Hey look! Books!
This is from #Haymarket books, and is a book bundle of key, recent releases at the intersection of abolition and feminism.
https://www.haymarketbooks.org/blogs/475-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.
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."

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
