Love this ❤️
It's Monday night. In our household, that means I'll be spending the evening making lasagna for @lasagnalove.bsky.social. I'd like to tell you a little bit about why.

Lasagna Love is a nonprofit group that connects folks in need of comfort food with home chefs nearby who can provide them.

Fares are waived on all COTA services Friday, Jan. 23, through Saturday, Jan. 24, to help you stay safe and get where you need to go during the extreme cold.

We’re keeping an eye on the weather and will share updates if the advisory lasts beyond Saturday.

Stay warm, Central Ohio!

Ok, so, call us crazy but...

If you're on the board of a public transit agency, maybe you should actually ride that public transit at least semi-regularly?
Public records show COTA’s 12-member Board of Trustees took a whopping four (4) bus rides in 2025, according to public records obtained by The Rooster.

I thought COTA made a mistake when they processed the records request the first time.

Their names will be read aloud, a bell rung in each person's honor.

They are people who have died in Columbus in 2025 while experiencing homelessness.”
