I would like to do things without having to drive a car. He/him. #nashville

This one is for all the new people on #Mastodon: did you know that the #fediverse has more than just a microblogging replacement? And that they can all interoperate with your Mastodon account?

Check them out!

Hey look! Books!

This is from #Haymarket books, and is a book bundle of key, recent releases at the intersection of abolition and feminism.

Abolition Feminisms Book Bundle

At a political moment when the urgency of radical, anti-carceral and anti-capitalist politics is clearer than ever, we've put together a book bundle of key, recent releases at the intersection of abolition and feminism. The Abolition Feminisms Book Bundle includes: Shira Hassan’s landmark account of liberatory harm reduction politics; Angela Y. Davis, Gina Dent, Erica R. Meiners, and Beth E. Richie’s pathbreaking rebuttal to those who think of abolition and feminism as separate—and even incompatable—political projects; Ray Acheson’s urgent and accessible analysis of the overlapping structures of state violence that define our terrain of struggle; and Alisa Bierria, Jakeya Caruthers, and Brooke Lober’s field-spanning two volume anthology bringing together many of abolition feminism’s key thinkers. Get all five books for (less than) $55 until November 21st. For further reading, check out Abolition Now! Haymarket Books Against Policing & Mass Incarceration.

@busesarecoolactually @irizoris There is no reason Downtown or Midtown couldn't have look like this, other than our repeated choices. Glad she's getting a different view of things!

My kid is en route to ASLA, the annual landscape architecture conf. En route, she's exploring Charlotte and sending pics.

Kid: "Nashville doesn't have a business district [with tall trees and public transport such as trams]."

Me: "Yes, Nashville has a business district. But it's only 12 blocks and it's now the tourist district. And no trees or trams."

#introduction: howdy. I’m Whitney. Careers include #journalism (Entertainment Weekly, Fast Company, a billion other outlets), #voter #advocacy, #communityorganizing, #musicmanagement (dead to me), and helping #WorldCentralKitchen feed people. Interests include being #outdoors, #running, and not dealing w creeps. Born & raised in #Houston, lifelong #Astros fan. Currently a #lifeguard with a lot of #opinions. Living in #Nashville with my #dog, Wally, and going through #Twitter separation anxiety.

If you're new here, Pixelfed is a photo sharing app that's roughly "like Mastodon, but aimed at replacing Instagram rather than Twitter"

The cool thing is that you can follow a Pixelfed account from a Mastodon account, and vice versa (this works via the ActivityPub protocol). The project is still under development, but I'm optimistic about its potential

I moved servers. More later.
