Sent to me, ICE truck currently downtown Minneapolis 3rd & Hennepin near Gay 90s. I've called Monarca, but putting here as well. Maybe folks that spread news of St. Paul raid today can repost @naomikritzer.bsky.social @mauratwit.bsky.social @unicornriot.bsky.social

WATCH St. Paul police, aiding ICE, restrain a man and spray him full in the face. They are not and have never been on our side.

"Society accepts layered defenses like seat belts and guardrails because we acknowledge our human fallibility. As planners and policymakers we must embrace the same logic — insist on streets and communities that demand cognitive engagement behind the wheel."
"Many well-studied changes show that thoughtful street design is key to reversing course. Narrower lanes that slow traffic, adding curb extensions to increase pedestrian access & visibility, & physically separating bike lanes from car traffic are a few examples."

1. A landmark study was just published in The Journal of Pediatrics.
It found a 68% reduction in suicidality for trans youth getting HRT.
It also found only 7 of more than 400 stopped taking HRT... and of those that did, 4 still identified as gender-diverse.

Appearing on the @copenhagenizers.bsky.social Index is an important milestone for Minneapolis! We've come a very long way *AND* we've got a lot more work to do.
The good news is that steadily we're making it happen. Culture and infrastructure don't happen overnight. www.youtube.com/watch?v=jOYM...

How does one commission custom boots?
It is exceptionally rare to find boots that I love and I have never found a pair of boots that I love that fit me.
I just want cute alternative boots that fit. And at this point I’m kinda willing to sacrifice to get a custom pair that are exactly what I want.

-3 Urban Arrows (front loader e cargo bikes)
-2 long tail e cargo bikes
-a Burley trailer
-a 12/13yo riding solo
We get the traffic we design & build for.

I really want an app that combines yt-dlp and handbrake together maybe with a stretch goal of automatically picking out video streams to put into the pipeline so you could take like a video course and download the webm or whatever to mp4 or whatever in one click.

Valve actually did something! And it will likely bring many new people into the open source community.
On top of that, the show I've been anticipating for years, from a group of nerdy ass voice actors I've followed for 10 years, released five days early!

I found the interaction with @strongthany.bsky.social and Jackson meeting funny because, when I met Parker on my bus he mentioned that they were doing this episode. When I got home and told my wife about it, I literally said “it was wild meeting somebody who actually knows what open street maps is”

There's a lot of folks out there who care about environmental issues that are blissfully unaware that one of the quickest and most productive actions they can take is look into biking for their frequent, and short car trips. You can even start using plastic straws again if you want, no shame!
I just met someone who told me they refuse to go to a certain coffee shop bc their to go cups are plastic (not compostable).
And 2 mins later said they’d drive their car 1.5 mile from their home to check out some new bike infrastructure we were talking about bc “biking season is over.”

While this wasn’t the outcome we wanted, I am incredibly grateful to every single person who supported our grassroots campaign.
