imagine how much better our city would be if more mayors and councilmembers and department heads actually rode transit and bikes.

Mamdani wants to spend "$20 million per year to ensure that every school can have an Open Street," but what I'm really hoping is that he not just funds open streets but funds building them out with greenery and other permanent features. @zohrankmamdani.bsky.social

I am insistent that the Maguire Method is an excellent system/philosophy for sharpening edge tools and when the Philadelphia community hand tool woodshop opens everyone will have to lean it! Luckily I got @phillyjames.bsky.social in the shop to learn before he tried hollow grinding or a microbevel

This is the first confirmed death of a Philly Bike Action member due to traffic violence. Which makes it all the more enraging that despite advocacy efforts, Fairmount Park Conservancy decided to preserve Belmont Ave in its new master plan as a huge scar through the park

This has always been clear: plant-based meat alternatives are better for the planet and, at least compared to red meat, better for your health. That this is not widely accepted is the product of meat industry disinfo, science illiteracy, and some very stupid journalists.

Plant-based meats have been viewed at times as ultraprocessed and possibly unhealthy. But some experts believe they deserve a second look.

Not to get ahead of myself, but who wants to take the train to NYC for when they open Mayor Mamdani’s first protected bike lane?

If a state can re-open a damaged highway in less than two weeks by declaring an emergency, there's no reason a city can't install a massive network of protected bike lanes by declaring a climate emergency or a public safety emergency. It's all a matter of who and what elected officials think matter.

One of the best things about guerrilla interventions like this is that they prove that cities can act fast *when they want to.* A man used spray chalk to mark a crosswalk on a street. The city responded almost immediately and covered it up with black paint to restore the status quo.

I am obsessed with a few types of chairs. I would never have thought I could build a chair before Chris Schwarz released The Stick Chair Book in 2021. I was probably 2 years away (2025!!) from having the confidence to build a chair on my own when I got into a class with Chris in 2023…
