I love to build things
The #ciclavia stranger things promotion is very well done! Tons of fans in 1980s gear and opportunities to take film set selfies. I guess the social media marketing is outta control and potentially exponential plus people get to know local biz on melrose !

Compared to New York City and walkable Oakland and San Francisco Los Angeles and most of the USA feel so isolating & lonely to me with so much physical inactivity and inability to easily run into friends

Wonderful moments at the Japanese restaurant Otomi san in Boyle heights. Very down to earth and I think the oldest Japanese restaurant in Los Angeles?? The owner is super cool!!!!!

We can see the famous graffiti tower from our window in downtown Los Angeles 🙈 I hope they keep the graffiti somehow it adds some spice to a very generic street

My first scan of the la auto show before taking a break (it’s so overwhelming!!!) I’m a Honda girl so I’m biased but I kept focusing personally on the outdoor stuff (these surfboard straps from Yakima or Thule) are niceeeeeeee - also trunk space - 😻 and the new ux on the controls plus materials

Always gonna be my happy place in Los Angeles - I love hauser & wirth ❤️❤️❤️❤️

Today is a good day to remember, and to say, that the #MeToo movement was right, and was righteous, and has been vindicated over and over again. There was no overreach. There was no excess. There was no they-went-too-far.

So much work remains to be done.

In the US, the only leverage many academics have is threatening to leave. That leverage is growing weaker and weaker as jobs disappear. At this point, beyond a few superstars, it’s effectively nil. There are, of course, other forms of leverage, but they require working in concert.

This is the kind of cheap, straightforward, low-hanging fruit bike infrastructure we could be deploying across the country with relative ease.

But I doubt you could find two dozen engineers working in county public works departments across the US that are working on anything like this.
Before (2012) / After (2019) the cycle lane along the departmental road in Saint-Égrève, Isère, France. It runs parallel to a more touristic cycle lane 100 meters away on the right, that follows a river on the opposite side of the motorway. This one looks more utilitarian for local residents.
