This morning before heading to the store, I cleaned my car windows. After I got home, it poured down rain for a couple hours. I just wiped the windows again, to prevent water spots, and the clean cloth came back covered in this black gunk.
Black gunk that had to come from the rain.
#Memphis #xAI

One side of a white microfiber cloth, covered in black gunk. The cloth was clean before I wiped off my car windows, and the windows themselves had been cleaned this morning before a bunch of rain fell. I don’t know what the black gunk is, but it came from the rain. I’m in Memphis, about 20 miles as the crow flies from the xAI pollution factory. I can’t prove that the black gunk is particulates from xAI’s turbines, but I can’t prove it’s not, either.

Spent a few hours of this 4th with some real ones, knocking on doors and getting out the vote! #JustinJPearson for #TN09 y’all. #Memphis

Justin J Pearson and his parents, with several campaign volunteers who showed up to canvass for Justin on this Independence Day. I’m 3rd from the left. We’re standing next to the historic marker for Orange Mound, Memphis, Tennessee

I love this #mural I saw in #OrangeMound this morning. It goes on like this for a couple blocks along Carnes, adjacent to the park, painted on the side of a giant warehouse. So many handprints!
#Memphis

A small section of a mural painted on the side of a large warehouse. Against a white background, there are gently rolling grassy hills (likely meant to be interpreted as mounds). Above, there are large oranges among foliage. This segment of the mural features dozens of handprints in various shades of red, orange, and yellow. Carnes Avenue at Grand Street, Orange Mound, Memphis, Tennessee, June 26th 2026

I ended up in a lot of photos over the past week. I think this is my favorite.
#Memphis #Tennessee #redistricting

After Tennessee Republicans in the state legislature voted to strip Congressional representation from Memphis, Tennessee, I am seen descending the staircase from the House and Senate chambers to the exit at the state capitol in Nashville. The photo is taken from behind me, so my back is to the camera. I’m dressed in all black and holding a sign that says “Leave Memphis Alone.” Above me, THP troopers line the balcony.

#Memphis #Tennessee

A protestor stands next to his very large sign which says “FUCK the racist Tennessee senate.” The word “FUCK” is very big in red block letters; the remainder is in smaller black stenciled letters. The sign is almost as tall as the man. Memphis, Tennessee, May 15, 2026.

I’ve lived here 42 years and this sight will never get old. Love you, #Memphis!

The sun sets over Memphis, Tennessee. The iconic Hernando de Soto Bridge  spans the Mississippi River (the river is not visible) as a blazing orange sun falls behind thin clouds.

Spotted today in the parking lot of the National Civil Rights Museum in #Memphis, #Tennessee. Unexpected but amusing. Go get that bread however you can; gas prices _are_ murder.
#ncrm

The rear end of a white GMC Acadia. Written on the window in pink temporary paint: “Vintage Girls Gone Wild! Gas Prices gone WILDER! Wanna help us? $BrandiKW cash app”

This vehicle was parked in a very busy public space, I’m not blurring any PII because presumably they intend it to be seen.
