Why are people leaving TikTok for Rednote? That makes zero sense to me. You're leaving an app with a Chinese parent company that's based in the U.S. to join one that's fully run by China? Make that make sense.

Another awesome lunch at Mom's Diner—you just can’t beat this place! They were packed (as always), but we got to sit in the Elvis Room, which was super cool. The food was amazing, and the vibe is unbeatable. My friends who own it have done such an incredible job here—it’s truly a local treasure. If you haven’t been, what are you even waiting for?! 🍔🎤👑

The Johns Family

As many of you may know, Amy and her family have been going through a very difficult time with her health. After a two month stay with surgeries and scans in Toledo, they have unfortunately found inoperable brain tumors. Amy has been moved to CHP impatient hospice in Defiance, OH and the stress of finances has started to become a reality. Barry has been beside Amy through all of this but has run out of vacation/sick days and must go on FMLA for the remainder of Amys stay. The family appreciates everyone’s prayers, love, and concern. The support within the community has been incredible, and we know they are very thankful. We feel like the best way to continue to support them now is through some financial relief. We know the family would greatly appreciate any help!
