@A_Tall_Turner Exactly.

@AshleyRParker Long ago our six-year-old became jealous of the dog we loved too much. But she grew out of it two dogs later.

@WakeUp2Politics Congrats Gabe. Excellent historical account of credentialing.

[Dick Weiss @weisswrite]

@JaneDueker So much venom and vitriol from you on X, Jane. I could even agree with what you say here and at other times but not the tone. I remember meeting you and talking for a bit several years ago and I was taken with your in-person personality. But apparently you have one that splits.

Is it just me or is it almost impossible to connect with local news on Twitter anymore? There's a solution to that, St. Louis.... our new @stlmag newsletter launches next week. Sign up now to get me and @RyanWKrull in your inbox https://t.co/t91MWJP6SN

Great to see Kevin McDermott get behind historical recognition of the slave pens on the Post-Dispatch editorial page and to cite Rocky’s fine story and support from the River City Journalism Fund. Thanks, Kevin. https://t.co/q7kYmd0fmy

[Gabe Fleisher @WakeUp2Politics]

Some personal news: I’ve officially graduated from college and I’m so excited to be sharing my next step.

This moment has been 13 years in the making. I can’t wait to take Wake Up To Politics full-time and I hope you join me on this journey!

@therockyfiles @sarahfenske @alanachkar @stltoday @stlpublicradio Thanks for the great journalism @therockyfiles and to our River City Journalism fund media partners Post-Dispatch and St. Louis Public Radio. Journalism is in crisis locally and nationally, but this shows what can be done to continue to inform and enlighten our community.

@CitizenCohn @RiverfrontTimes @Chronogram Alas, Riverfront Times went belly up a couple of weeks ago. People can support local coverage in STL through the non-profit River City Journalism Fund, which I chair. https://t.co/BNrO7aqhqI

@CitizenCohn @RiverfrontTimes Thanks Jonathan. Your story was terrific and important and ought to hit the inbox and desk of every policymaker.

[Dick Weiss @weisswrite]

@bedliemom @clairecmc Yes.

Was photographing in historic Ste. Genevieve, Mo. yesterday when an #Eclipse2024 fan approached. She wanted to know where she could see my photos. I gave her our website and heard the whine before the words. "They have a paywall", she said. 1/ https://t.co/LeWtlGy1bz

[Sarah Fenske @sarahfenske]

You can also read this week's cover story online. We make it easy like that! https://t.co/U9kPzXgOBg

[Sarah Fenske @sarahfenske]

We've also been having some fun with the front of the book... and even gained a mascot. If you've noticed our furry little friend popping up in our pages lately, let us know what you think

[Sarah Fenske @sarahfenske]

Second, we've been quietly doing a little facelift on our 46-year-old print product. That includes a revamp of our food section to highlight our new partnership with @SAUCEmag. It's really pretty! https://t.co/335cAVOH3H

[Sarah Fenske @sarahfenske]

If you haven't picked up an RFT print issue lately, maybe think about changing that this week. First, we've got a kickass cover story -- all about the story behind an incredible Chuck Berry bootleg that may never reach the public

[Dick Weiss @weisswrite]

@preciousb_stl @stltoday The River City Journalism Fund was so proud to sponsor your story.

[Precious Barry @preciousb_stl]

Thank you @stltoday

The feeling of imposter syndrome is fairly common, but also it can manifest itself in just about any part of life. It is a privilege and honor to share my story through my freshman year at Washu.
