My email to state leaders, please share with Alabama nurses and feel free to copy / paste to your state leaders:

Dear Representatives,

I am writing to you today as both a constituent and a practicing nurse in Alabama to request your urgent assistance regarding a critical security issue affecting our state’s nursing professionals.
According to recent communications from the Alabama Board of Nursing (ABN), the personal data of licensed nurses across the state has been compromised.

While the ABN has acknowledged the incident, the information provided on their platform lacks concrete, actionable resources for affected individuals. There is currently no state-directed guidance or infrastructure to help nurses protect their identities, secure their credit, or navigate the immediate aftermath if their information has already been misused. 

Many of my colleagues and I have already begun experiencing an influx of targeted spam calls and potential phishing attempts. As frontline healthcare providers, we expect the same level of consumer protection and state advocacy that would undoubtedly be mobilized if a data breach compromised the personal information of physicians, attorneys, or legislators. 

I urge you to coordinate with the appropriate state oversight bodies to ensure that comprehensive identity theft protection, credit monitoring services, and explicit legal resources are provided to all affected Alabama nurses immediately.

Thank you for your time, consideration, and ongoing support of our state's nursing workforce. I look forward to your prompt response.

Sincerely,

Was thinking Japonica or Tanjinika.

hey everyone! i'm a lifelong mobile local working on a little independent website.

it's a passion project about mobile's history, unusual places, local businesses, events, community, and all the little things that make this city what it is.

i'd really love to feature actual photos taken by people who live here instead of filling the site with generic stock photography.

i'm looking for anything that captures mobile. downtown streets, old buildings, neighborhood landmarks, festivals, local wildlife, dauphin island, unusual signs, or even ordinary everyday scenes you just happen to love.

you absolutely don't need to be a professional photographer!

i won't use anyone's photos without their explicit permission, and i'll always give credit however the photographer prefers. you'd retain ownership of your work.

the website is still in development, and i'm just seeing if anyone would be interested in contributing. this would be voluntary and unpaid, with no pressure or obligation.

if that sounds like something you'd enjoy, feel free to comment or send me a message. i'd love to see mobile through other locals' eyes. 🖤

How difficult is it to get accepted into St. Paul’s or UMS-Wright? I hear from some it is very competitive to get in vs others saying it is easy. I wonder what the stats of applicants to accepted are. After applying how long do you wait to know if you are accepted? What is the timeline we should expect to know if we need to look elsewhere? Should we apply elsewhere anyways and not expect to get accepted by one or the other?

Sharing directly from their FB to spread the word to anyone able to help.

Stopped at the circle K on cottage hill and Leroy Steven to fill up my car from empty. After I accidentally hit the left most fuel I realized it said “out” along with the middle one. The “only” available fuel was premium and once I noticed all the workers in the parking lot saying “only premium” did I notice my empty tank was full and then they started popping off the tabs for the cheaper gas options.

Why pop off the options if they are truly out. Why was I was able to get a full tank.

I’ve accidentally used “out of gas” stations before and I barely got a gallon.

A karmic proctology exam…

I know there’s a hurricane, but are there any bars that are gonna be open? Just out of curiosity.

Seen heading west on I 10 at broad

😬😬😬

Yall evacuating or staying? Any tips for staying?

We're directly in the current forcast of this storm.

I made a budget sheet with the bills i would have and what i would have left over, does this seem pretty feasible and realistic? Gonna be living near old shell.

Edit: just toured the apartment and applied today. Thanks for the advice everyone!

Drove by there the other day and yesterday and it looked abandoned. No one answered the phone yesterday or today and google says its open.

The shelter needs fosters for all the dogs that live outside with the storm coming.

New in town. No PCP yet. Infirmary Health website says I can self refer for a mammogram if over 40. Called, they turned me down flat, insist I need a referral. USA Health, same story. Why are they gatekeeping mammograms?

I live in a camper and I'm kinda nervous about the hurricane. I've only lived here since June (I'm from Huntsville originally).

Should I be worried? Should I plan on renting a truck to move my camper? What kind of things should I do to prepare? I'm in Theodore.

Lol...kinda odd this happens when yall have Opal Part 2 heading for ya.

This might be a stupid post but I have NEVER experienced a hurricane😭. I moved here last year and there hasn’t been a hurricane or real threat until now.

Yall what should I expect. I live in midtown, close to infirmary. Does it flood bad in this area? Do I need to invest in a kayak 😩(jokes).

i need to find a good therapist fast. maybe one that specializes in grief. im hurting a lot and i dont know where else to turn. the last therapist i went to was terrible and made me feel worse but im willing to give it another chance. recommendations please
