Public broadcasting costs about $1.60 per American per year.

Public media is by and for the community. And now public media needs the community more than ever.

PLEASE visit lnkd.in/eFQ2un4y to contact your legislators and urge them to protect public media.

Infrastructure matters. People-oriented development matters.
Curb extensions! Love this explainer from 07sketches. In Melbpurne we tend to just have a No Stopping zone a car length from crossings, but a curb extension has the added benefit of shortening the crossing distance.

I absolutely think OSU should fire Ryan Day. To the “but what if it gets worse” argument, OSU has been a winner for basically my entire life. I’m pretty convinced it’s plug and play. And that dude is slowly turning into James Franklin.

This is fucking hilarious…I posted a version of this tweet on Twitter and it wasn’t getting much engagement so I reposted it without the word “Bluesky” and it’s doing normally even though I didn’t even delete the original tweet.

Manipulation and lack of respect in action.

I’m not entirely sure what content I post here will center around, but moments of calm are something I like to share.

So, here’s a little calming break for you from the offices of WGVU Public Media last week.

Oh, yeah. Support public media this giving season💯
