Austin Residents & Visitors - Glory Hole Host Cancellations Past Year

Have you had a glory hole host cancel your session? I’ve heard from some people who say they have had issues with glory hole hosts canceling their sessions here in Austin, at both public locations such as Chili's and Terry Black's, as well as private encounters at apartments and hotels. Has this happened to you within the past year? I’m Petunia Pickleshitter, a reporter with CBS Austin. I’m looking to speak with people who live in Austin or the surrounding counties who have had this happen to them. Or visitors who booked a session in Austin or the surrounding counties. If a host canceled your booking last second or asked you to cancel, please reach out to me. You can message me or email [email redacted] If you have screenshots, booking confirmations or messages, those would be helpful too.

CPAs, CFPs & Mortgage Brokers - Personal Investing Story Pitches

Pitch Me Story Ideas for CNBC Make It Money Coverage I'm a finance and crypto journalist. My work runs in Investopedia, TheStreet, Forbes, Benzinga and FinanceFeeds. I'm building pitches for CNBC Make It's money desk, which is tilting its coverage toward personal investing. I want PR pros and experts to pitch me story ideas in these seven areas: ➡️ Trending market news ➡️ Gen Z investing ➡️ Real estate ➡️ Crypto ➡️ Prediction markets ➡️ Sports betting ➡️ Aspirational wealth-building Read this before you pitch. What a good pitch looks like. These are personal finance service stories. Every one needs a peg — a rule change, a new product, a market move, a deadline — and a clear answer to "what does this mean for my money." Give me the peg, the reader takeaway, and the expert who can anchor it, in under five sentences. If it takes longer than that to explain, it isn't a fit. → Four published examples of exactly what works are in the first comment. Read them before you pitch. The experts I'm looking for: ➡️ CPAs and tax attorneys, especially those working with traders, bettors and crypto holders ➡️ Mortgage brokers and loan officers ➡️ CFPs and portfolio strategists ➡️ Gaming, securities and consumer attorneys ➡️ Retirement plan advisors What I need from any expert: ➡️ Named and on the record ➡️ The specific credential and the specific rule or product they can speak to. "Financial expert" isn't a credential ➡️ About 30 minutes on a call. US rules, US readers What doesn't work: general market commentary, executives available to discuss a trend, a product launch dressed up as a story, and platform data with no person attached. "Our users are up 300%" is a press release. Email me at ➡️ [email redacted]. No DM pitches here on LinkedIn. Email me. Two things on expectations. I pitch the editor once I have the idea and the source confirmed, so everything runs subject to his approval, and that takes weeks rather than days. And I won't reply to every pitch. If you don't hear back, it wasn't a fit. The type of stories that I am looking for are in the comments section. #Journorequest #PRrequests

Patients & Gynecologic Providers in Rural US - Care Access

Are you a patient or health-care provider with something to say about access to gynecologic care? Hi! I’m a journalist reporting on the growing gap in gynecologic care in the U.S., particularly in rural communities as maternity wards close and OB-GYNs leave. There’s a lot of discussion about who will deliver babies, but less about who will provide essential gynecologic care — Pap smears, contraception, menopause care, treatment for endometriosis and fibroids, and more. I’m looking to hear from patients and providers about what they’re experiencing: long wait times, traveling for care, difficulty finding a gynecologist, going without care, or seeing gaps in your community. I made a short survey to help with my reporting and connect with people who may be willing to share their experiences: Survey: https://forms.gle/ML2A6JzR5fGu9Cxq7 I come to this story with my own lived experience navigating the healthcare system. I have stage III endometriosis, PMOS and severe pelvic floor dysfunction. I’m reporting this project with support from the USC Center for Health Journalism, and it will ultimately be published in Straight Arrow News. You can also DM me if you’d rather talk privately. Thank you!

