What is the overlap b/t people signing a petition to stop installation of speed _cushions_ and the drivers whose speeding is causing homeowners on streets with the highest-ranking documented speeding patterns to sign ballots affirming that they support installing them? www.wsmv.com/2025/01/15/s....

Thanks to @nashvillescene.com for helping to get the word out about the great work of Launch Pad www.nashvillescene.com/news/citylim.... The wave of anti-DEI pressure on corporations and other orgs only increases the need for others to step up to help young people who mostly need “someone to care.”

Thanks to @nashvillescene.com for covering the recent passing of Darek Tanner. Darek created space not just for LGBTQ+ Nashvillians but really for anyone who needed a friendly and affirming environment. Darek will be sorely missed.

Here are some key words/phrases in this announcement: “framework,” “best practices,” “starting point,” “guidance,” “for jurisdictions that are interested.” This is all well and good! But it sounds more like technical assistance than federal intervention to incentivize or finance housing production.

It was fun to check out the construction progress at the District Wharf since the last time I was here in 2021. Love the new fountain that juxtaposes natural stone with its texture and angular edges with the smooth, circular and curvilinear buildings and walkways that were designed around it.

Thanks to @victoryinstitute.bsky.social for organizing this AM’s #LGBTQLeaders24 plenary, The Future of Artificial Intelligence. The panelists from the industry, labor, journalism and legislative sectors held a robust discussion. Key takeaway: use the power of convening to reach positive outcomes.

I am grateful to @nc5philwilliams.bsky.social for reporting on local Gainesboro residents’ reactions to Christian nationalists’ efforts to take over the town. My mom’s family has been in Jackson County for about 200 years. It is heartening to see the community stand up to that kind of hate.

Will the closure of the scrap yard on Nashville’s East Bank really happen this time tinyurl.com/4jrh3wa5? Metro’s landing an Oracle campus just downriver and redeveloping the stadium campus next door may have shifted the market enough to make something financially viable. Excited to see what’s next.

This is a wonderful tribute to the late Father Charlie Strobel and the many people whom he has helped tinyurl.com/3hrrx6rb. Father Strobel started his Room In The Inn ministry at East Nashville’s Holy Name Catholic Church. It is terrific to see this mural feature the community that he championed.
