I love wildlife crossings AND I want us to work towards more highway removal to connect communities for both humans and our habitat.
This is a fantastic wildly ambitious project in southern California that is nearing phase one completion.

What a wonderful book! I see why it made it on a lot of best of 2025 book lists.

What are New Year’s Eve themed movies? I’d love to pick something fun to watch next week!

Definitely willing to make a trip to Scarecrow Video to rent something weird/ old.

My child wanted a Barbie Car, so of course she also got a Barbie bicycle!

No car dependency here.

May you be warm.

May you be loved for exactly who you are.

May you be blessed with enough.

I once was reading a delightful bi romance novel based in Seattle and I kept getting annoyed at the main character who kept describing our lack of income tax as a positive of moving here.

I threw the book down in frustration with regressive tax policy, but picked it up b/c I root for lovers.

Look, maybe more witches need to do the hard and meaningful work of trying to influence taxation policy.

Lime wins the route home. A fixed route bus required a 13 min wait at the stop. En route I found a lime glider that went 15 mph and got me home at least 10 min earlier than the bus.

I love the PWHL and request that we turn Men’s bathrooms into all gender restrooms to fix the bathroom situation.

I am using this as a hint for where Tom could be picking up last minute gifts. Unfortunately, Westlake doesn’t narrow it down.
80% of people in the Westlake Station mezzanine have no idea which way to go.

I am very excited about this pricing update from Lime!

This will definitely incentivize me to get the pass and ride it more often, especially to and from the bus I take to work which is 16 min walk!
After pricing overhaul, 20-minute bike and scooter rides now cost the same as transit fare for LimePrime subscribers
Screenshot from the Lime App. Lime’s newest pricing scheme makes it far more cost-effective for regular users to use their bikes and scooters for short trips, making the service much more use…

One reason it took me so long to write this @coyotemedia.org essay is I kept trying to find a positive, productive note to end on. All I really got is “fund the goddamn bus.” www.coyotemedia.org/in-which-we-...

I don’t want to be assaulted by a driver, nor surveilled by cat-killing robot cars. Is this really the best we can do?

Happy Winter Solstice! May you take a moment to pause and reflect on the past year. 🕯️

Set intentions for the year ahead.

In my most mom tone, “You can’t have any new highways until you take care of the ones you already have!”
Reading about Forest Service roads in @bengoldfarb.bsky.social Crossings, “The agency’s maintenance backlog exceeded $8B…If the service couldn’t afford its existing roads, it seemed ludicrous to build more.”

The women in this 1964 photo of Beatles fans (yes, that's what they used) could not get a credit card at Bank of America without their husband or father cosigning. So, no. The answer, CBS and Bank of America, is no.

It is important to remember all the great things we have in WA State with transit & active transportation is all with funding that pales in comparison to highway expansion.

Imagine what we could if we right-sized the budget and stopped expanding highways! Let’s fix what we got & make it better.

One of the many perks of biking/ walking to school is that if your child runs into a friend you can set up a spontaneous play date!

One thing I love about being the ED of a small non-profit is cultivating a work culture that supports people as whole humans. Shutting the office twice per year in Winter and Summer gives everyone a good break.

We do work that takes time and is deeply relational, so fighting burn out is critical.
