💛🤠 blessed to play music with my friend today!!!

Where else should I look at PhD programs? My area of interest is transportation, specifically highway and road reduction, researching the economic, safety/health, and cultural factors.

TODAY is publication day for my first book! If You Want to Win, You’ve Got to Fight: A Guide To Effective Transportation Advocacy is a practical guide for people who want to make #transit, #bike, and street safety changes in their community Check it out at islandpress.org/books/if-you...

After the law went into effect, we find that it produced a major boost in spending on streets/highway-related investment, adjusted for inflation. But spending on non-streets/highway investment, like rail transit, flatlined. States & cities *reduced* spending on rail transit after the law passed.

I really thought Boring Company was gonna try to do business in Memphis (maybe they still are) , because: 1. We already have a tunnel from the airport 2. Saw one of their employees on bumble one time, meaning they are physically here. 3. XAI is here already Nashville is a bigger market tho ig

Who are the academics researching reduction of car usage/dependency, focusing on equity & economics? I am looking into PhD programs. Thanks

What’s the best way to spend $1 billion for transportation? Our latest report shows the positive impacts of every $1 billion shifted from highways to transit and identifies key policy levers to shift transportation investments away from highway spending. climateandcommunity.org/research/let...

I would like to follow more economists / academics whose focus is on alternatives to growth. Any recs?

I REGRET WATCHING THE SEASON FINALE OF “THE CURSE” I AM NOT GOING TO BE ABLE TO SLEEP 😭😭😭😭😭😭

Guy in the truck: “I’m sorry” Me carrying my bike around: “you’re not sorry, you’re just sorry you got caught!!!” (Huge smile and laughing) Trying out saying what I mean but in a super nice tone just to confuse ppl.

I have exhausted my Memphis dating options and now my strategy is to slide into the DMs of guys who live in Chicago and Nashville and convince them to move here.

I forgot to post this here. Anyway, please pay attention to xAI (and polluters in general) in Memphis. We deserve clean air. South Memphis ESPECIALLY deserves clean air - they’ve been dealing with polluters, cancer, asthma, for decades. (Shelby Co Health Dept public hearing a few months ago)

I’ve returned from Sicily back to Memphis. I was on a 12-day city planning research project in San Berillo. There are many similarities between that neighborhood and Memphis. One thing that keeps jumping out to me: we must solve poverty. And city planners cannot solve this alone.

Ok I’m back on here but my timeline is really depressing and idk what to do about it Not trying to ignore reality but need to prioritize my mental health & what’s in my control locally

Just logged in here and saw some posts and the Survivor finale was ruined for me UGHHHH 😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭 IM SO PISSED RN Be sure to mute stuff you don’t want spoiled I guess 😭😭😭😭😭

Bollards are like cops except they are always on duty, don’t get paid overtime, and don’t need to carry a gun to stop bad drivers

Thanks for sharing. I’m also familiar w Streets Are For Everyone based in CA. In addition to the various transportation, bicycle, and safe streets advocacy groups. A movement focused on car crash victims nationwide akin to Moms Demand could bring it to the forefront. www.streetsareforeveryone.org

this is me except eating burritos 😆

Do y’all like videos on Bluesky? #memphis

Redownloaded this app today because I met a Bluesky follower at the Botanic Gardens today! I 💚 the trolls!

Shorts weather again

Please report justinpearson1.bsky.social as impersonating a public official.

Hi Folks, I need your help. An account is impersonating me on Bluesky. Please report it. This is ridiculous!

I have reason to believe that @justinjpearson1.bsky.social is NOT ran by him or his staff and is an impersonator. I have reported the account. BEWARE.

xAI is promising Memphis a lot, while polluting via gas turbines and demanding more and more power and water to “win” the AI race, which will ultimately eliminate thousands of jobs

If you live in #memphis like I do, we should know what happened to Brownsville Texas when #SpaceX arrived. Now that #Elon is bringing the colossus #XAI super computer to Memphis, we may face the same environmental disaster.

I love overhearing people tell their traffic woes in coffee shops.

Something I said today: “I just got the ick rereading these texts”

Just 7 Memphis girlies who biked 12 miles in freezing, windy temps yesterday to get boba in celebration of Galentines Day

Elon Musk’s xAI said their gas powered turbines were “temporary” We just learned they filed permits to use them until 2030 South Memphis continues to be polluted. He cannot be trusted. www.commercialappeal.com/story/money/...