Bombardier Employees in Wichita - Trump Targeting Impact on Families

Any Bombardier employees willing to talk to a left-leaning outlet? Hey friends -- I'm working on a piece about Trump targeting Bombardier, including laying out what that will mean for Wichita (and Kansas) but also for the families that depend on employment at Bombardier (during an incredibly difficult job market). I'd love to talk to someone (or someones!) who works at Bombardier for the piece (which is being done for a left-leaning group but will not be explicitly electoral politics in any way.) If you're willing to talk on the record, that's incredible, but I can also obscure your identity if there are concerns about your employment (which I would totally understand!) My DMs are open if you're interested!

NJ Parents - AI Cameras & Facial Recognition in Schools

We're looking to talk to anyone who has noticed this tech — like the ones made by ZeroEyes and Turn-Key Technologies — in their schools, has been notified/not notified of AI-enabled tech used in their child's school, or has thoughts about how student data from these cameras is being collected and stored. DM me or email [email redacted].

ASU Students Raised Online - Creators' Impact On Political Beliefs

How have online content creators shaped your political beliefs? | State Press Magazine Some context: Hi everyone! I'm a writer for the State Press Magazine, ASU's student-led media outlet. I'm writing a story on how content creators who aren't generally considered "political commentators" can influence ASU students' political thought. For sourcing, I'm trying to get in touch with students who have been exposed to the internet for most of their life and have been committed fans to certain creators. Parasocial or not, I'm interested in that relationship and what "growing up on the internet" can do to someone's own beliefs, even if the creator they feel connected with doesn't have that much of a political pull (Think Drew Gooden or other internet culture commentators who are steadily talking on more serious topics while also posting reviews of low-budget shows). How did that connection with a creator change how you view your own political values or beliefs? And do you think it was beneficial to have that type of influence? If you're interested in talking about this and sharing your own story, feel free to DM me and I can send over my contact info. Thanks!

Downtown Apex Shoppers & Business Owners - Holiday Construction Impact

Downtown Apex merchants lose customers as construction schedule stretches into holidays I’m the News & Observer reporter who wrote this story about the Salem Street streetscape project. I spoke with downtown merchants about what months of construction have meant for their businesses. The project is intended to improve downtown, but business owners say they have lost customers while the work continues into the holiday season. I’d especially like to hear from people who shop, eat, work or own businesses downtown: Has construction changed how often you go? What would make it easier to keep supporting downtown businesses while the work continues? https://www.newsobserver.com/news/local/counties/wake-county/article317130074.html

Builders & Creators in San Antonio - Stories Series

Building something new… about people building something new. 🚀 I’ve spent the last 10+ years working with entrepreneurs, founders, event organizers and community builders.

Small businesses. Big, weird ideas that don’t fit neatly into a category. So I’ve been working on a fun new project focused on meeting these people, sharing their stories and connecting more of them to each other. Part 1 starts soon, and I’m looking for builders of all shapes and sizes, (especially in San Antonio). If you’re building something, or know someone I need to meet, send me a message or tag them! Whatever you’re building, I want to hear about it! More soon 👀

Ornithologists Near NYC-DC - Ivory-billed Belief & Conservation

Seeking an ornithology expert for a documentary Hello r/ornithology! I'm an independent documentary filmmaker currently directing and producing a feature film about the journey of two men who are extreme searchers of the ivory-billed woodpecker. This is a meditative and artsy piece that reflects on one particular experience of theirs of getting gravely lost in a cypress swamp while on a search for this lost bird. The film reflects on the role of belief in their journey and the utility of nostalgia in conservation efforts. Ultimately, we are exploring the ivory-billed woodpecker from an agnostic perspective, focusing on the question: Whether or not the bird persists, can belief in it support conservation of cypress and pine forests in the South? My team is seeking an expert in ornithology who could appear in the film and provide a description of the ivory-billed woodpecker as well as the argument/perspective that the ivory-billed woodpecker is likely extinct. This person would ideally be an active ornithological researcher, conservation professional, museum staff member, or have a masters degree in biology with an emphasis on birds. Your professional affiliation would not need to be included in the film, but ideally we'd like to coordinate on permissions to include this for credibility. We are seeking to build scientific credibility in the film and will frame your inclusion as such. My last film played at festivals across the US and I'm hoping to expand the footprint with this project. In doing so, I hope to ensure the educational integrity of the project and bring meaningful conservation information to audiences across the US. Participation would include one filming session with myself and a small crew. We are based on the East Coast so we are hoping to work with someone based within driving distance from NYC to Washington DC. If this is you or someone you know, send me a DM!

