I had the pleasure of sitting down with @RonScottJr304 at last month’s OCSWA Earth Day Block Party to talk about @MenOfChange304!

This all volunteer group started in 2020 so to uplift, empower, support, and engage the people of Wheeling!

.@RonScottJr304 told me that one of the goals of @MenOfChange304 is to be present for the community. “We have an inherent interest in the Black community but we are not pigeon-holed. We are a part of the community regardless of what color they are.” #folkreporters

The Ohio County Solid Waste Authority held its 2nd annual Earth Day block party on April 22 at @WhgHeritage Artisan Center. More than two dozen vendors greeted hundreds of Wheeling residents to celebrate the occasion. Let's meet some of them! #folkreporters

I spoke with OCSWA's Executive Director, Rebecca Friend, who said “I want people to know there’s hope, and there’s other people fighting to make our home better." Their booth diverted plants from the landfill, repotted them, and gave them to the community. #folkreporters

Guess who has two thumbs and just finished their write up of the Earth Day block party from three weeks ago???
Now I can write my FidoFest article and my article about the opening of timeless muses in a TIMELY manner and be happy. You may not know what I’m talking about but soon enough you will! Next article dropping at 10:00 Sunday. GO SUBSCRIBE TO MY s*bst*ck link in bio
Yes s*bst*ck is being nerfed harder than slurs and hate speech. Yes this is the “free speech” turd Elon promised us. Hope we’re all happy. I have to do double the work to get my content out to the people (IE summarizing in threads). NOT EASY but I love it 💛

Just want folks who are sharing the Intelligencer’s story with Councilor Seidler’s comment to know the actual story is 90% Dittmar’s rant verbatim.

You aren’t the ones affected by the dissemination of her hate and bigotry, but my friends are! Hope the likes are worth it!
Yes I’m gonna hype myself up. HERE is how you report on known bigots. You don’t copy them word-for-word, conspiracy and nastiness and all. You state what they are mad about and move on. This person is known universally in Wheeling. Now her message is being spread statewide
Again, legally I can’t say Dittmar led the effort to send threats to drag queens and staff of Primantis in March. I can say I believe it to be true. She bragged about doing as much in since deleted posts.

Stop spreading her message with that article. Be responsible.

The Wheeling City Council held its first meeting of May on Tuesday, May 2. It has received statewide attention after a known bigot had their six-minute tirade turned into a full-length story by a legacy paper.

Here are the stories you missed:

A potential $500,000 loan-financing program to assist in the repair of sidewalks was discussed, offered by @ViceMayorWhg Thalman, Ward 1. Currently, it is the property owner's responsibility to maintain sidewalks. Councilors Sklavounakis and Palmer spoke in opposition.

(2/15)
@MayorWheeling said "We see people pushing baby strollers in the middle of the street...doing nothing is not constructive." City Manager Herron, citing a study for Wheeling Island, Woodsdale, and Warwood, said 231,000 sq ft of sidewalks need repaired, nearly $7 million.
