Here's the presidential election results mapped in the Kansas City metro area.
Half of the KC metro is in Missouri, where voters approved measures to legalize abortion and increase the minimum wage.
In this 🧵 you'll find maps of the ballot measures and a link to an interactive version of this map.

Throwback to, in preparation for my mother's wedding, I got my hair cut by my stepdad's barber Roscoe.
Roscoe wasn't super familiar with cutting hair for white people, so when I told him I wanted my hair cut "short" I got a buzz cut.

11 years ago, I offered to teach a girl in my English class how to drive a manual. After driving around in the abandoned Metro North Mall parking lot, we went to Jimmy Johns in North Kansas City.
Today's our 7th wedding anniversary and we went to the same Jimmy Johns

Being woken up by the sound of a trash truck beeping down your street, urgently jumping out of bed to take the trash to the curb shirtless while it's 30° outside, only to look around and see your neighbor doing the exact same thing

There's a white squirrel that lives down the street from me. I've been trying to get a photo of it for months. It's been my white whale.
I finally got a photo of it today.

There’s a "femininomenon" coming to Kansas City. It's one of just three cities Missouri-born pop star Chappell Roan is playing in the United States as a part of her “Visions of Damsels and Dangerous Things” tour.
Chappell Roan is taking over Kansas City. Here's where you can join the 'femininomenon'
Kansas City is one of just three cities on the U.S. leg of Chappell Roan’s “Visions of Damsels and Other Dangerous Things” tour — and it's something of a homecoming for the Missouri-born pop star.

It's so confusing to me that someone like this would exist. Why??
This is what happens when sidewalks and traffic calming, as part of an evidenced-based policy with #VisionZero principles, comes to an inner urban area of 1950s homes in Ottawa.
