Federal edicts and missiles over these past couple of weeks have created chaos among nonprofit organizations, state and local agencies and others who are focused on serving people who struggle to make ends meet. Among some of the confusion created by the White House was the threat of halting a large portion of federal grant funding that Congress has allocated for agencies serving some of the most vulnerable populations in our nation. It remains unclear what direction the federal government intends to take next.
‘Look Into My Eyes’ documents contemporary loneliness and the supernatural
Most Nashvillians will know filmmaker Lana Wilson for her Taylor Swift documentary, Miss Americana (2020). Wilson also directed the Brooke Shields documentary Pretty Baby (2023) as well as an examination of extremism and abortion in America (After Tiller, 2015), and a meditation on suicide in Japanese culture (The Departure, 2017). Wilson’s new movie, Look Into My Eyes reads like a blend of the filmmaker’s curiosities with interesting personalities and particular cultural trends.

My Chair Has More Than Nine Lives Like I Do
|
In the last four years, my chair has been hit 14 times. Not all of them were presented to the police and not all of them sent me to the hospital. Some people took off before I could get a license plate number or anything. Some of them I was able to block before they took off. The problem to me is that a lot of people are in a hurry to get nowhere out there.

Learn More About Rural Homelessness
|
Cheatham County is participating in the outdoor homelessness count for the first time this year, and as I worked with a team to administer it, it occurred to me how many states and cities, including Tennessee and Nashville, still underestimate the impact of rural homelessness on urban centers. A lack of affordable housing and a lack of income are the main causes for people losing their housing. This fact is true for urban as well as rural communities. Yet, homelessness often is hidden in rural areas where people tend to live in dilapidated housing with a combination of holes in roofs, walls or floors, no running water or no electricity. People also stay in abandoned homes, in campers, in cars or deeply hidden in wooded areas.
