I’m here for biking, current events, architecture, and laughs. Statistician by day, and looking for good ☕️ and 🌮 irl.
Please keep in mind that you might be feeling this more acutely because of the weekend effect, the looming holidays, and omg, this never ending cold. You taught me and a bunch of others to appreciate brutalism in a way I never have. Thank you for that!

How about a question for @americanfietser.bsky.social ? I noticed the Brazil flag in your profile. I’ve been there 3x for work, and liked even more each time. Now I want to return for fun. Can you recommend any good bike tours? Reasonably flat for a chubby middle age guy from Chicago!

"the USPS is a miracle. it's in the constitution. for the price of a single stamp you can send a letter across the country, from Hawaii to Maine. Trump is trying to take that away from you. He's attacking Christmas cards and wedding invitations. It's un-American and it has to stop."

This is my favorite type of client. The ones who are totally disorganized, and seemingly unaware of how disorganized they are, are the worst.
