I definitely wasn't expecting last weekend's flooding in Indianapolis after moving from Charleston! Some good reporting from @mirrorindy.org on what folks saw out there, and how weather patterns are changing. mirrorindy.org/indianapolis...

Floods, droughts and heat domes. Is this the future?
Hoosiers should expect more extreme weather events like this Saturday’s severe storms and flooding.

Raise your hand if you have still things you bought because you needed it once and never used it again 🖐️ Instead of buying that karaoke machine, fishing pole set or power tool, you can check it out from our public libraries: bit.ly/4w7KbK9

During his first mayoral campaign, Joe Hogsett said he would take on “downtown insiders.” Over a decade in office, his campaign has worked behind closed doors to advance donor interests. mirrorindy.org/indianapolis...

I love graduation season! There's something about watching people celebrate their accomplishments that gets me in my feels every time. This year, I wanted to find a way to celebrate Indy graduates for @mirrorindy.org. The result is these gorgeous portraits from Brett Phelps and audio interviews.

People who work on Folly Beach struggle to find housing there. This new program may be the solution.
Folly Beach city council will consider using Lease to Locals, a program that pays operators to turn short-term rentals to long-term rentals for local employees.

The Associated Press and its cooperative nonprofit structure has been one of the final pieces of the legacy news ecosystem to resist the financialization of journalism.
Maybe those days are over. Gannett and Reuters' play here is for Wall Street to move in on and capture the less savory element of AP's business - helping local news outlets paper over the loss of local reporters with filler journalism, ironically in many of the communities that armies of laid-off Gannett journalists used to serve.
It's just the wrong kind of competition.
The logical outcome here isn't the net creation of more local journalism jobs, but to undercut AP's prices and make AP's own journalists redundant. (What happens to a cooperative once its members decide to stop cooperating?) The endgame is to eventually diminish consumers' options and put fewer people in charge of America's journalists and the news Americans see. Gannett deserves to be rooted against.

"There's always going to be a scapegoat because I think, in a lot of ways, that's how people are," Lee said. "But I don't think that it has to be children, and I don't think that it has to be queer children — because they exist." Story from me and Kenna Coe. www.postandcourier.com/news/lgbtq-s...

A few great recent things my team in Charleston to re-intro myself here- The mayor of Charleston asked regional leaders for buy in on his rapid housing plan for homeless back in October, hoping to hit a Dec. 1 deadline. Folks still haven't heard the details. www.postandcourier.com/news/charles...
