Things I Saw This Week - Friday, November 19
TISTW is a collection of reads, visuals, and music, curated by Elle Perry, a Memphis-based journalist, featuring art and culture, food, cities, and more. (Issue No. 127)

Art
A Q-and-A with Jason Jules, whose new coffee table book detailing Black Ivy style comes out next month.
Cities
Tulsa Remote, which offered people $10,000 to relocate to the city, is now three-years-old.

Places to visit: Chicago’s Bungalow Belt.
Food
More beans are needed. (And I’m happy to eat them.)
On the flipside, Tony Roelofs, vice president of the pulse division at Oregon-based Columbia Grain International, is confident that the steady rise in legume consumption over the last 20 to 25 years will push production in the right direction. If he’s right, it could move the food system toward a more climate-friendly future. “As we continue to grow our population on a worldwide level and water supply and arable land demand continue to be problematic . . . pulse crops have a great spot,” he said. “It’s cheaper protein and it’s more environmentally friendly protein.”

Sports
The women’s (Division I) NCAA tournament will see changes.
The NCAA Division I women's basketball championship has been expanded from 64 teams to 68 teams. The Division I Council approved the changes Wednesday, the NCAA announced.
The council also approved moving the unveiling of the tournament bracket, previously called "Selection Monday," to Sunday, March 13. That day is also when the men's tournament bracket, which also features 68 teams, will be revealed.
The changes come in the wake of a two-part external review of the NCAA's approach to men's and women's sports, specifically basketball, after players and coaches roundly criticized the organization last March for inadequate facilities and amenities at the women's tournament in San Antonio.
