Following one of Texas’s worst flash floods, Camp Mystic—an inclusive summer camp for people with disabilities—was nearly ruined. But within weeks, a massive volunteer effort led by community members and disaster-relief pros had it ready to welcome campers again.

The story highlights the emotional power of community: over 1,500 volunteers, including Camp Camp staff and local families, worked tirelessly to restore cabins, trails, and makespace.

In difficult times, this is a reminder that people can rebuild hope together.

Last October, my dad had a vision while driving into Lynchburg — he saw a glowing sign that simply said “YOU ARE LOVED.”

No logo. No sermon. Just a message.

That moment stuck with him. So he made it real.

He used his own money to fund a series of billboards — UR LOVED, YOU ARE WORTHY, YOU ARE PRECIOUS — and placed them around Timberlake and beyond.

They aren’t tied to a church or company. They're just here for people who need a reminder.

The response has been overwhelming — letters, tears, people pulling over to take photos. It’s a quiet kind of magic.

If you’ve seen them… we’d love to know what it meant to you.

The federal government has pulled the funding for the national 988 suicide and crisis line extension for LGBTQIA+ youth, but Illinois is vowing to keep its line open.

The Illinois Department of Human Services announced this week it will continue to provide mental health support services for LGBTQIA+ youth, despite the Trump administration's decision to shut down the subnetwork.

The state is encouraging everyone who could benefit from crisis hotline to use it.

IDHS funds Illinois' 988 contact centers, and the agency says it started working to ensure it would still be able to provide free, confidential, and culturally competent services after learning of the Trump administration's plans to shut down the LGBTQIA+ extension.

Now, not only is Illinois keeping the extension -- it's doubling down, working to expand LGBTQIA+ youth-specific counselor training, compiling relevant resources with the state's call centers to make sure they're giving "culturally competent" referrals, along with continued advertisement of the 988 Lifeline by using LGBTQIA+ affirming messages and imagery

Takuzo Aiden, project lead, said “Children cannot choose the planet they will live on. It is our duty as scientists to ensure we leave them with the best possible environment.”

Aiden said that the new material is as strong as petroleum-based products but breaks down into its original components when exposed to salt. Those components can then be further processed by naturally occurring bacteria, thereby avoiding generating microplastics that can harm aquatic life and enter the food chain.

As salt is also present in soil, a piece about five centimetres (two inches) in size disintegrates on land after over 200 hours, he added.

The material can be used like regular plastic when coated, and the team are focusing their current research on the best coating methods. (Reuters 6.4.2025)
