*clears throat* She’s baaaaaack… For HuffPost, I wrote about how the Montgomery Brawl (which happened one year ago!) inspired me to learn how to swim. huffpost.com/entry/montgome…

Eating my first Rainier Cherries all season. And reminded of why I believe in a higher power.

It should be criminal that Duolingo can just charge you for a year of an expensive service you didn’t sign up for and hide behind the “no refund” excuse. Apple I look forward to the resolution of my dispute.

My boss/editor/Michelle Whisperer Laura Ellis made the most on point Mary J. Blige reference in the edit of a document today. Damn I love her. (Both Laura Ellis AND Mary J. ) There’s not hateration, holleration for either under my roof.

Fifteen minutes into re-watching “Homicide: Life on the Streets” I’m reminded of the unique perfection of this show. And I’m a little sad at how many of these actors who are gone.

I love the good use of an old gif Jacob Munoz

The Current’s loss is Louisville, Kentucky’s gain. Welcome Ayisha!!!

My mama was the 1st person to beat into me the need to vote. She rarely reaches out during a workday but while in my car, she texts to ask if I’ve voted yet. I text her this was 1st day in KY I could & I was on my way now. Didn’t hear back. Her job was done. 🤣🗳️#JohnsonWomenVote

I had forgotten until five minutes ago that I had bought my favorite pastry treat at Whole Foods yesterday to have on hand for #Election2024 stress. Thank you Past Michelle for taking care of Future Michelle. It’s the little things. #Vote

I had no idea she was from Kansas City! 🥹

I can’t share just yet, but here at 89.3 WFPL News we’re cooking up a new audio offering to serve to our listeners. As Bonnie Raitt says, let’s give ‘em something to talk about. Stay tuned! 🎙️

Customers have complained about rodents at the Goss Ave. Kroger as far back as early January. Today, crews are disassembling shelving to see where rats may be hiding. lpm.org/news/2025-06-1…

The customer service I just received from Starbucks over a screwed up charge reminds me of why other places have become my go to caffeine pushers. It probably would have been worse if the transaction wasn’t made on the app.

Congratulations to Joe Sonka on his Public Media Journalists Association digital writing award for his investigation, "‘Confidential’: Hiding the cost of legislation from Kentuckians." lpm.org/news/2024-08-0…

I’m jamming too hard to this Reggae playlist while editing my interview with the owner of the downtown Jamaican restaurant in Louisville.
