlling your own mind, you cannot think straight. Once you feel that your stomach, your brain, your body, are craving something, you will not be afraid of anything. You will do anything to get food.”

This is among the best explainer I’ve seen so far regarding the Texas floods particularly because Alan ties together the meteorology issues and the emergency management issues.
