After much deliberation and a grueling interview process, I’m pleased to announce that I’ve accepted a new job and will not need any financial support from my parents to cover the high costs of childcare going forward. #AmericanDream #ThisIsYourCity

Since the counter was fixed, well over half a million cycle journeys have been made in less than two months. At peak times, records show that rush hour traffic consists of 250 motor vehicles ph in the am & 350 in the pm, considerably less than the number of bikes. Time for another cycle lane

“Josh Kraft’s mayoral campaign has apparently convinced too many people in City Hall who ought to know better that making streets safer and investing in public transit was politically risky.
Josh Kraft’s election results should debunk that theory for good.“

Editorial: Bike Lane Haters Keep On Losing - Streetsblog Massachusetts
As it turns out, a considerable number of informed voters understand that if we actually want less traffic, we need to design streets that favor more efficient modes of transportation.

Abolish ICE is the moderate position. There need to be trials.

We have armed secret police kidnapping people off the street based on the color of their skin.
When we win: we will haul them before a Senate committee. The masks will come off. There will be consequences.

There are like a dozen videos this bad or worse per week now. This stuff is insane.
Breaking news: ICE stops family at gunpoint—smash car window on top of newborn baby.
"I was screaming that there was a baby. But they didn’t care," cried mother.
“I covered my baby with my body—I was so scared he was going to be hurt because glass was landing on him."

It's not lost on me that the majority of the folks doing ICE watch stuff in my area of Massachusetts are women, two of whom stopped an abduction with their presence over the weekend. In spite of all the risks, people *are* fighting to protect their neighbors and that should give us hope.
This kind of shit is going to have a huge chilling effect on people trying to do ICE watch and mutual aid work. Like, JB Pritzker is encouraging people to film ICE, which is good, but there are many, many people who are just not going to put their bodies on the line (and I don't judge them for that)

#arnoldarboretum is a gem. Its not safe to get to. South street in particular has people going 50 down it with no speed bumps, no bike lanes, no sidewalks. I routinely see people walking & biking there with cars attempting to pass. Lets take some space and put these in @wutrain.bsky.social

My masters thesis was on pedestrian deaths in car crashes, focusing on sound since at the time there was strong debate that electric cars needed to be audible for blind people like myself. There was absolutely no statistical significance in pedestrian safety- it was 100% on the car driver.
In 2024, 7,100 pedestrians were killed on the road, and in recent years, more than 1,000 cyclists have been hit and killed annually. Safety experts explain how bikers and walkers can stay safe.

Trigger warning.
“In crashes, SUVs are more likely to strike vital organs in the core of adults’ bodies & heads of children. Hitting pedestrians above their center of gravity means they’re more likely to be knocked forward & down and then be driven over.”
Plus more likely to hit in the 1st place.
