Briley Pkwy, Nashville.
Truly amazing to see how hard Tennesseans will work to have a shot at beating the gerrymandered District 7. @aftynbehn.bsky.social's opponent is scared. No Republican has ever had to fight like this for the Volunteer State.

Greetings from Norfolk!
I'm with the USS Comfort- the ship that docked in NYC to help during the part of the pandemic when everyone was on ventilators and in morgue trucks.
Pepperidge Farm remembers.

So touched to see a gerrymandered district fight like hell for @aftynbehn.bsky.social. TN District 7, message your friends and make sure they have a way to the polls before they leave town for Thanksgiving. Everyone votes this time.

It's amazing that people from Louisville and Boston care so much about democracy they're willing to take the time to handwrite postcards urging us here in TN District 7 to vote for @aftynbehn.bsky.social.
WAY ahead of y'all.
I'm an early voter always, and I'm asking for Aftyn!

I made paper and finally the cycle from historian to bookbinder to papermaker to misumata/cotton/banana/flax gardener will be complete.
Next step: turn home into urban farm.

Yesterday I was invited to help scope out potential places for a historic marker (or two?) to help us all remember. With a little luck and some permissions, a ceremony for our Bass Street neighbors can become part of the lineup for Fort Negley’s grand re-opening in 2027!

This community descended from Black Civil War veterans lived here until the Urban Renewal period of the late 1950s and early 1960s, when the city pushed them out to make space for the interstates. People who lived here as children still live all around this city, and they remember!

It was here in the Green Property (recently acquired) that the children held rollerskate parties after their parents swept out the Block Brothers walnut warehouse after a week of hard work. It was here where the community raised hogs together so that everyone could season their beans and greens.

The neighborhood was home to the Bass Street church on one end, and a Juke Joint on the other, and on Sundays, descendants say that the music from both places battled in the streets producing a lively sound!

This beautiful corner of Nashville's Fort Negley Park is where the Bass Street neighborhood used to be.
During the Civil War, refugees from slavery lived here in crude encampments while they worked to build the fort. Then they fought in the Battle of Nashville, returning to settle with families.

SEND ME TO TROY AND WRITE ME INTO THE AENID because I was right. $3 billion in contingency SNAP benefits is missing- it was never in the pot to begin with and Justice Ketanji Brown Jackson exposed it.
Where is that money?

Thinking of all of our Mexican and our immigrant neighbors who can't be here because the inhumane policies of our administration have made them afraid.

I love how this scarecrow brings together a Middle TN folklore figure (The Bell Witch) with a downtown Nashville landmark- BellSouth's Batman building. Well done, Templeton Academy!

I watched this show about an orphan bookbinder who was also a murderer and the bookbinding parts looked really fun so I took a class and it was great, so I ordered supplies and now that I'm typing it out it looks bad but aren't you glad it was the bookbinding and not the murdering that attracted me?

There is a tree in Nashville that I'm pretty sure was pulled up into a tornado when it was a sapling, but it had strong roots and it survived. I visit it every time I'm at Centennial Park. When I first moved here, it was barely taller than me, and now it's an adult!
