My fight helping others almost killed me. Here to recover, look at DIY projects, gardening, RVs, Star Wars posts, support women’s basketball, Yankees and to uplift others with kindness. Fortunately married to a man just as quirky as me.

Former St. Louis Personnel Director Sonya Jenkins-Gray is suing the city to be reinstated, claiming her firing violated the charter’s anti-discrimination provision.

Congratulations America, He spent $15 million of YOUR money to take a nap at the Super Bowl and leave before halftime… All, on your dime.

New, by @ryankrull.bsky.social at @stlmag.bsky.social: The St. Louis firefighter who pled guilty to stealing from a crash victim has been rehired by the city-- this time, by its troubled Building Division www.stlmag.com/news/st-loui...

Me a few days ago: I really don’t want anything for Christmas. Life: Yeah, you’re getting Covid. Enjoy.

I just ordered KFC FROM DOOR DASH and I don't want to hear it. It’s what I need. It’s Friday night, first day of my retirement and fuck it all to hell. Calories schmalories.

KANSAS CITY, Mo. (AP) — A judge says Missouri’s abortion ban isn't enforceable under new amendment, ensuring legal abortions in the state.

All the breaking news out of St. Louis City today makes me so happy I’m no longer there most days. So much going on, most of it bad news.

NEW: During her 14-month tenure, former St. Louis Public Schools superintendent Keisha Scarlett racked up more than $140,000 of credit card charges on travel, florists, Bath & Body Works, DoorDash, UberEats and other expenses, records obtained by STLPR show. www.stlpr.org/education/20...

Between the SLDC grant stuff, this awfulness, and recent revelations about shameless spending by some school district leaders, my faith in humanity and civics has been shaken to some degree. This is all so wrong. At least good local journalism persists. www.stlmag.com/news/st-loui...

Seems odd Board Prez and Alders are not racing to appoint a blue ribbon panel, special committee, whatever, to figure out what needs to change to ensure this doesn't happen again in St. Louis City. www.stlmag.com/news/st-loui...

If this doesn’t bring you joy, we don’t know what to say #RIPHeavyD

How it feels arguing on social media:

Ashlyn Watkins with the dunk. #GoGamecocks #GamecockWBB

Ashlyn Watkins gets denied at the rim, runs back to force the turnover, and will not be denied on her next attempt

I don't know who needs to know this, but Pro Publica has an online thing that will format a letter to your US health insurance company to demand the records behind a claim denial. (which the insurance is then legally required to provide in most cases) projects.propublica.org/claimfile/

The full board packet for Thursday's 1 p.m. SLDC meeting was posted online this afternoon. www.stlouis-mo.gov/government/d... Resolution 982 includes a 13 page spreadsheet. The projects highlighted in yellow are before the board for approval. Total: $1,090,000 in #ARPAstl funds. (See page 18)

I don't know if Black people do it across the diaspora, but one of my favorite things about Black people is how we will give somebody a middle name, just so the full name feels better rolling off of our tongue.
