Happy Earth Day. Here's one way that environmental classism can manifest (from Coleman Park on Thompson Lane & Nolensville Pike, next to a library and community center)

when you're sitting in dumbass traffic on Nolensville Pike full of giant cars with just one (1) person in them, and then you see a car with ZERO (0) PEOPLE IN IT

Deeply, deeply tired and saddened knowing that yet another ped/cyclist death has occurred within walking distance of my house, and the response will be... nothing.

Another death on a city-owned road, in an area with a lot of pedestrians and cyclists. Harding Place doesn't have sufficient sidewalks and zero cycling infrastructure. Within ~1mi there have been 2 ped deaths, 1 car death, and ~4 nonfatal ped crashes.

The most important business in South Nashville is the ice cream truck that plays Christmas music yearround.

The Kroger on Edmonson Pike today, inexplicably, was just playing the Jubilee album by Japanese Breakfast.

35 human beings have been killed on Nashville roads so far this year, up 25%.

@gib-jeffries.bsky.social wrote about recent fatalities on Murfreesboro Pike and Lafayette, both in the High Injury Network, and I think his questions are spot on: "Are NDOT and TDOT committed to working together to reduce fatal accidents on this road?"

Last week I got to visit a real hidden gem in Nashville: the Trevecca Urban Farm. They use permaculture techniques to support all kinds of native and domesticated plants and animals, produce their own soil, and reduce water use.

You know who else is weak on crime?

In Nashville, we really desperately need legislation that exempts urban farms from paying for sewage treatment on the water they use.

Hi! We had a wonderful conversation with @jesusurbanist.bsky.social a few weeks back: nashville.citycast.fm/podcasts/who...

A brief Easter reflection, or an outlet for no longer having a pulpit on Easter Sunday.

Many blessings to everyone this Good Friday, but especially to the random unnamed naked guy in Mark 14 who runs away at Jesus's arrest.

I never meant to become the Bench Lady.

This article is a little late and doesn't really rise to the occasion - they didn't get a statement from anyone involved with the benches or NDOT. But more importantly, it misses the point of the benches.

Lutheran ministry + affordable housing on church land + homemade bench + anti-zoning statement, and I didn't even do it.

I've joined yet another social media website, against my better judgement, because of @kjgarner.bsky.social
