We are likely (hopefully) on the verge of another great cultural shift. As we interact with those who are waking up to reality, it may help to gain some perspective. Books by Tia Levings and podcasts like “Was I in a Cult” are potential places to start. #booksky

I love supporting local authors, and #Nashville is full of them! Today I want to highlight one who has a new release coming out soon. J.T. Ellison! Have you ever noticed that every new book has at least a hint of bright pink? She wears it a lot, too! Her in person events are lovely. #booksky

Sometimes, when I walk around Sumner County #Tennessee, I wear an #lgbtq positive shirt. Sometimes, I get dirty looks. It’s easier in #Nashville. Sometimes, people need to be reminded that we don‘t all think like they do, though. It’s worth making people think twice.

Rep AOC (D-NY) knows that we can’t leave the South behind we are doing important work to take back our state legislatures and to get Democratic judges elected. Tell your friends the further down the ballot you go the closer that politician is to affecting your personal life.🗳️🗳️

I was in MI during the first couple of smoke-filled days. It was bad. I lost outdoor #running, and a festival I had looked forward to was cancelled. Boo hoo. I never once thought about blaming #Canada for their WILDfires… that would have been utterly stupid. www.bbc.com/news/article...

Trump threatens new Canada tariffs over wildfire smoke in US cities

Canadian leader Mark Carney says both the US and Canada have an equal responsibility to fight climate change, which experts say are worsening wildfire conditions.

My heart went out to the staff and interns of The Elephant Santuary in Hohenwand, #Tennessee the other day. I didn’t meet Sissy, but I stood in humble adoration before her friends for a few brief, memorable moments earlier this year. She died loved. www.wsmv.com/2026/07/10/s...

Sissy, Asian elephant at Tennessee sanctuary, dies after 26 years of care

An Asian elephant captured in Thailand survived historic flooding before finding refuge in Hohenwald, Tennessee.

ICE lied about how Renee Good was shot. They lied about how Alex Pretti was shot. And now they’re lying about how Lorenzo Salgado Araujo was shot. Don’t believe their story for a second.

Another #Nashville gem is the Catio Lounge near Opryland. These cats are rescued, cared for, and up for adoption. Visitors pay to play, and the $ goes toward their care. These cats love visitors! One assumed baby position the second I sat down and held me captive for at least a half hour.

It’s beyond hot right now, so I have an indoor suggestion for #Nashville. Go see the Queen of Tennessee’s show at the Schermerhorn! Dolly narrates (very well, I might add), the symphony plays, and singers do her justice.

WATCH: “No debates. No town halls. No interviews. Marsha Blackburn is taking the votes of Tennessee Republicans for granted. It’s gross.” Kanew reacts to @marshablackburn running 🏃🏻‍♀️ from Ben Hall and refusing to answer questions.🐔 (“Good job, Ben. More of that.” 👏🏽)

Today, this introvert met and spoke with hundreds of people while volunteering at the #nashville #pride parade and festival, and it was pure joy! There must have been something in the air to make all those smiles so contagious. 😊 Thank you, Nashville Pride people!

Does anyone else miss spooky season? If so, I recommend participating in a paranormal investigation at Bell Witch Cave! This weekend, I ate my Cheesecake Festival goods in Gallatin before heading over to Adams, TN to chat with some ghosts! It was a blast! #tennessee www.bellwitchcave.com
