It is not ok to accost someone who is just doing their job. Thankful my coworker is ok and that @WestVirginiaU spoke out against this behavior.

Today makes TWO years for me at @WBOY12News! This year has been a crazy one-from covering my first protest to getting COVID tested on air to two more long election nights...but I’m still thankful for the people of North Central WV for letting me tell their stories ❤️

Latte is not feeling this Tuesday...who can relate? 😴

[Erica Young @EricaWBOY]

It’s a tie for me between crunch berries and frosted mini wheats (depending on how mature I’m feeling). What’s your favorite cereal? #NationalCerealDay

[KDKA @KDKA]

HAPPY NATIONAL CEREAL DAY! These are the top 5 breakfast cereals of all time, according to a study. Which is your favorite? Is there another you like better?

A little kindness goes a long way. Treat others the way you would want to be treated ❤️

[Shaley Snider @wxShaley]

Just a reminder, it’s 100% free to be a nice person. I have only been doing this for 2 months. I am not perfect. I make mistakes. I am still learning. I am not an incompetent bimbo. Treat me with the respect I deserve. Even if I make mistakes.
