HookedOnChange

Going through my reel from today and found a short clip of what led up to this amazing shot by @staceywescott.bsky.social

Gotta hand it to the guy - a lot of us scattered from the gas; he just parade marched back through it like it weren't shit

If you think you have no one to talk to call or text 988. And if you own a gun, lock it. Here’s the newest update on my Tennessee gun death blanket for 2025. I crochet a flower for each gun death. 🧶

I haven’t posted much about my new project. Here’s a new video. I crochet one flower for each Tennessean we loose to gun violence. Safer Memphis 365 is one organization to check out that’s working to reduce the violence in our community 🧶

If Tennessee had the gun death rate of our National Leaders—the nine states with the strongest gun safety laws—we could save 14,463 lives in the next decade. #gunviolence #tennessee #crochet

There are several good bills that have been introduced that would make Tennessee much safer. Please let your representatives know you support them.

Tennessee republicans are in the process of making our gun bills worse. Tennessee House Bill 856 and Senate Bill 1407 would establish that a person is justified, under certain circumstances, to use deadly force to protect their property. We do not need this. #endgunviolence

I’m crocheting a blanket to represent the Tennesseans we’ve lost this year to gun violence. 🧶 Each flower is one person who has been killed with a firearm.

Send Dems into rural America to talk about what Trump is doing. The Republicans are too scared and won’t show their faces…in the vacuum of messaging, there is power.

Tell the folks who is hurting them. Point to the GOP. Be the foil to the shit that’s happening. Be the party of the people.

Daughter: I need help
Me: with what?
D: this
M: what’s this?
D: my homework
M: what specifically do you need help with?
D: This problem
M: could you for the love of god elaborate further 😩

Thi was by far the hardest research I had to do. I spent 13 hours making sure I saw, read and absorbed the info to ensure I gave Matthew Shepard respect. Shout out to @HBO for having the Laramie proje... TikTok video by Brendo_licious

Tornado sirens are going off. I said I was giving the dog her calming treats. Kiddo says “Can I have some too?” 🤣

Many people don’t understand how bad the gun laws are in Tennessee. We can close loopholes to make us much safer. #crochet #gunviolence #tennessee

Kiddo asks for some music for homework time. I put on @amyray.bsky.social Joy Train and all of sudden there’s no homework only dance party in the kitchen.

Donald Trump spent $18 million on security to watch the Show Bowl in person.

But DOGE wants to shut down Medicaid to save money.

DODGY!

We hear about the many warning signs indicating that shooters posed a serious threat before a shooting with numbing regularity. Extreme Risk laws give key community members a way to intervene before these warning signs escalate into tragedies without going through the criminal court system.

Many states allow firearms to only be surrendered to law enforcement or sold to a licensed dealer. Of the thirteen states that allow third party dispossession, Tennessee laws and process are by far the weakest. My crochet project to document lives lost in Tennessee 🧶

hey question, is this bad?

You would think that the first public reaction from the president after a horrific air crash would be to offer sympathy to the victims and their families, not to wonder why they didn't move out of the way.

The billion-dollar @GovBillLee voucher scam passed committee today with Republicans allowing ZERO questions on the bill — and will likely pass the house during an 8PM (!) session tomorrow night, under a tickets-only balcony

A farce. Welcome to Speaker Sexton’s Tennessee 🎪

GOOD NEWS: A federal court temporarily halted President Trump's order to freeze all federal funding, including grants for public health, education, and safety.

Trump's order would have devastating consequences for communities in every corner of the nation. Our leaders must block it for good.
