I truly believe we are depressed and anxious people a lot of the time, but we are also incredible and we have more knowledge and help accessible to us than ever before. Never be afraid to seek help! 💚 #WorldMentalHealthDay #MentalHealthMatters

I don't remember Assassin's Creed Black Flag fighting being this...nerve-wracking? Maybe because I've been playing on normal and not easy. I prefer stealth, which is *rare.* Enemies not being fazed by smoke bombs and just stabbing you feels new. LOL I also need to adjust the wild camera movements.

This feels like a HUGE swing. And for those who remember the first Marvel Zombies, I'm pretty sure Khonshu is "What if Moon Knight but Blade?"

Was trying to figure out what to do with my additional PTO and *OH MY GOD* I guess I am basically disappearing after Thanksgiving. Lord, this timeline is forcing me into hibernation.

Dear Lord. News is bleak. Tuning out for a bit with TV and video games. (Weird, I know.)

Not controlling, but I was rewarded for high academic achievement. That translated to "You must get an education in order to succeed." This became internal pressure. I have parents who grew up in the Jim Crow South, so being successful and making them happy has been a priority, even as I get older.

We can't use ours until we get the prescription lenses. Ended up having to use a third party. Kinda sucks. Thanks for the heads up!

The lawsuit stems from allegations that Black land-grant universities like Alabama A&M have been historically underfunded with long-term consequences for the institutions and their students.

What happens when one insurer covers 84% of a state? We examined the reach of Blue Cross Blue Shield of Alabama, the debate over its influence, and what it could mean for hospitals, doctors and patients statewide.

Oh, God. I went back to Reddit. So many people forget what country we live in and that the repercussions are different for everyone. That's all I have to say without revealing Lanterns spoilers.

I sing loudly to music in the car to avoid road rage. I understand. And one day that'll probably mean scream-singing, "BYE BYE BYE" to a driver that won't use their turn signal.

For @prismreports.org, @us.theguardian.com & @enlacelatinonc.bsky.social, our fellowship coordinator, @tinavasquez.bsky.social, investigated Florida Orange Gold’s disregard for the health of their migrant farmworkers in North Carolina and Florida. Read the story at tinyurl.om/farmworkersheat.

Image description from Prism: “Daysi Romero Arellano and Carlos Vargas Moreno inside their home, in Raleigh, N.C., on Sept. 18, 2026. Vargas Moreno, a former farmworker on an H-2A temporary visa, experienced heat stroke while working in a field in 2022 that caused permanent injuries. He relies entirely on his wife for care.”

My column this week. I read over 200 Alabama campaign websites to put together our state voter guide. (Journalism: It’s glamorous.) And amid the bluster and endless photos of candidates appearing to be lost in the woods, I noticed some trends.

Amid the posed photos, posturing and ceaseless quests for the center, at least five trends in state elections emerged.

Lesson learned: never go to Reddit. LOL They correctly predicted several major plot points to #Lanterns weeks ago. Still *extremely* happy with the direction the season finale went. The possibilities are endless. So glad I tuned in!

Fun fact: Carolina Panthers' first record for the 1995 season was 7-9. Apparently, this was impressive for a brand new team. But I remember seeing Panthers merch on sale that next season back in SC. LOL Win or lose, it's so nice to see them having such a successful game on TV. #NFL

Happily exhausted after our Culture and Belonging committee at Alabama Media Group sponsored Druid City Pride. Kids (and children at heart) loved our temporary tattoos, and several readers told us how much they appreciate our journalism. Blessings to committee members Hannah, Alaina and Diane!