Minnesota Residents on Small Carriers - Text-to-911 Working?

Text-to-911, does it work for you or not In Minnesota you’re supposed to be able to text 911 if you are disabled and can’t talk. The official line is simple: “Call if you can, text if you can’t.” I can’t call, but yet I can't text either. The company that is my internet provider told me the NextGen 911 upgrades omitted the texting part. So what’s actually going on? Text-to-911 was sold to Minnesota as a critical backup. It’s for people who are deaf, hard of hearing, or speech impaired. It’s for anyone in a situation where making a sound could get them hurt. A few examples are… Domestic violence. Home invasion. Being told not to call. Among others. If you go to the Minnesota Department of Public Safety website right now, Text-to-911 is still listed as available statewide. They say it’s been working since December 2017. They talk about tens of thousands of texts being processed. They frame NextGen 911 as an improvement that will make text, location, photos, and video work better, not as something that omitted the existing texting service. So which is it? A phone company tells a customer the upgrade omitted texting. The state keeps advertising it like nothing’s wrong. Local news covers at least one person who can’t use it. And there’s no clear public explanation that closes the gap. Text-to-911 exists for the exact moments when voice is not an option. If it fails for some carriers or some areas while the official message is “it’s available,” people are left thinking they have a backup, when in fact, that it may not actually be there when they need it. After some investigation, I found out that this may be a state-wide problem. The reason I'm saying this is because I have reached out to three Internet providers, just to see if they were able to use the Text-to-911. No one was able to make it work. The quick fix was to have a dedicated cell phone in the emergency services 911 center used for texting until the state 911 system is fixed. Here’s what should happen. The local 911 centers and the state’s Emergency Communication Networks division should test Text-to-911 from the local telephone companies numbers in the areas that are having problems and publish the results. If certain carriers or regions have degraded service, people deserve clear public notice instead of a website that still says everything is fine. Until then, if you live in an area served by a smaller carrier, don’t assume texting 911 will work just because the state says it does. Save your county’s 10-digit non-emergency dispatch number in your phone, which was the solution for my predicament. Test carefully if you need to, and document what happens. If you’ve tried texting 911—especially on a rural or independent phone company—and it failed or it worked, I want to hear about it. This shouldn’t be something individual people have to discover the hard way. The backup system that was supposed to be there for people who can’t talk wasn’t working for me, the company that provides internet service says a upgrade to the state 911 system broke it, and the official story hasn’t caught up. That's why I decided to do this episode, because I'm tired of people not looking at the bigger picture when they plan important things.

Boulder CU Campus Life Exhibit Visitors - 150-Year Human & Nature Ties

The closest parking is at the Folsom Parking Garage at Folsom St. & Stadium Dr., Boulder, CO 80302. I’m writing a story about the exhibit and need a visitor's comment and quote. Did you like it?

