1 inmate killed, 2 others injured in fight at Tennessee prison The South Central Correctional Facility in Wayne County has been placed on lockdown, according to CoreCivic.

If TN was a country we'd have the 9th highest incarceration rate on earth. It's because we privatized our system-Corecivic makes $ from locking ppl up, & they're not held accountable for failing to do so safely.Unacceptable that TN prisoners aren't safe. www.wsmv.com/2025/08/07/1...

I’m proudest of growing the most eggplant 🍆 ever

So far I’ve made two batches of salsa, eggplant stir fry, gumbo, roasted tomato sauce and a yummy caprese salad (those maters weren’t mine but the basil was)

Been a while since my last garden update. Here are pics of my most recent harvests 🪴 🍅

There is simply not enough to say about how bad this is. Not only will we miss out on cures for infections & things like pancreatic cancer, the US will fall behind in science, tech, economy, and while other countries will take this over it will still be slowed/delayed. It’s a national security risk!

Memphis organization dedicates $50K for bail for nonviolent offenders after man dies in jail custody • Tennessee Lookout Just City dedicated $50,000 toward bail for low-level offenders in honor of Rockez McDaniel, who recently died in the Shelby County jail.

Today in Tennessee criminal justice: the state executed a man in Nashville and in Memphis, seven (!) people have died in county jail this year. @cstephenson.bsky.social writes about an effort to provide bail for nonviolent offenders in Shelby County.

"They put up chain-link fences underneath the biggest bridges They pose in Christmas cards with guns as big as all their children They say that Jesus is the way but then they gave him a white face So they don't have to pray to someone they deem lesser than them The South will not rise again Til it's paid for every sin Strange fruit, hard bargain Till the roots, Southern Gotham" Hayley williams True Believer (2025)

If you haven’t heard Hayley Williams new song you really need to take the time to listen to it.

That’s what I thought when I watched this!

It’s glorious! I’m finally weeding my yard

Over on Instagram……

Change in OB/GYN Physicians Practicing Obstetrics After the Dobbs Decision This cohort study evaluates changes in the number of obstetrics and gynecology physicians practicing in Idaho after the Dobbs v Jackson Women’s Health Organization Supreme Court decision.

NEW: A JAMA study finds that "between August 2022 and December 2024 ... Idaho lost 94 of the 268 OBGYN physicians practicing obstetrics."

Just 20 new OBGYNs moved to Idaho in that time, "and 114 of the 268 baseline obstetricians" stopped practicing, left the state, or retired.

Great piece by @amwadoctors.bsky.social member @chloenazra.bsky.social! #medsky

Proud of the General for not agreeing to participate in an execution. 🦞

They did this same shit to @votegloriaj.bsky.social. She moved and won in a new district. Congresswoman Crockett should fight this but plan on moving if needed. We need her voice in Congress!

Agree with @delishiafornash.bsky.social 💯. Local communities deserve to have input on projects they will directly impact them.

⚡️ UPDATE: The state building commission just approved the gift of a free parking lot in downtown Nashville to the richest man in the world to build his Teslas-only tunnel from 4-0

15 people spoke against it
0 spoke for it

0 commissioners are from Nashville
0 in attendance were elected

Medicaid did this for my son. Saved his life when severe scoliosis was collapsing his lungs & beginning to interfere with his heartbeat.

I won’t back down. I won’t stop fighting. And I will never bow to political pressure.

I remember when this happened.

Elon Musk Gets Free Land, We Get Screwed. Fight Back! · Mobilize Tennessee officials are proposing a "no-cost" lease of nearly an acre of public land to Elon Musty... I mean Musk's Boring Company to start building a tunnel from the airport to the city. They're doin...

Our friends at the @theequityalliance.bsky.social are organizing to get people to show up at the TN State Building Commission meeting tomorrow (7/31) at 8am at Cordell Hull in House Hearing Room 2. Together, we can tell the state we don't want a private Tesla tunnel under our city! 🦞🦝🦝

How Tennessee's abortion ban has impacted early prenatal testing rates More women are opting for invasive prenatal testing earlier in their pregnancies to check for possible fetal anomalies.

“As a physician who wants to be able to take care of our patients, it causes moral distress to know that even if we diagnose a patient with an abnormality, and they choose to not continue the pregnancy because that's what's right for them and their family, we can't offer them that care in Tennessee"

This has been my labor of love for the past few months. Hope to see lots of my neighbors from CD6 there!

That was before we moved to town 😉

Anyone else remember the Silly Goose? Loved that place and their sandwiches.
