Same jobs report, two different takes 🧐 NBC News: Adding 57,000 jobs is worrying. New York Times: Hiring is steady. The thing is the NYT graph even shows how we used to add hundreds of thousands of jobs?
June 2026 in Kansas City: World Cup games and a beautiful brown boo/by bird who’s way too far inland!
Hello! Wanna come talk emotions in July at @opennews.bsky.social's SRCCON in Minneapolis? 🙂 I'm hosting this workshop with @asadch.bsky.social because we think journalism needs more space for talks like this one. It's how we'll get through the hard times 🫶 LINK: 2026.srccon.org
Deadline is May 31 to apply for @journalists.org's 2026 Women's Leadership Accelerator! I'm coordinating it & while I know it's amazing, our alumni say it better: "best decisions I've made for my ... career" & "you can't comprehend the value..." Apply: www.journalists.org/womens-leade...
The fact you can live in the same county as someone and not have the same representative should be illegal. Here’s what’s happening in Tennessee
“We are dealing with social media systems that incentivize us fighting each other.” @nickvalencianews.bsky.social Great panel at @journalists.org #ona26!
“Government should not be afraid of our voices, it should answer them.” @mayorofchicago.bsky.social at @journalists.org conference in Chicago. Mayor Johnson was interviewed by @sashaannsimons.bsky.social of @wbez.org. #ona26
Midwest weather is not for the weak. This is like our 3rd winter. Feels like -2 degrees today and up to 80 degrees on Friday 🫠 #kcwx #kansacity #midwest
It’s incredible how there is not a single wasted scene in this nearly 3-hour long movie
If anyone else wants to know what our labor stats look like over time (like I do), here are two charts from @usbls.bsky.social. Outlets reporting on the monthly numbers should also include these graphics to show more context, because our job growth isn't growing. LINK: www.bls.gov/news.release...
Not even a full year into this administration and every headline is like this 🫠 Capturing 2025 in history books is gonna be quite a job
All the planning and emails and calls are now officially a conference!! And it’s amazing! #sfj2025
Making Ziggy question his existence for a trend 😹 Happy Caturday & No Kings Day!
You haven’t had barbecue till you had Kansas City bbq! Behold: Char Bar KC 😋 charbarbbq.com
Something you do have control over: Giving a hug. It can be to a friend, a relative, a pet, a plushie or a pillow … the act of wrapping yourself around something will remind you of what a wonder your body is. P.S. cats may not agree 😸
Something you do have control over is what you feed yourself. Try this super easy Gochujang Butter Noodles dish! You can easily add veggies or protein of your choice (I did ground pork & broccoli). #recipe 🎁: cooking.nytimes.com/recipes/1024...
Happy Caturday from this uncle cat who is very set in his ways but still gets random zoomies 😸
Tornado sirens going off in Kansas City 🌪️ #kcwx #kansascity #tornadowarning
