I do NOT understand how a professional office with more than 40 staff can produce anything like this - and on top of it claim that its a revised version.
I am curious what the original version looked like! 🤢

UNBELIEVABLE! And I have still not found the words to describe the shoddy content!

Happy Furball Friday!

It may be Halloween, but Furball Friday beats any holiday in my book.

Today it's handstanding Bear. So cute!

Thank you, @citycastnash.bsky.social and Happy Halloween everyone!

From the National Low Income Housing Coalition:

Older Adults Account for Nearly One-Fifth of the Nation’s Population Experiencing Homelessness.

This is based on federal data collected by the Dept. of Housing and Urban Development.

It's important to understand that when people come out to protest in very small towns like Ashland City, TN, and the numbers for No King 2.0 triple - that's a big deal!

Many of the signs were not against any one party. They were PRO Democracy!

About 100 folks showed up in Ashland City! About three times more than three times more than for the last No King demonstration.

Someone else seems to like Furball Friday nearly as much as I do!

I'll have to say hi to Bronco at Church Street Park soon when I'm there for Unseen Nashville, the new street tours The Contributor now offers.

Lilly is a three-year old Bernese Mountain Dog. She is enthusiastically happy. Lilly likes going on walks as long as they remain under half a mile. She does not care about personal space or boundaries.
Here you see her after she jumped on the coffee table to try to get my attention. She won.

Furball Friday is my new tradition to the weekend!

Bennett is beautiful and reminds me of my own furball, Lilly (see her pic in my comment).

September is Infant Mortality Awareness Month
We can help prevent a large portion of infant deaths if we provide housing for pregnant moms and their families and get them out of overcrowded situations.
Metro should prioritize EVERY pregnant mom, especially those in the second and third trimesters.
