1971. That's nineteen seventy nine! We had a chance then.

If you think our tax $ should be spent to pay school cafeteria staff a living wage (and not to put police in schools), you're our people! Join us tomorrow!

I'll be keeping a close eye on my Zyahna for School Board sign! Thank you so much for getting it installed, Team Zyahna!

I missed a softball game in 8th grade to stand up for public education. I believed in our schools then, and I still do. My name is Zyahna Bryant, I’m 24 and I’m running for the Charlottesville School Board. I hope to have your vote in November. zyahnabryantforccs.com

“Mercy, Rock Me”

Is it time again to fly this flag? When a Black male college student is found hanging from a tree in Mississippi in 2025, this is neither an idle nor inflammatory question. www.pbs.org/wgbh/america...

She's got my vote! ❤️

I built a Mastodon bot that reports on Covid wastewater levels, which gives me weekly updates on how cautious to be depending on where I'm going. It turns out that @wvgg.co ported it to Bluesky and improved it, with twice weekly updates! Insta-follow for me. Recommended.

Thanks all you Foodies out there! You guys are the best! ❤️

Charlottesville friends! I need some recommendations for a quiet(ish) restaurant with good food for this Saturday at lunchtime. This coincides with the UVA-Stanford game set for 7:30pm. One is 89yo and has difficulty hearing and for the rest of us, we have difficulty competing with noise/chatter

Wow!

One of the reasons I trusted Bluesky when I started an account was it had a vibrant trans community, so this week seeing Bluesky mods putting thumbs on the scale to put them in danger has me thinking this may have become just another bad place.

The founding fathers had a lot of ideas that need updating for these times. The thing they didn't get wrong was separation of church and state. Religion in politics is core to the dysfunction of our time. Good governance keeps us going. Bad religion doesn't.

No argument here.

Today: ground beef 90/10 UP $5 PER POUND. I'd like to make baked spaghetti again in this lifetime so I bought a package.

❔ just wtf on god's green earth is going on here❔

Yay Virginia. Wegmans had vaccines this afternoon. I was turned away earlier in the week.

Anyone else in North Downtown just hear 6 unevenly spaced shots? Preston Ave?

****UPDATED TIME*** Now starting at 3:30 pm - just a half hour later. Please spread the word!

i’m not going to be lectured about political violence by people whose politics is violence

Meanwhile, listen to Jeff. Short thread. 👇🏽

This is how it's done. ✊✊🏾✊🏻✊🏽

Between 2022 and 2024, the Loaves & Fishes Food Pantry in Charlottesville saw a 92% increase in demand, and the numbers keep climbing. www.cvilletomorrow.org/local-food-b...

Was planning to watch the RFKJr hearing today UNTIL I reminded myself that I cannot handle listening to him speak!

❤️Matthew!

I keep circling back in my head to this “we are not a political organization” bit. ma’am you are quite literally a paid lobbyist for local business interests, advocating in front of our governing political body to pass an ordinance creating a new crime. don’t treat us like we’re fucking stupid.

‼️‼️‼️‼️‼️

Whoa! I did notsee this on my bingo card! 🤮

We gotta do better at housing these folks! I've always worried about their safety in general. With this recent "executive order", however, it is not inconceivable that they would face more threats of violence, courtesy of maga. It's beyond disappointing that Kochis supports the EO.

Go on with ya plucky selves!

Can't wait for the govt to tell ME how to spend MY social security funds. 😡

Tonight's musical mood. 🎶💕🎶

Many of people we worked with on the Charlottesville and Albemarle County Housing Resource Guide had the same request: Make a print version, and make it available in multiple languages. So we did. Here's how you can get yours. www.cvilletomorrow.org/now-you-can-...

The Republican candidate for governor in Virginia is a clown, as is obvious to anybody who has ever paid attention to her. She came late to the Police Benevolent Association endorsement interview, couldn't answer their questions, and just told unrelated stories. So they endorsed Spanberger, the Dem.

This is bad.

This is absolutely AWESOME! Honest question for Daniel and Dona: how do you do all these great projects? Are your days longer than 24 hrs? 'fess up. 😂

Mavis does it again (and again and again). 💕💕💕

Our community is proud to have Jamelle as a member!

Done!

What a strange way to say the babysitter has to come to your house! 😂

"This is not repair. This is not healing. This is exclusion dressed as development," Latricia Giles, executive director of the Public Housing Association of Residents, said during the meeting."

I can't believe that I've never before seen her pinned post. 👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽 ✊🏽 bsky.app/profile/magg...
