A study came out today in the Tennessean that said the income needed to be “comfortable” in Nashville is $111K
We have a “poverty trap” and it’s driving the destruction of social cohesion.
The “poverty line” is’t 35,000, it’s $150,000, and making more than one, and less than the other is worse than being “poor”.
Which is why the rage.

It’s really not very complicated. You can buy studded tires for the price of wipers, fluid, oil change and tire rotation one time for a car. Nice infra makes biking entirely pleasant almost every day of the year.
Rode Hennepin into downtown this morning. There was some crunchy ice, a few rough spots, some annoying gusts of wind, but active clearing and studded tires made it rideable.

The problem is you're faster than the traffic and should be able to pass it. I don't have time to sit behind cars, I got places to be

This part. Teachers are so undervalued and underpaid and loudly told both "you're essential" and also "you suck and if you say a word out of line, you might get fired and/or be targeted for harassment by the most powerful people in the country"
And of course we get the brain-dead political analysis. The biggest crisis of public education (and the greatest threat to kids with mental illness) is the Republican Party's funding cuts. But guess who gets blamed in the conclusion of the article?

This week in Art I Am Obsessed With: this self-portrait by Suzanne Valadon. It looks so incredibly contemporary (I would literally wear that exact outfit on hot summer day) but it’s from 1923. Anyway, love a queen with flowy pants and a dangling cigarette!

Rudy Bridges is younger than the Sitting President of the United States and 29 sitting United States Senators
It’s useful for people of my generation to be reminded that this wasn’t that long ago. Ruby Bridges isn’t just still alive—she’s only 71, not ancient!
65 years ago on Nov. 14, little Ruby Bridges was escorted into an all-white elementary school in New Orleans. Norman Rockwell, renowned for blissful depictions of Americana, did this remarkable painting for Look magazine. Printed as a double page, over-size spread, it's his masterpiece.

A black Nissan Rogue, TN plate 3 PD 3046, Davidson County, bumped me while I was riding my bike on Charlotte Ave today, near 28th in Nashville. I was not injured or knocked off my bike, but he drove close enough to hit my elbow. TN law says to give bikes 3 feet of room when passing.

Besides my friend, I also saw people run stop signs, speed around someone (head on into my lane) in a school zone, and this parking job. Cars, man…

We fundamentally misunderstand these things about streets:
1. Streets are a liability, not an asset.
2. Street design is the primary factor in crash prevention and safety.
3. Streets should prioritize human movement, not automobile movement.
