Dear people who don’t use turn signals, you’re garbage people.

Been saying this since 17.

It wasn’t the CA bar, but I was there when Jing studied for and passed the NY bar in 2011. Bot once did she consult psychics. She did, however, lock essentially lock herself down and studied for a whole summer.

I’m not the luckiest person in the family, that’s Mom, but I have gotten a bit of the charm. I bought a Dinotopia book from NPL a few months ago for the kid and decided to buy the rest of the main collection. Well, the first book came today and not only is it a 1st edition it came with extra bits.

It may be frigid come Monday, but it’s a gorgeous day today.

I don't have any streaming services, so I went to the library to browse and saw they have High Life. I've seen clips so took a chance. It's non-linear so it's kind of hard to follow but the thing that tripped me up the most was slowly realizing one of the actors is Andre 3000.

Now that's a good idea.

If I was a Dem running for office in this state, I might feature this very prominently in an ad. www.tennessean.com/story/news/l...

I've been going around the house for the last month saying "Ghosts" in my fake Wisconsin accent. I got the BBC series from the library today and kept doing it. Jing asked why I keep saying it like that and I have no reason other than I think it sounds funny. Gohsts.

I'm gonna start an SESL class. Southern English as a Second Language. Lesson 1: The Use of Y'all, All Y'all, and Rest of Y'all.

Some in Nashville are pushing for bus rides to be free during the shutdown. In the meantime, WeGo is providing more signup opportunities for its Journey Pass free rides program. wpln.org/post/as-the-...

We create so many unnecessary burdens for both the provider and recipient rather than doing the morally correct and bureaucratically efficient thing.

Updates from MAC journey pass distro event #2: -people are being denied passes for not having accepted documentation -they are accepting physical EBT cards as proof of snap -they are accepting homelessness affidavits our outreach workers brought with *just in case*

THEY ARE NOT ALLOWING ANY MORE PEOPLE IN LINE AT MAC TO RECEIVE JOURNEY PASSES. Tell your people so they don’t waste time and money trying to get there. This was entirely avoidable. We knew people were going to come out like crazy for these passes. Free bus access is life changing. #bagthefarebox

Council just unanimously approved a bus fare suspension amendment to a SNAP resolution (left). WeGo announced new Journey Pass enrollment events earlier today (right) but council just sent a clear message that we must do more Share these events with SNAP recipients and service providers:

Old and Busted: Candidates on Ozempic. New and Fresh: Candidates stacking plates.

News Channel 5 just illustrated $28 on a week of WeGo fares give you a whole day of three square meals. Bag the box.

Heard from a volunteer with Dream Streets yesterday. They extended their food distribution hours bc people were choosing between getting a Journey Pass and getting food… exactly what advocates warned would happen. Bag. The. Box.

There's a place out in Bon Aqua that I keep an eye on cause they get some real interesting cars. When I had my 5th Gen Mustang I was very much not a fan of the 4th Gen or the Fox Body. But the more I get older I really kind of dig the Fox Body. It's sexy. www.nichemotors.com/available-un...

As someone who has worked with youth of all ages. The worst age is 12 by a mile. Maybe 13 cause age is more of a window of development than a hard fact. Except one very hard one: 7th grade is the absolute worst. Two-year-olds have nothing on 7th graders. All the hormones, no reflective skills.

There’s a good contingent of right wing Catholics that think the line of papal succession has been false since the Second Vatican Council (when the church went woke because they could do Mass in the common language).

This is what happens when you auction off your brain, heart, and general politics to the highest bidder. These folks are audience captured and that audience ain’t you or me.

Stop saying it's bed time. There's dozens of paying attention to the people's business.

@maxabutler.bsky.social gets a shoutout from the council in the wild. Sorry, no boost for A Little Prayer. Probably against The Little Hatch Act.

Took this earlier tonight. They fell asleep right after. Like I should have.

Single Family Homes are now unsafe and breed crime now. Good to know.

The sartorial award for public speaker of the night at council goes to...

Salamanders! Finally! That's a Bingo!

If I try and build a He-Shed in the back for my morning constitutional while reading the paper is that technically a DADU? A DAD-DOODOO.

As an aside, why are we calling doors "ingress and egress?" It's the doors. Don't block the doors.

@themanaen.bsky.social speaking truth on a fare freeze for WeGo. People are going to have to choose between food, getting to food banks, and getting to work. And as an FYI, Trump has already said they are going to go against the court order to release funds. www.huffpost.com/entry/trump-...

I get the sense tonight's council meeting might be a wild one. I know it's been a minute, and that's my fault, but opening up the Metro Creatures Discord if anyone is interest. If you're not already on there, DMs are open. Only rule right now is be a decent human being.

Jing bought a Xmas sweater cause it matched some we own. Problem is the smallest size was for an older toddler. She also bought converses thinking the size “X” M meant number of months. It did not.

Man if Cuomo just got cooked because Trump stuck his nose it... I'm gonna die laughing.

Evenings were "overlooked in the first draft" for signing up people for Journey Pass!??!!!? One, I don't believe that. There are too many smart people in those rooms for that NOT to be a consideration. But two, if true, Jebus H. Christmas.

Pizza night at home.

As a fun aside, the kid was fighting us putting on their sleepy clothes. Threw this on the phone to distract. She instantly fell asleep. J/k, but they did stop violently wiggling and just looked at me thoroughly confused.

Interesting. @erinfor12.bsky.social, please make sure this is a roll-call vote. Names need to be known.

I’d argue going one step further, anyone that rides the bus does so fare-free. No means-tested fights.

Me: Ah, fall back. I get to sleep in. Pets: you sure about that? Kid: yeah, about that…

If only there were two people running in TN congressional races to tell this ding dong to knock it off and set themselves apart.

Jing sent this photo (minus the sticker, I added that) to Na-Na and Pop-Pop. I said “they’re too skinny.” She yelled from the other room “No, they’re not” and was 100% serious. 💀 Bonus: made that pumpkin work as a jack-o’-lantern
