Urbanist, bicyclist for transport, enby, parent to two kiddos. I’m a thrill-seeker - when those thrills come from completing a project.
Could my #caucus friends please consider “uncommitted” for governor? So far #Klobashar is the only one running (that I know of) and she is so wrong for MN now. We need a leader who will bring us justice, not “reaching across the aisle.” Her brand of politics is useless these days.

What the fascists don't understand and what I think people from elsewhere don't understand is that everyone here has done the math. We know that we could be killed out there. But they could come into our homes and kill us too. Once you come to terms with that there is literally no choice.

If I didn’t have commuting to do, I’d cross-stitch “The vibe in the rapid response networks is heavy, but determined” onto a lumbar support pillow. I think about it a lot.
(I’d cross-stitch the NATO alphabet on the flip side, if anyone’s asking.)

The vibe in the rapid response networks is heavy but determined. If you have brown neighbors you haven’t checked on, open a line of communication with them SOON. Drop by with cookies this week. They really need you.

My 8 year old was roleplaying as a time traveler panicking in the back of the car, “what is this thing we are in? This ‘horseless carriage?!’”
My 6 year old calmly summed it up well, “It’s called a car. They kill people sometimes, but it’s ok.”
That’s the agreement - but it really shouldn’t be.

The busiest bus line in the most populous county in Minnesota is the D Line.
These photos were taken within a block of it on either side. Even if sidewalk clearing occurred, parking clearing took precedent.
Municipal sidewalk clearing is a moral obligation. Frey opposes it, Schaffer opposes it.

The #Rethinking94 presentation right now is arguing we can have a lot of benefits of freeway removal right next to the freeway, with attractive renderings of spacious bike lanes & happy families sitting & relaxing in a park-like atmosphere. Noise of whizzing traffic & diesel fumes not portrayed

It being #BuyNothingDay and all, I didn’t expect to see anyone while biking to and from my pet-sitting duties, so didn’t sweat the mash of pattern and color that my layered ‘fit was becoming. I ended up loving it though, and had to pause to document and share, so that you may bear witness.

I’m on my third copy of #LifeAfterCars - I keep giving/lending the book out. First to a friend’s kid who is a big @thewaroncars.bsky.social fan and then to my city council member (the right hands!) who had heard of the podcast already. This copy is all mine! …for now.

How hipster is this shop; yet the best parking for your custom fixie is a gas meter out of sight of the cafe windows? (There’s also a parking sign around the corner, so close room for three bikes total.)

At the #DavidByrne show, I rocked out to Life During Wartime, awash in the nostalgia of it, paying little mind to the lyrics, as ever; but when they put up video clips of #ICE and the #resistance to it, the song suddenly took on real meaning. How close are we to three passports, a couple of visas?

@ibikedinthis.bsky.social IDK if you inspired me to wear this while biking, but you definitely inspired me to document it. As you can see, I threw on a wool sweater after the show and swapped shoes for the bulk of the ride (the main photo is after biking the three blocks from the restaurant).

I voted today for @mayorcarter.bsky.social for almost all the same reasons. I look around and see progress and know if I want that to continue, he is the person to do it. His focus on the youth is especially a strong endorsement. As my kid says - A-he's a good mayor and B-he's good at playing Tag.
I’m voting for @melvincarter.bsky.social on Tuesday, and it isn’t an especially hard choice.
There’s a lot of talk in STP about how we need to do the basics really well. A lot of that talk has come from me! It’s something I ran on because it’s something I hear all the time from folks in Ward Four.
