For some St. Louisans living on the street, frostbite can cause lasting harm People without a stable place to live are more likely to suffer from frostbite, a potentially debilitating condition for those in precarious housing situations.

After January’s deep freeze, some people experiencing homelessness in St. Louis are suffering severe frostbite.

Advocates say limited shelter access and repeated exposure to extreme cold are leaving lasting damage.

‘Keenelan’ combines awkward romance and a deep love for St. Louis “Keenelan” will screen at this year’s St. Louis International Film Festival.

Filmmaking in St. Louis is gaining momentum — thanks to Missouri’s revived film tax credits.

Filmmaker Cami Thomas’ short Keenelan, screening at the St. Louis International Film Festival, showcases the city’s growing film community. From @stlonair.bsky.social:

Dara is a powerful leader. She's also way too humble. I am proud of her in so many ways and I'm grateful for her dedication to Black St. Louisans. It was an absolute pleasure to produce this segment and write the web story.

While I don't do entertainment reporting often, those honest answers are what I'm looking for. I like demystifying stuff and I find that general audiences want to know how things really are done. And that honestly leads to a good follow up question, too!

Lynn Schmidt: The tornado devastated Black neighborhoods. Where was the BLM organization? There are many quotes about showing up, from the anonymously sourced “The world is run by those who show up” to Woody Allen’s “90% of success is showing up” to

Every month I marvel at myself for choosing NOW of all times to get back into journalism. lol smh wtf.
Today, it's boo boo like this that's got me questioning my life decisions: www.stltoday.com/opinion/colu...
But then I remember that this is bad journalism at best or flatout not journalism at all.

'A life sentence of grief': The hidden toll of unsolved homicides in St. Louis Without enough resources to meet their needs, families of homicide victims say, years later, they're still struggling to cope.

How culture, trauma and social media add up to create the ‘Gen Z stare’ What you might perceive as rudeness from a young adult might just be them getting through the day.

This segment inspired me to start an informal Gen Z community council because I seem to really like asking what's up with Gen Z in some form or fashion: www.stlpr.org/show/st-loui...

Dang. It's been a min. How y'all doing?

My biggest worry for days to come is how these already unstable buildings on the Northside could just crumble after all the stress from this tornado.

How St. Louis is represented throughout Drake and Kendrick Lamar’s rap beef Kendrick Lamar dropped his diss track “euphoria” that directly targets Drake on Tuesday. The internet has been in shambles ever since.

Last year I got an angry email from a listener about producing a segment for @stlonair.bsky.social about Kendrick Lamar and Aubrey’s rap beef. We focused more on how STL shows up throughout the whole saga. www.stlpr.org/show/st-loui...
Crazy how much happened since May 🙃.
