I like bicycles, democracy, and working to improve my bubble as best I can. Honestly not sure why I’m here.

Remember: cities in themselves are not noisy. It is mainly motorized traffic that causes noise pollution. Encourage and facilitate other transport choices and discover how calming cities really can be!

Imagine defending toxic masculinity
while also complaining
about a male loneliness epidemic;
and not seeing a connection.

Welcome to the mind of the modern dudebro.

Respect to @anntelnaes.bsky.social for quitting the Washington Post due to censorship over her on-point cartoon. More of this from artists and writers, please. Don't obey in advance, especially to the broligarchy.

When a city builds infrastructure that truly caters to all ages and abilities, the demographics on the streets shift, from mostly men to a vibrant mix of women and children.

Proper design ensures safety and comfort for everyone, not just those who are willing to brave discomfort.

Hello friendos

Today's library tip from your librarian

Most libraries have the capacity to scan documents and pictures, as well as print. Public computers, free WiFi.

Some libraries have 3D printers, some have MakerSpaces with more (laser cutters, sound booths, etc)

The street I was on (36th St) is horrible on bike & I sometimes take the sidewalk for the 1.5 block I’m on it, but there were pedestrians & I didn’t want to be in their way.

I screamed & my body is still super tense 30 mins later.

I don’t want to die while biking 1 mile to the store.

Being aggressively honked at while walking or biking is like brandishing a weapon—it's a threat.

Drivers possess the weight and power to end a life, making this claim far from outlandish.

He wasn’t a migrant. He didn’t cross the border. All Trump does is lie. Minute after minute, hour after hour, day after day. A firehouse of lies spewing an alternate reality for the MAGA cult to live in.

Has it occurred to anyone that in charging Luigi Mangione as a terrorist, that they are trying to establish a legal precedent? And under the patriot act, anyone suspected of terrorism can be detained indefinitely, without trial. Hence Guantanamo. Class warfare.

Cities aggressively discussing the dangers that ebikes and e-scooters pose to people in cities...
Just now at 7th and Mandela, two officers sped through the intersection and collided at high speed

The bus riders were luckily unharmed by the flying vehicles, but officers were rushed off in an ambulance

Driving at high speed is very dangerous and should be used only when absolutely necessary

Canada isn’t becoming our 51st state.

Greenland is not for sale.

And the Panama Canal isn’t going to be taken back from Panama.
