Atlanta's #pollen count today is 14801.
This is the highest on record.

( Atlanta's old pollen count was 9,369 on March 20, 2012. )

Literally, the air is yellow along with our cars.

PROTEST AGAINST THE MEDIA
Noon this Sunday, March 30

Cliff Cash, a comedian, is organizing protests against the Heritage Foundation, Musk and Trump in general, and now the media outlets that refuse to cover our resistance.

You know that it's a choice by cowardly and pro-fascist oligarchs to ignore our movement. Cash is taking the movement to their doors!

The National Institutes of Health will no longer be funding work on the health effects of climate change, according to internal records first reviewed by @ProPublica .

So, where can Americans get reliable information on climate change? Look no further than the doctor's office, say Atlanta primary care providers.

This story is co-published by Atlanta Community Press Collective and 285 South.

I said it before and I'll say it again - “We Came to the Forest” is the podcast everyone around #Atlanta wondering about #CopCity and the #StopCopCity movement needs to listen to.

It’s journalism we’ve been overdue…

Some architectural entrances, with their fine artistry and history, draw people in to appreciate the craftsmanship and the stories of bygone eras.

Thank you to the buyer in Itasca, IL for purchasing this striking black & white photo of the Candler building built in 1904. May you enjoy the beautiful architecture for years to come.

I got a chance to check out The Art of Math exhibit at the new Sun ATL Art Gallery on Edgewood Ave that is part of the ongoing Atlanta Science Festival. The math based paintings, woodwork, and sculptures were cool, but... I really liked the small collection of paintings by Harry Underwood who I was not previously familiar with. I really liked the way that he penciled on his thoughts around the edges and margins.
I also got a chance to chat with the gallery director which was super cool, he says they're trying to create an art hub along Edgewood Ave and the MLK Historic District.

Do I know any #HAMRadio operators anywhere near #Atlanta or the state of #Georgia?

Is anyone using CW and #Lora #Meshtastic?

"The most immediate rail project — one that already has local funding, one that has strong ridership projections and one that could be implemented in the next three to four years — is the Eastside Trail. Why would the city put that project on the back burner when that corridor already has the development density of housing and jobs to support rail transit?"

I’m unable to commit to this, but man, I’m so relieved to know there’s local efforts happening on community-driven, violence intervention

I don't often do black and white but this is a perennial favorite from the Krog Street Tunnel in Atlanta many moons ago.
