Cville pedestrian just trying to find a continuous sidewalk and safe crosswalk. Now I have an e-bike so add more protected bike lanes to my wish list! (She/her)

Sarah Schulman, writer: ‘Perpetrators now present themselves as victims’
A decade ago, the intellectual published ‘Conflict Is Not Abuse,’ a book about the use of victimhood to justify cruelty. This practice has now become the norm worldwide

I'm so bad at shouting these things out until the last minute, but Shelter for Help in Emergency is holding a Vigil this evening at the Pavilion from 7-8. All are welcome to hold space for those in our area lost to domestic violence and honor survivors.

At this point AI is basically integrated with Epic, so at some point I imagine there will not even be a way to refuse consent.

Yay! I love the train and car-free travel. And the best part is getting to see the sunrises and sunsets along the way. Beautiful pic of the James, too.

Of course Willoughby is complicated by the fact that we are City and County - so it will be double the paperwork one presumes!

You have to accurately assess the problem to create proper solutions
Screenshot of article which reads: Partisan polarization is not the greatest threat to American democracy. 
It is a vivid and identifiable symptom of the real threat. And it is a popu-
lar frame because it blames no one. But because political polarization is 
a symptom, and not the root of the problem that ails us, “fixing” polar-
ization will not restore American democratic health.

At the time I was disappointed that she was elected to a position of power with the ability to push for policy changes and then squandered that by posting on facebook. I have no doubt what you say here is true, but I also think fb rants are a strategic mistake. *I have not read this but I will!

Well, indirectly? I watched them and it was helpful for me in explaining the amendments. I did email thrm the link so we'll see if they watch them of their own accord.

Update - both kids have agreed to vote for the amendments at least and I helped my son at college get an absentee ballot. At least a partial victory!

The fact that we all have fewer protected rights than a decade ago, and whether it is because of incompetence or animus, the Dems couldn't or wouldn't protect us, kind of makes it hard for me to make a convincing argument in favor of eletoral politics.

KattyWren @kattywren.bsky.social · 16/09/2026
The redistricting vote was a HUGE factor in this. What a collossal waste of everyone's time, energy, and millions of dollars for what? 'Your vote matters' rings pretty hollow after all that.

KattyWren @kattywren.bsky.social · 16/09/2026
One of the really sad things to me over the last decade has been to watch my kids become old enough to vote and almost immediately become so disenchanted and disappointed by all politics that they don't even want to anymore.

So, what exactly is the plan to protect pts who have had abortions from future prosecutors when everyone's EHR is integrated with AI and open to either subpoena or hacking?

KattyWren @kattywren.bsky.social · 08/09/2026
Unlike you, who can likely opt-out of vaccination by completing an exemption, women in abortion-ban states cannot 'opt-out' of having their bodily autonomy stripped away.

KattyWren @kattywren.bsky.social · 08/09/2026
Also f/u for asking me to fight for your right to not vaccinate when you didn't do shit to protect my right to an abortion. By stealing the slogan, too.

Except it's not 'your body, your choice' it's your kid's body and my kids' body and the school personnel bodies and everybody else's body!
Tweet from Zen Honeycutt 5.22

Just a heads up, Democrat Candidates: There İs not a single MAHA voter that will vote for you if you are:
1. Bashing Kennedy 2. Forcing vaccine mandates 3. Doing nothing about pesticides in our food It's a stretch-I am not saying MAHA will vote Dem, and am not speaking for all just from what am seeing...but MAHA definitely won't vote Dem if you are doing the above three things.
Want our votes? Collaborate with Kennedy. Let kids go to school and summer camp unvaccinated if their parents choose ( my body, my choice, right?). Do something about any one of the 86 pesticides that have been banned in other countries. And some MAHA voters might consider.

I think about how much the George Floyd and broader BLM movement that year were possible because organizers and participants had the time and ability to dedicate to them. And that freaked out the rich for sure.

Hire counselors, hire RJ facilitators, hire de-escalation and mental health professionals. Hell, hire a couple of Jiu Jitsu black belts for security if you want. It doesn't need to be cops and it doesn't matter how benign they appear in the news story they wrote for themselves.

And I watched the video of her Southern Accents cover - an incredible song already - and just bawled. For her and Tom and for all of us. I just want humanity to live up to be the people who deserved what Dolly gave us.
