I am grateful for this! Thank you to all who made this a reality including tax payers!

This was 2wks ago! An abandoned car was towed. I appreciate NDOT tried to contact the owner for weeks, I get that; however in a month this could be my car or my neighbors’ car if we forget to move our car by 8am! Some have low income & we have no driveways. Towing is excessive! Why Napier area?!

I WILL always elevate my neighbors voices when laws are unjust & I will use my privilege to pursue change. I am so TIRED of change happening w/o truly seeking what the community wants. Recently…rezoning of schools, towing when one forgets its street sweeping day (no signage), broken promises & more!

…some elected off. are sadly the obstacle too. Most do a lot of good & then theres a defining MOMENT or two where elected officials have power to make change to laws/initiatives; ex: st. sweeping towing will disproportionately affect neighbors (esp. public housing).Posting for awareness & a reminder

2 yrs ago my friend DJ @urbaneastnash.bsky.social asked if we needed pumpkins for youth. I said yes but initially I didn’t realize the power of a pumpkin, now I do 🧡He is collecting funds again so that over 100 youth can have one. Consider sacrificing one pumpkin latte this week & donate $10 🙏🏾

Is this what the NIMBYS thought would happen in the Nations?!?!😬😆

Tonight was one for the books. CM Ellis was livid about something. Not sure all that energy was warranted given the Nations isn’t her district but I didn’t hear what was said. If we were in pedagogy she would’ve gotten a coaching on RR because its still not her forte 🫣

It passes. The End. Just the beginning of a beautiful future in the Nations.

City led grocery stores? Hell, yeah. Fill this out and/or share with your networks.

Not Jeff E. D11 quoting Freddie’s campaign slogan during council discussion of BL2025-830. All that for nothing because Robert’s Rules says “you can’t do that” in my NSC game voice.

The terror began immediately. Salvadoran guards beat them with their fists, boots and batons, shot them with rubber pellets, and forced them to lick other men's backs. What happened when we sent 230+ Venezuelans to a prison known for human rights abuses. www.propublica.org/article/vene...

2/ I shared the story of J going to college last yr. So many helped him. 🙏🏾When he left his fam was staying with a neighbor but that neighbor moved. His mom MDHA balance was $13K! I met with Dr. Troy (Ty Zulfat) from MDHA & they have changed rules where balances can never get that high. We tried 2/

I came to X fam last yr & hoping to get connects here. For those wondering J came home from UofA for a couple reasons, mainly his mom is STILL homeless. Who has connects to Metro Action? I have helped raise $5k but $8K remains. This sweet fam has been w/o a place for 20 mths😥 School starts 8/5. 1/

i talked about how single stair buildings offer numerous benefits over status quo construction - better daylight, ability to cross ventilate, potentially even dramatic cost savings www.archpaper.com/2023/03/why-...

My first vlog and its about moving my car to comply w/new street cleaning times & avoid a citation. I found out that around 11am one of my neighbors got one. 😬 NDOT pls don’t tow as folks forget. It’s been a long week. Oh and I should bike to work more often 💜

On Thursday we cover all aspects of the proposed $3.8 billion spending plan. It's your money, so join us. Guests: Councilmember Delishia Porterfield, Dr. Murat Arik and Austin Hornbostel. Call 615-760-2000 to join the conversation.

My friend Kelly just asked if a Council Fast Pass could be a thing for those of us who come to the gallery often?! If so sign me up lol but for real it’s good to see new and old faces. Also can we do budget hearing the week before or after CMA fest!It was like this last yr too bcuz #TrafficIsNoBueno

Based on my last post this is what Freshman X sent me: a letter stating why he wants a school bus to stay at McGavock High school. Or he is willing to take WeGO if service was restored on McGavock Pike so it doesn’t take almost 2 hours which includes 2 miles and gaps in sidewalk on McGavock Pike 1/

7:59pm Nashville council mtg being adjourn is UNHEARD of. That was faster than it takes my teen Napier neighbors to take WeGO and walk 2 miles to get to McGavock High! Btw CM’s please approve funding for WeGo “hook” for McGavock Pike so it doesn’t take 2 hours for teens to get to school/home. 🙏🏾

So I’m getting ready for work and I overhear my local news station report that FUSUS passed BUT I watched the council meeting so I know what the actual vote was about last night. Seriously though Channel 5 please contract my girl @startleseasily.bsky.social because WTAH!

Still out here riding the bus from time to time…don’t mind my facial expression, I just left Cordell Hull, iykyk. Shout out to the legislatures who truly care!!

Caught the last two hours of the council meeting. End time of 11:07pm, yup @startleseasily.bsky.social it was a late one.

Bus 55 selfie & 2nd pic: Bus 75 to Urbanism mtg. Every time I leave my barrio to take a bus 2 things usually happen 1) I get asked by a neighbor what happened to my car 2)I see bullets or casings on the ground.I choose to ride the bus on occasions but access is a necessity for most of my neighbors.

Nashvillians, 🦞I’m writing a piece on pre-holiday unstuffing. Looking to talk to you/your neighbor/family friend. 🦞

As we celebrate Native American Heritage Month in Nashville, there are a variety of events coming up.

Look at those two! Love them. #CouncilBesties
