It will be interesting to see how attendance at this event compares to the TN Beer, Wine & Shine festival that's a few weeks after it at the same location.

I'm attending John Lewis Actions's event, “Protect Our Vote. Protect Our Future.” - sign up now to join me! www.mobilize.us/john-lewis-a...

Next Wednesday the Homelessness Planning Council (HPC) meets. The group will nominate/vote on a new Chair. Because the HPC is bound by the same open-meetings guidelines as every other body, I'm not sure if our current Chair wants to have another year, or if we'll be led by someone else. 1/

New voter registration cards just dropped.

A Kansas City-based real estate investment trust with about $7.1 billion in investment has acquired the Percy Priest Lake-fronting property home to Nashville Shores.

The downtown library's 25th anniversary event was so fun! Thanks to everyone at Nashville Public Library and the foundation for their work. 🤩

First zinnia!

My husband (who tolerates my Metro talk but doesnt know who anyone is) asked tonight who the guy with the beard is who speaks at every meeting.

Someone tell Michelle Flynn the moratorium bill wasn't defeated.

Why can't we have nice things here.

I feel like we shouldn't do anything on July 7 but public comment on data centers.

Working tonight on a new post to be published tomorrow on Hate Comes to Main Street about how extremists, including a group controlled by a prominent American fascist, are studying the racist riots in Belfast. Subscribe now to get notified as soon as it is published. (Link below.)

The never ending story: The Metro Nashville Airport Authority voted in a specially called meeting on Wednesday to sue the state again over a takeover of the airport authority.

I appreciate nobody raising their hands tonight.

I am not scheduled for a blood boiling tomorrow.

My beautification Commissioner had all of her raised flower beds that she had spent time and Metro $ on upended to build a sidewalk without notification. So, I can appreciate this resident's frustration.

Who needs a white chicken in their lives?

NOAA is predicting geomagnetic storms could make the northern lights visible farther south later this week.

Beautiful night at Two Rivers Mansion for the Nashville Symphony!

I went to the YWCA Weaver center yesterday for a tour. I don't fully understand (yet) how many DV survivors we turn away from shelter options because we lack capacity.

I went by the USACE/TWRA Kids Fishing Rodeo this morning and there were kids fishing. 🎣 I learned that the TWRA stocked the Cook Day Use pond with plenty of fish for free fishing day. 🎣🎉🙌

I wish I had known that before we had Fabian Bedne come to Rules for his reappointment last week. I would've asked different questions.

We are having big fun in Promise Land TN today! Join us for food, fellowship, music, arts, crafts and storytelling. Join me as I continue my research on the history of Fish Sammiches and Sweet Tea in Middle TN. 🤔😋🧵 #Reconstruction #Food #AfricanAmericanHistory

After spending the evening with the Red Frogs, my 2 cents is that Metro/NDP could hand out water or offer charging, and it wouldn't be anything like the Red Frogs. Red Frogs is doing more mission-driven culture change work around safety. The water/charging stations are the means, not the result.

Mobile workshop sessions for NLC are out: citysummit.nlc.org/mobile-works...

I'll be with them tonight at 6 until 1 or I get sleepy so I will report back.

This Saturday join the US Army Corps of Engineers and Percy Priest Lake for a Kids Fishing Rodeo. It is being held at the Cook Day Use Area in District 12, Hermitage. Register using the QR code below. 👇 🦞

Here's where we will likely have the best sky viewing conditions tonight, if you're looking for northern lights.

New (to me) terrible thing

Who broke the gate?

6/1. Today we are under a Slight Risk (level 2 of 5) for severe storms today, and NWS-Nashville says the main concern is damaging straight-line wind. After today, the pattern flips quiet and pleasant for most of the week. Storms should be east of us by 3-4pm.

Last term, we had what felt like the start of a promising framework around the community safety/public safety distinction. Some of this sounds familiar. ---- Nashville is Creating a Community Safety Plan — Here's What Residents Have Asked for So Far nashvillebanner.com/2026/06/01/c...

www.nyc.gov/content/summ... Oh my god. A website by government that feels like the modern internet? Beautiful colors? Intuitive UX? All just to help people experience their city for free? I could cry.

I stumbled upon Metro Council meetings on YouTube from 2012 and it looked like they were from 100 years ago.

At a DG Pencil event and ran into Big Fella (Nashville Entertainment Commission member), who had just flown in from shooting a Judd Apatow comedy in Savannah.

BREAKING NEWS: Gov. Cox issues executive order on data center development, directing state agencies to now prioritize protection of water resources, Great Salt Lake, utility ratepayers, air quality, wildlife impacts, transparent public engagement. Updates on @fox13news.bsky.social ASAP. #utpol #Utah

Oh, maybe a trek to Bellevue is in order 🌱

Ken Paxton is the most corrupt politician in America.  He embodies the broken system we’re running against. It’s time to come together: The People vs. Ken Paxton

The zinnias are zinnia-ing. I have given away 90 seedlings from my raised bed. The image below are the seeds from @quinevanssegall.bsky.social. The orange one is one I bought. Next time I may adopt a better strategy other than "Let's just put all of them out and see what happens!"

Single excel workbook form = 18mb. Just tell me you hate me and be done already.

Memorial Day is best enjoyed on a bike! If Metro welcomed it, we would gladly return to the Stones River Greenway (and elsewhere potentially!). Thanks for riding!

Why can't Donelson-Hermitage have nice things. And why was it so muggy.

Seeing the council liaison from Metro Water calling on a Friday night is always bad news.

I have seen Phil Ponder twice in two days, and I am always struck by how together a man in his 90s is.

Doug was so happy. 😄

Read all the hijinks in District 12. It's a zoo out here. 😄 👇
