seems like a politics of revenge against people who live in cities, conducted on behalf of furious and demented republicans who will never visit those cities, and who are, at the same time, a little disenchanted with the movement

twice a year the entire U.S. press becomes a marketing extension of a single billionaire-owned retailer, and nobody in any position of editorial power thinks it's weird or gross

Absolutely amazing documentary I was lucky to see a showing of tonight at the Hi Pointe. Joining Walter Johnson, Gwen Moore (neither of whom are on bluesky) in the film to provide great historical context to Percy's one of a kind social justice action, is @devintoshea.bsky.social

Paula Abboud, 74, of St. Louis frequently visited the bookstore, often with her grandchildren. On Friday, she was with her husband when the SUV ran into both of them.

I'm going to be on the news one day for screaming at people like that. So help me.

I had the worst burrs on me because I had to dodge the entire sidewalk closure of the 20th street build underway up in St. Louis Place. They were ridiculously stabby and I can commiserate. We shouldn't have to wear boots or long pants just to travel around the city.

That corner is one of the worst offenders, but also I walked lots of Soulard yesterday and they definitely aren’t the only offenders. People sure get mad if you tell them their golf carts don’t belong on sidewalks.

Soldan High on Union is offline this school year due to the tornado. Old Euclid School was vacant and got hit hard. On bottom row are streetviews of damaged residences on Euclid near Euclid School.

Boarded up windows throughout the three story bastion of brick beauty.

Severe roof damage visible on the 3-4 story brick school.

Severe damage to a row of two story brick buildings. A ladder with a worker is visible on one... a sign of hopeful recovery.

I have seen a lot of decline even since winter 2023/2024. I feel like its days are numbered and it's such an interesting historic enclave there.

Oh my gosh, I was just on the other side of this house. I’m constantly worried it’ll be demolished so I was checking on it as I was coming back from my Soulard walk. I’m going to pretend we were on opposite sides at the same time.

One tried to get me today at Gravois, pulling out of an alley. Another on Jefferson, mad that another vehicle would dare yield to a pedestrian in a crosswalk. I should be able to walk to/from breakfast without fearing for my life and yet…

Voters approved a new tax on Airbnb-style rentals, but #STL officials didn't pass a bill authorizing collection.

Aldermen said they weren't told. City counselor's office said they were.

“There seems to be a lot of confusion about who is responsible for what.”

That one was so close to being even worse too. I’m just waiting for someone in the media to start blaming houses.

Every time there’s one of these, I calculate how close I was to it and wonder if a driver would have stopped for me. It’s inhumane. We shouldn’t have to live this way.

I started the series earlier this year because it was the oldest unread book on my goodreads TBR and now I’m onto book 4, a new release. I guess it’s time for me to find my next oldest series!

On a mostly vacant stretch of Olive, you do wonder why the city doesn’t make sure its own storefront vacancies at least feel activated, or find pop-up tenants at super low rent

It’s an emergency and must be treated as such. This morning’s story with multiple cars hitting a pedestrian and all just continuing their drive horrified me.

“This is the third case of a car crashing into a home in the last 48 hours.” The cars have gone wild and are attacking homes now! If only there was a human to stop them!!!