Denver Therapy Patients - When Therapy Hurts or Breaks Trust

Denver area Discussion about what people think your therapy is and what you might actually get. Denver-area people: Has therapy ever made things worse? Hi! I'm Carrie, and I'm starting a project called The Missing Step about something I don't think gets talked about nearly enough: what happens when therapy goes wrong? We hear a lot about going to therapy, finding a therapist, and how therapy can help. I want to hear about the other experiences too. Have you ever left therapy feeling that you were worse off than when you started? Felt misunderstood or repeatedly unheard? Had a therapist damage your trust? Had treatment go in a direction you didn't want? Had something happen that made you think, Wait—wasn't this supposed to help me? Even better if your clinician.current or former and can be honest about rupture repair, if that works and why. How and when it doesn't because there's that. I'm interested in talking with people who feel therapy harmed them and people who had a bad experience but eventually found a therapist who genuinely helped. I'd especially like to understand what went wrong—and what a better clinician did differently. I'm in the Denver area and would love to hear from other people locally, although I'm happy to talk with people elsewhere too. I'm considering developing these conversations into a podcast or interview project eventually, but talking to me does not mean agreeing to be recorded or published. Right now especially for me. It might be validating it might be helpful I don't know right now I'm by myself. That is what is more painful than anything. I've said it time and time again it doesn't make me feel better to know that other people have had the same or similar experiences but it makes me feel better because \I know I'm not alone.\ And it's unfortunately not uncommon. And I do not hear and it has been unfortunately my experience specifically within my family unit to push their pain mental health as holy and completely benign there is never any pitfalls or problems or concerns or challenges or harm. I think I would have approached any of this with more jaundiced eye had I had people warn me that things can go wrong and not push this always therapy is mental health is always a good thing and it always results in improving someone's life, and if it doesn't it must be the fault of the person participating. That's not necessarily so. If we ever wanted to take that step, we'd discuss it separately and you'd decide what you're comfortable with, including anonymity. For now, I'm interested in listening. If you have an experience you'd like to share, reply here or send me a private message. And if you've ever thought, "Everybody tells people to go to therapy, but nobody talks about what happens when therapy itself goes wrong," you're exactly the kind of person I'd like to hear from.

Navy Veterans & WWII Historians - 1944 USS Thomas J Gary Photo ID

My Father Was Only 17 When This WWII Navy Photo Was Taken My Father Was Only 17 When This WWII Navy Photo Was Taken Check out this WW2 US Navy Memorabilia - https://amzn.to/4d4q6gD \\My father was only 17 years old when this personal World War II photograph was taken in 1944. He had lied about his age to enlist in the United States Navy, eventually serving aboard the destroyer escort USS Thomas J. Gary—and this remarkable photograph survives from his wartime years.\\ In this video, we're taking a detailed look at one of the original WWII photographs that belonged to my father and examining what can be learned simply by slowing down and studying what's captured in the image. The photograph provides an extraordinary glimpse into the world of the \\U.S. Navy during World War II\\. Dozens of sailors can be seen gathered aboard and alongside a naval vessel, while several other men appear to be military personnel or visitors making their way across the gangway. Rather than focusing only on the ship, look closely at the people. The sailors crowd the railings and upper areas of the vessel, many apparently watching whatever activity is taking place below. Their uniforms, caps, clothing, body language and expressions help turn this from an image of military equipment into a photograph of the people who actually experienced World War II. That's particularly meaningful to me because somewhere within this wartime world was my father—a teenager who had made the enormous decision to join the U.S. Navy. He was just \\17 years old in 1944\\. He had lied about his age in order to enlist and would serve aboard the \\USS Thomas J. Gary\\, a destroyer escort. Ships of this type played an important role during World War II, performing duties that included protecting convoys and larger naval forces from enemy submarines and aircraft. One of the most fascinating aspects of old family photographs like this is the amount of history hiding in the background. Look beyond the sailors and you'll see the harbor infrastructure, buildings, gangways, shipboard equipment and other details of everyday naval life. These weren't carefully staged publicity photographs—they captured moments from a world that these young sailors experienced firsthand. I've restored and colorized this photograph to make those details easier to see and to bring this moment from 1944 closer to the way the people who were actually there may have experienced it. Colorization doesn't replace the original historical photograph. Instead, it can provide another way of studying it—drawing our eyes toward details that might otherwise be overlooked. For me, however, this photograph is more than World War II history. It's part of my father's story. It's remarkable to think that at an age when most teenagers today are finishing high school, he had entered the United States Navy during the largest war the world had ever seen. \\What details do YOU notice in this photograph?\\ If you recognize the shipboard equipment, uniforms, location, military personnel, or anything else visible here, please leave a comment. I'd especially like to hear from Navy veterans, military historians, WWII researchers and anyone whose family has photographs from this era.

