stroads like this could never be retrofitted to be as quiet, safe, and inviting as that street in haarlem
instead we funnel density to shitty and toxic places.
and then wonder why cities aren't thriving

in seattle, we have overlay districts where buildings are designed to accommodate pedestrians and have storefronts.
most of these streets are massive stroads bisecting neighborhoods. some are actual highways.
this is one in crown hill.
folks.
those are 7 lanes for cars.

In South Dakota for the holiday and my BlueSky has been restricted because I won’t upload my ID to the platform. For a people who claim to be pro-freedom, this sure seems like state-censorship to me!

My last sweater was completely in stockinette stitch and was such a slog. I may have overcompensated this time, with something way too fiddly. It wouldn’t be a project of mine if it weren’t full of self-loathing! #knitting

@lukewanderer.bsky.social We just did an air-source heat pump/hybrid HE furnace. The first time it used the gas this season was this morning, and I think I need to go tick the switchover temp down some. So far so good tho!

See this amount of your own blood splashed on the floor would be alarming, but when it’s in a neat little bag, it’s not so bad! #donateblood #blooddonation

Completely unrelated I’m sure, but here’s a photo of a box bike parked out front of the Nobel Peace Center in Oslo from when I had the pleasure and privilege to visit few years back. I’d like to think it’s still there today.

Imagine dying in slow motion, ignored, in the care of those that are supposed to be the protectors of a community. American policing is a failed institution.
Kingsley Bimpong was jailed instead of hospitalized; video shows guards ignored his suffering for hours.

Maybe this sounds familiar:
Bike infrastructure get proposed as part of a street redesign. A small group of confused but VERY vocal individuals begin making a lot of noise about how no one wants this, no one will use this, it will literally cause the sky to fall.

Three-quarters of Americans support bike lanes in their area and nearly half say they increase quality of life | YouGov
Americans are more likely to say bike lanes increase than decrease overall quality of life as well as safety for pedestrians, cyclists, and drivers.

Since everything is awful, I thought I’d distract myself with a dive into science fiction classics I’d missed in years prior, starting with a heavy dose of Philip K. Dick.
