We are now on the 173rd day of 2023 and have the ability to declare a snapshot in a fixed system of time. But what year is it and from what perspective? Each of us has different start and stop points, and it’s my hope that by capturing as many stories as possible, more people will understand the viewpoints of others. That’s some of the background radiation of Charlottesville Community Engagement, a little newsletter and podcast that could. On today’s program:* Two incumbent Charlottesville Planning

The summer solstice is not the time for perihelion. Summer in the northwestern hemisphere takes place at a time when the Earth is further away from the sun. This fact is one of many examples of the truism that things are not always what they seem. But does anyone scrutinizes these adages? Anyway and either way, it’s June 21, 2023 and this is another edition of Charlottesville Community Engagement.On today’s program:* A brief rundown of the results in yesterday’s Democratic primary election*

It’s the penultimate day before the summer solstice in the northern hemisphere of the only planet where it’s possible to listen or read Charlottesville Community Engagement, a newsletter and podcast that seeks to cover as much as possible about a very small corner of that globe. I’m Sean Tubbs, somewhat grateful that we’re now on the way to days with less sunlight.

Welcome to another Sunday edition of Charlottesville Community Engagement, an irregularly produced newsletter that is usually podcast as well. This particular installment of the podcast is slightly longer than what you’ll read in the written version to make up some production changes this week. This is due to a recent break in the space time continuum. Or at least, a readjustment of gravity.

Wildfires burning hundreds of miles away have transformed the sky into a smoky haze that could be described as unsettling, yet yielding powerful sunrises and sunsets. Though Charlottesville Community Engagement is mostly about items that happen in a relatively small portion of the earth, nothing is not connected. I’m Sean Tubbs, seeking to offer as much information as I can. On today’s show:* Elected officials in Albemarle and Charlottesville break ground for the first phase of a court expansion in

The human experience is seemingly infinite with billions of people currently alive on a planet that will spin whether our species is here or not. On this 79th anniversary of Allied forces landing on beaches in Normandy, I reflect about how hopeful I am that others out there share a sense that peace should always be the goal. However, Charlottesville Community Engagement acknowledges that conflict is inevitable but may yet be mitigated with shared information.On today’s program:* A member of the

Welcome to the first of four Mondays in this month of June, and another edition of Charlottesville Community Engagement. There are hundreds of you on the subscription list but today in particular I’d like to give special recognition to anyone of you named Janet, Jenny, or Joyce for it is apparently your national day. Now, on with the information that ends up in this installment. On today’s program:* There’s a new name in the works for Buford Middle School* A new petition is circulating against the

What’s five times six! Thirty! As in, the thirtieth day of the fifth month of 2023. And what’s five times 30? 150! And somehow, May 30 is the 150th day of 2023. Does any of this matter, or would it simply be better to say this is the penultimate day of May, a month that sounds so polite. Charlottesville Community Engagement is a newsletter and podcast that has nothing to do with any of that, but yet it does. On today’s program:* Charlottesville has released greenhouse gas emissions data for 2020 and

Welcome to only the second-ever Sunday edition of Charlottesville Community Engagement, a newsletter and podcast that seeks a regular schedule but has yet to place the booster rockets in place to achieve the correct orbit.

We are now at the penultimate Wednesday of May and the 21st so far in 2023. Every day is a moment in time and this is the May 24 edition of Charlottesville Community Engagement, a newsletter and podcast that pays attention to these sorts of things, but usually only in the opening paragraph. I’m Sean Tubbs.

What are the differences between a turtle and a tortoise? Let’s begin with what they have in common. Both are reptiles. Both have shells. Both begin with T. But you’ll only find the tortoise on land, whereas you will likely find many turtles only in the sea. Tortoise shells are also more rounded, as I learned in a conversation yesterday on the Downrtown Mall. Either way, both are honored on May 23 which is World Turtle Day. How will you celebrate? Either way, Charlottesville Community Engagement

Monday moves majestically, meandering more mysteriously, making many mighty memories. Maybe. Or it’s another day like any other as we all spend time inhabiting a world that alternates constantly between light and dark. However, Charlottesville Community Engagement is not a tribute to the poetic but is more concerned with the anecdotal and the wonky. I’m Sean Tubbs until I am not.

What about today? Surely there is a fake holiday to mark this 137th day of the year as measured from the wintry start! Or perhaps it is more important to point out that there are 35 days remaining until the solstice and the longest night? These are not questions that the newsletter and podcast known as Charlottesville Community Engagement is intended to answer, but they are fun to ask all of the same. I’m Sean Tubbs.

May the 12th be with you. As in, there have been eleven days already in the fifth month. What shall we do now? Listen or read another installment of Charlottesville Community Engagement, a newsletter and podcast created to capture some of what happens in the area in and around the first word in title. I’m Sean Tubbs, always looking for another way to look at things just because. On today’s show:* A veteran of Fairfax County has taken the top job in Greene County * Charlottesville’s NDS director

Thank you for calling Charlottesville Community Engagement. To whom shall I direct your call? At least, that’s how I would answer the phone if this newsletter and podcast was an office of some sort. Yet you’re stuck with a normal installment of the program for May 10, otherwise known as National Receptionists Day.

The second Monday of May is with us and takes the name of May 8 or could also go by Day 128. There are 44 days until the solstice, the next time the world will begin to turn back toward the dark. Until then, Charlottesville Community Engagement shall continue to point out such information but cannot let it slide that this is also National Meeting Planners Appreciation Day.

One, two, three. As in, 123, which is the day of the year that May 3 falls upon three out of four years. Such facts may or may not be of relevance, but they seem more useful than telling you about dubious holidays such as the Great American Grump Out or National Lumpy Rug Day.

I became a writer to try to understand what was going on in my head and to process feelings that no one around me seemed to want to hear about. May 2 is Childhood Depression Awareness Day, and I’m reminded of how confusing the world seemed to be when I was younger and how much I retreated from everything. 2023 seems to be more intimidating to young people than 1983 was to me, and I’m hopeful that somehow we can all figure out how to treat each other with respect.

For over three years, the City of Charlottesville has been engaged in a process to reform the way land use decisions are made. The Cville Plans Together initiative has resulted in an affordable housing plan as well as an updated Comprehensive Plan. This spring and summer sees continued work on a new zoning code intended to make it easier to build more housing and require more of them to be affordable.

Do you like the world to be arranged in an orderly fashion? Or do you prefer the chaos of the random? Either way, if you’re looking to increase your productivity, consider that April 26 is Get Organized Day according to several websites set up to tell us what day it is. None can tell us the origins. Yet, the National Association of Productivity and Organizing Professionals celebrate on May 20, which is not today. But let the countdown begin. I’m Sean Tubbs. On today’s program:* Albemarle County