Current & Former RNDC Employees - Executive Incentive Pay Controversy

RNDC: ~2,770 EMPLOYEES CUT. 5 SENIOR EXECUTIVES UP TO $2.29 MILLION IN PROPOSED INCENTIVE PAY. RNDC entered Chapter 11 bankruptcy in July. Since then, thousands of people who helped build, sell, warehouse, deliver and support this company have been affected as RNDC's operations have contracted. Now another number deserves attention: IN A PROPOSED INCENTIVE COMPENSATION ▶ 5 SENIOR EXECUTIVES TO POSSIBLY RECEIVE ▶ UP TO APPROXIMATELY $2.29 MILLION Put those numbers next to what has happened to the workforce. ~2,770 EMPLOYEES CUT. This ABSOLUTELY deserves to be discussed. Companies are built by more than ownership They are built by their employees sales people Warehouse workers Drivers Office employees Managers People who get up every morning and do the work. I understand that bankruptcy cases can use executive incentive programs to retain leadership and accomplish specific financial or operational targets. And proposed compensation is not the same thing as money already paid. That distinction matters. But so does the other side of this story. Thousands of jobs have disappeared while a proposed incentive program could provide substantial additional compensation to a very small group of senior executives. So I'm not going to tell you what to think. I'm going to put the numbers next to each other: ~2,770 EMPLOYEES CUT. 5 SENIOR EXECUTIVES — UP TO $2.29 MILLION IN PROPOSED INCENTIVE PAY. YOU DECIDE. Was this proposed incentive plan necessary to maximize value during RNDC's bankruptcy? Or after everything that has happened to employees, creditors, suppliers and communities, does it send the wrong message? I'd especially like to hear from current and former RNDC employees. Follow me for continuing coverage of the RNDC bankruptcy and what it means for the wine & spirits industry.

Do you feel proud buying legal cannabis in Ohio, or do you still feel like one wrong move could get you treated like a criminal? Are you happy with the quality? Are you shopping in Ohio because you want to, or because it is the only lawful option available? I’m not looking for perfect answers. I’m looking for honest ones. If you are an Ohio patient, adult-use consumer, home grower, dispensary worker, health-care worker, parent, advocate, skeptic, or someone who has simply watched this system develop, I want your take. What is Ohio doing well? What feels broken? What still confuses you? What should I investigate next? Drop your thoughts in the comments, message me, or email me at [email redacted]. The next phase of the Ohio Cannabis Column is going to focus on consumer confidence, shopping smarter, product education, pricing, legal confusion, and how Ohioans can better navigate the system we are living in. Before I start offering answers, I want to hear from the people actually living this. Ohio, how do we feel? #OhioCannabis #MedicateOH #CannabisEducation #OhioCannabisColumn #CannabisPolicy #MedicalCannabis #AdultUseCannabis

AZ NV CA Realtors & Mortgage Pros - Water Cuts & Underwriting Risk

#sourcerequest: I'm looking for real estate agents/brokers in the West (Arizona, Nevada or California) where drastic water cuts have been implemented due to the Colorado River's reduced levels for an interview about how these issues may impact housing demand and home prices in the near future. I'm also curious if any mortgage experts expect future issues with underwriting loans in these areas, especially as utility bills spike and insurance premiums for drought-related hazards (wildfires) increase. Please DM me or comment if you can help! Trying to get interviews done today or early Tuesday, at latest. Thanks, all!

Octopus Energy's new Octopus Charge would be pretty cool if it works. However, when I tried to use it, I found it to be just another badly-designed charging app. Has anyone out there used this in the US? I'd love to hear from you. CHARGED Electric Vehicles Magazine https://lnkd.in/gTFm9U2H
