Rural life in an urban setting. Trees, bugs, flowers, politics, people, food & music. A semi-rural holdout living on the edge of a rapidly-expanding city.
@ATCEMS @AustinFireInfo @Austin_Police What a sad and terrible thing. My heart goes out to everyone involved, to the families of the fatalities and to everyone who worked the scene.
The sidewalks in this area need improvements. The increase in vehicle traffic due to the new traffic pattern from the 183 project make that area much more dangerous for pedestrians and bicycle riders. The city should upgrade the sidewalk and the bike lane to meet the new demand.
#ATXTrafficFatality FINAL Auto-Pedestrian Incident at Crumley Ln / Montopolis Dr (18:30). #ATCEMSMedics have obtained a deceased on scene pronouncement for an adult patient, who was reportedly struck by a vehicle. Expect #ATXTraffic delays in the area, no other info available.
@juliogatx It would be nice it APD responded or investigated, but at this point, I'd be surprised to see them up their game in any way, shape or form.
They are getting by doing as little as possible, why would they make more work for themselves?
Happening tomorrow in NYC. My brother-in-law runs this very cool thing where writers and journalists read things they wrote. It's always interesting and fun. If you're in the area, you might want to check it out.

@TXMomStrong@KXAN_News You mean that you don't want to see a man in a dress. It's pretty obvious that there are other people (who are not you) who do want to see a man in a dress.
It's all about personal rights. Men have a right to wear whatever they choose to wear and you have a right to look away.
Trump wants to impose a 20% import tax (i.e., tariff) on all imported goods. He also wants to deport 50-70% of farm workers (the estimate of those who are undocumented).
What do you think will happen to the prices of fruits and vegetables? 🍊🍅🍌🥕
@YourAnonNews No, that's not what should happen. Just because Trump acts inappropriately doesn't mean it's ok to act that way. Bad people acting bad should make good people want to make the world better. The whole world, not just their corner of it.

@DrCABerry I understand. I've assigned today to mostly just feeling bad and disappointed, but I'm also beginning to think about how people can work at the state and local level to prevent as much harm as possible.
My poem for the day:
