My hometown of Indianapolis ❤️‍🔥

Image of a car-collision scene with a tow truck approaching to take one of the vehicles. Two police officers tend to the scene of the incident. Intersection of 43rd and Meridian streets on the near northside of Indianapolis.

I live nearby and just happened past. The police officer I just spoke with said that it was in fact a collision between two vehicles.

I must agree 🙃

Great to meet you!

🧡📚💚

Absolutely agree. Prefer it and love it otherwise but that is so lame.

Yes. I consider it weekly.

Opinion | What Some Animals Endure Before We Eat Them An insider offers a grim picture of life inside a cattle slaughterhouse.

“What I keep thinking about: If you torture one animal, you’re arrested and considered a psychopath. But if you abuse millions of them in a systematic, industrial process, you’re hailed for your business acumen. That’s an uncomfortable contradiction at the heart of modern dining.”
– Nicholas Kristof

So excited for this. Adding it to my StoryGraph post haste. If there’s any tennis scribe I want to read in longform, it’s you.

That works as well. Whatever keeps you/us self- and other-respecting, motivated, and action oriented in these precedented times.

Michelle Obama. Poised and regal as ever – and very much not in attendance today. Instead, she re-inaugurated her personal peace this week. Very demure, and very not at the same time. May we all do what we need this week and in these years.

I’m making like this wonderful person and re-inaugurating my personal peace this week. I am not on the scene, and definitely not making nice. I am entirely elsewhere.

May we all help each other, and do what we need – this week and in the times to come.

Our Amazon Prime membership ended Sunday. We won’t be returning.

A club I played usta sectional at in Chicago had all of these and more. Glam.

Well, Twitter has been cesspooling for quite some time, so here I am. Talking tennis, culture, lit, science, music + more. Because we all contain multitudes. There are no ordinary people.

You can also add me on LinkedIn and find me in the club: instagram.com/jonscott9 + instagram.com/slimpugvinyl

Pls add me + thanks for doing this, Courtney
