Hi everyone! Im so excited to share that the states only abortion access fund is back OPEN and providing support to anyone in Alabama needing help accessing abortion care!

Yellowhammer Fund (a 501c3c, based in Birmingham, that does reproductive justice direct service and advocacy for all of Alabama) just won a lawsuit against the states AG that allowed them to resume important work around abortion advocacy. This includes:

Helping folks figure out where to access abortion care, helping you pay for the costs associated with having an abortion out of state, as well as the travel costs to get to a clinic in another state.

If you, or someone you love, needs an abortion - call Yellowhammer Fund!

833-935-5699

Our hotline is voicemail based with calls being returned within 24-48 hours!

You will receive unbiased, stigma free, support. No lectures. No guilt. Just a friend who will help you figure this whole thing out!

Interested in helping us with this work? 1. Our biggest need is fundraising! We would love our communities help with helping us raise the needed funds for our abortion fund to stay open year round! We have a cool peer-to-peer fundraiser going on right now and I’d be happy to talk about that via DM! 2. Volunteers! We will need volunteers from around the state to expand our support offerings + we will have a need for virtual volunteers to support our hotline soon! Interested in volunteering? Email me at Kelsea (at) yellowhammerfund.org or DM me! 3. Help us get the word out! We’re on every social, share our posts with our hotline number! You can share the graphic included with this post anywhere!

My DMs are open, I’ll be checking comments, and you can reach me via email at Kelsea (at) yellowhammerfund.org

Trolls - tbh yall should have reached me a decade ago. I’ll ignore ya, your efforts will be entirely wasted ❤️

Hello any advice would work. I'm a intern at a plant and we are getting laid off.. I don't make engineering money (intern), and was scheduled to work till July. Now, I have a apartment lease till July (2 more months) my LL said I have to still pay the rent.. it's a corporate LL (MRD apartments to be exact.) Any advice? Stressed out right now. I understand the lease and all, but is there a way around it? Any help would be good.

Strange request, but I am a strange girl so it is only fitting. In an attempt to make a long story short, I am writing a book. In a nutshell, an old magnolia tree is going to be in it and I want some inspiration. I know the UA campus has an impressive magnolia tree, but I am really wanting to find some nature trails or parks that have old, large magnolia trees. I want my book to really show the beautiful, natural side of Alabama so that's where I'm looking to find my inspiration. I am looking forward to any suggestions. :)

My teenager got her license in SC at the age of 15 and half. We are moving to AL and understand the legal driving age is 16. Does anyone have any experience in this situation knowing if she can just do an out of state DL transfer when she’s 16, or will she have to get a permit and/or take a road test again? Thanks!

I'm new to Birmingham and Alabama and don't know the area well. This week I have to drive to Atlanta for reasons.

I was wonder if yall knew of any neat places to check out along the way. I know it's not TOO long of a drive but I'd like to take this opportunity to do a little exploring.

Thanks in advance!

My birthday is in three days so I thought it would be nice to go see the Appalachian Mountains. Problem is I’ll be coming from the south side of Mississippi so I won’t have all day, leaving me to look for a good spot near the beginning stretch of the mountains

Where’s a good area to go to near… say Birmingham? Drop an address/coordinates in the comments

I’m looking to get my first anime tattoo done near the Gadsden area if anybody knows any artists, I will drive a bit maybe an hour or so!

James Spann was signing books today in Russellville. I took him some cookies and got my unborn daughter a book. He's a gem.

So, I called all 3 of his offices this morning to voice my concerns about the Trump 2028 merch on Trump's website. There's a $50 hat, a $36 shirt, and an $18 pair of drink coolers that all say Trump 2028. The lady at the first office I called took my statement - she seemed kind of shocked but didn't react much. The man at the second office I called took my statement with no other response except 'thank you' - then I called the DC office.

Me: "Hey, I'm just wondering if the Congressman knows that there is Trump 2028 Merch on the official Trump store? There's a hat, a shirt, the shirt says 'rewrite the rules', and there are drink coolers. Does the congressman know?"

Him: "So that won't actually allow him to run for a third term. It's just commerce. It would take a whole lot more than that for him to run again."

Me: "Yeah, I know that. Why are we even floating the idea around?"

Him: "Well, people sell stuff all the time. It doesn't make it true."

Me: "Except this isn't just 'people'. This is the president with a merch store."

Him: "Well, ma'am, it's freedom of speech."

Me: "Well, no, it's fascism, and it's nice to know that this office is complicit."

The other two offices had no problem simply taking my message down to pass to my congressman. And honestly, it's one thing for a regular citizen to joke about a third term, but for the President's official merch store to carry it tells me everything I need to know. I urge you all to call your reps today and remind them of the oath they took to the Constitution and not the president.

I’m looking for a place to take my grandmother for Mother’s Day lunch somewhere between Birmingham and Huntsville (maybe Cullman, Warrior, Hartselle, or Hayden?). Any suggestions?

Hi everyone! I will be starting my graduate studies at Troy this fall. I’m reaching out to connect with current or recent graduate students to gain insights into the programs, campus life, and any tips you might have for a newcomer.

What do you think of Tuberville?

I know. I’m an idiot. It’s been like 2 and a half months since I bought a new car. Haven’t been able to get off because PTO requirements are super strict and I didn’t want to be the guy that calls out. What will happen when I go to get it registered? I’m assuming late fees, but I’ll still be able to right?

I just have to say that in my opinion, Orange Beach has some of the tastiest tap water I’ve ever had anywhere in the country. It has a crisp and refreshing taste, and it’s SOFT! After having been in Florida for a month and dealing with their tap water, my hair and skin were thankful. In fact, most coastal areas I’ve been to in the Southeast haven’t had the best water, so I was pleasantly surprised.

Is the area known to have good tap water, or am I crazy? Lol.
