Tales from the bus: I took the bus to my colonoscopy, had a 13 mile tube inserted up my butt, and when I swiped my card on the return trip my transfer was still valid. Has anyone ever done a colonoscopy round trip on one fare?

"Once at the fair, everything is accessible by foot. The entire experience is designed around pedestrian movement and access that is comfortable and appealing (although often crowded, especially if you’re waiting in line at Sweet Martha’s Cookies or another beloved vendor)."
Street Views: The Great Multi-Modal Get-Together
The Minnesota State Fair’s investment in options to “get there” by transit and biking sets a year-round example for the metro.

Today I delivered another 8 bags of groceries from White Center Food Bank to 4 neighbors in White Center and Seattle for the @cascade.org #PedalingReliefProject. Short route since we had lots of volunteers helping deliver food to neighbors in need today, so I didn’t even bring a trailer!

my view is that everyone should be able to earn a living wage doing whatever it is they like. if you love working in a bookshop, you should be able to live a comfortable life doing so. if you loving being a barista, the same. and if you want to do more traditional blue collar work, that’s cool too!
the other thing is that no one who fetishizes manual labor actually cares to improve life for people who are in those circumstances! no support for unionization or a generous welfare state! no interest in policies that make life easier for people who work their hands or afford them more autonomy!

Folds: If we’ve been told our whole lives that we can’t spend money on the arts because they’re not important—then why was taking over the Kennedy Center and the arts the first thing they did?
It is extremely important. It’s the bedrock of self-expression.

Wanted to ride today and got all my errands done! Picked up a Brompton travel case I found on Marketplace, donated 3 bags of clothes and whatever else I could fit on the bike, stopped by the lake with a book, grabbed groceries and kitty litter on the way home.

Borrowing a Larry Vs Harry e-Bullitt for a few days. This thing is seriously so much fun! I usually live in turbo mode on my other cargo e-bikes but I was happy just around cruising in eco yesterday. #cargobike

Dropped my bike off for service and walked over to the cafe. This coffee shop is right on Bryant Ave (bike greenway), and it’s always fun to watch the variety of bikes roll by. Great read, too! Highly suggest. (Deleted my Amazon account 5 months ago)

I won’t share RFK Jr.’s lies about autism.
It’s disgusting and dangerous.
If he had a shred of decency, he would apologize and resign.
Autistic people contribute every day to our nation’s greatness.

Quick little ride to grab breakfast sandwiches before working from home. Forgot my U-lock but still have a café lock on the front wheel—and front row parking.

I wrote about this a bit in my last book but it really shakes me that a defining feature of this catastrophic era is that we just keep going to work. We work through pandemics, we work through natural disasters, we work through economic calamity, we work through coups, we work, we work, we work.
