@LibbyApp for the love of God: Let me adjust screen brightness inside the app. No other e-reader app makes me exit the app, open device settings, adjust the brightness, and then return to the app. (Love everything else about Libby.)

This is the first thing that popped up when I opened this app: An ad for a far-right “news outlet.” This, y’all, is why @AthensIndy won’t be posting new content on the platform formerly known as Twitter.

There’s a special place in Hell for whoever is responsible for everything after episode 4 of #CarnivalRow. I’d rather the series had simply ended, leaving us hanging, than tie up all the plot lines with this ham-handed, nonsensical BS.

One year ago Saturday, I was fired by @PublishingAdams for warning readers about scam ads. Today, @AthensIndy was accepted in Stage 2 of @IndiegrafMedia's News Startup Fund. Mom was right: Living well is the best revenge. 🎊🎇🥳🎆

The other day my son told me I was developing anger issues. I'm a middle-aged woman starting up a nonprofit newsroom in Appalachia. *Of course* I have anger issues.

Possibly cancellable take on gas stoves: Instead of phasing out gas stoves, _maybe_ we could try requiring manufacturers to make safer stoves (and make/enforce building codes requiring properly functioning exhaust hoods). Just a thought. #Sarcasm

Y’all keep asking why no one reported on George Santos earlier. A local outlet, the North Shore Leader, DID. It’s the big players who blew it off until after the election. #LocalNews https://www.theleaderonline.com/single-post/santos-filings-now-claim-net-worth-of-11-million

A good start! Now, extend the Chillicothe line to Portsmouth and the Athens line to Parkersburg so people in southeast Ohio can travel somewhere other than the three Cs. Maybe a scenic line upriver to Steubenville too? (❤️ ‘Yinzer Express’ 🤣👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻)

Pet peeve: Authors who set their novels in towns that actually exist yet have the geography and other details wrong. The intersection of fiction and reality is distracting. And it just seems kinda lazy.
