@cResources This is due in large part, I think, because Indiana still allows you to vote straight party ticket. We’re definitely a red state, and my hunch is a lotta Republicans just voted the ticket without considering him individually.

@IndyEleven Tell us you need to appease Republicans in order to get your tax breaks and cash handouts, without telling us you need to appease Republicans to get your tax breaks and cash handouts…

Great piece on John Hardrick (1891-1968) — the city’s first celebrated Black painter with awards, exhibits, commissions locally & around the country. Read how ancestors, artists, and historians are working to bring attention to his legacy and his lost work.

[IndyStar @indystar]

John Wesley Hardrick found fame across the nation by painting Indiana. His famous works reside in prominent museums and private collections. But some of his pieces have vanished, building up a legacy defined by what has been found — and what hasn't. https://t.co/AwgfwFtChd

Most people don’t realize how big Indianapolis Motor Speedway actually is.

After weeks of IndyStar reporting, city officials cancel plans to build a morgue on top of the historical town Norwood. Residents happy but skeptical. https://t.co/3GSdd1PaI7

@mass_ave @Writer_LauraBee Wikipedia confirms my guess! 😊

[Laura McPhee @theLauraMcPhee]

@mass_ave @Writer_LauraBee I think maybe it’s Debbie Harry (Blondie).

[Laura McPhee @theLauraMcPhee]

@cResources She gets mentioned here as influence 😊 https://t.co/RAfonrJSLU

[Laura McPhee @theLauraMcPhee]

@cResources Wes Anderson did a companion book, and included a good amount of her work in it. Highly recommend 👍

@JamesEBriggs I think he wants to be Trump’s VP pick if he runs in 2024. Totally serious.

@tmdavis6378 Sending much love your way, Tom. Today must’ve been very hard. ❤️

@texasdeath1113 @SQSupport I got a message from squared saying it’s a problem on Chase bank’s end. But I’ve seen posts from other people on Twitter who don’t bank on Chase and are having the same problem. WTF

[Laura McPhee @theLauraMcPhee]

@texasdeath1113 @SQSupport It’s still not working. I can’t reach anyone at Square.

[Laura McPhee @theLauraMcPhee]

@BizzaroMom85 @iamtwofacedd @WellsFargo @Square It’s still happening. I can’t make a transfer. And I can’t find a single human being to talk to about it at @square
