@GinoFanelli I feel Dennis Hopper in this scene. Roy Orbison’s voice does that to me, too.

I quit smoking many years ago but feel obligated to go get a pack of American Spirits. RIP to David Lynch, one of this country's most legendary freaks. Thanks for giving us some of the greatest scenes in film history.

I have caught the bus there. Her tent was set up on land no one uses. Her tent was also a visible sign of homelessness, one that makes people uncomfortable - and should. No one should be unhoused. Thoughts are with her.

The city kicked her out. The homeless lady who has been living in a neat camp at East Main and Union has been rousted by the city, taken off my AMR and all her stuff thrown in a dumpster. All her possessions gone. She did no harm, she didn't beg, and they threw her away.

For a city with the largest Deaf and hard of hearing population per capita in the US, it’s striking that one of Rochester’s largest free, outdoor festivals didn’t hire interpreters for its headlining shows until 2017. roccitymag.com/culture/tellta…
