Every October, the world lights up in pink: ribbons, shirts, landmark buildings, and parade floats, all rallying for the global fight against breast cancer.

Thirty years of Republican control, endless campaign promises, and Texans screaming for economic relief.
Here is a truth about Houston’s job market: the most valuable professional networks aren’t happening over bland networking mixers in Downtown high-rises anymore. They also are becoming more rare on popular job search sites like Indeed and LinkedIn. They are happening in crowded, high-energy halls fueled by community, ambition, and serious intent. Career fairs have been around since the late 1940’s, but technology slowly pulled us away from the in-person job search. Now, technology is bringing Read more […]

Five million humans lost food assistance; those families did not suddenly become financially secure. Dropping someone from a relief roll does not feed them; it simply makes their hunger invisible to federal ledgers.
Let’s not mince words about what just went down in Texas. In a state where voter suppression is practically a pass-down heritage, Tarrant County officials executed a textbook maneuver: voting to slash 92 Election Day polling locations ahead of November. That drops the county’s footprint from 316 sites in 2022 to a meager 224.

We were already reeling after losing Hayden Panettiere the week before, only for the weekend to hit us with the news that we’d lost Michael Wright. Then came August 25—the 25th anniversary of losing the irreplaceable Aaliyah—a day already Read more […]
