Yeah I think you should be a “pickup artist”*

* Pick up a paintbrush and start creating art that is sensitive, vulnerable and reveals your true soul.

Yes! some of the clips show the artist crumpling the works when i can’t see a problem. I love that they are so aware of what works that they know when to start over. I need to be more confident in doing that myself!

Me: Wait what’s Higashibashi? That’s not a thing.

Sento Obasan Friend: Oh, that’s 吾妻橋 (Azumabashi)

Me: WUT

SOF: It’s ateji.

Me: WUT

SOF: It’s easier to write I guess. Only 1 character.

Me: (silently wondering whether it is too late now to completely give up on learning Japanese)

Old print of the Sumida River where Azumabashi is written with the wrong kanji, but apparently that is fine as long as you meant to do that.

I've shared the full study previously but here's a more user-friendly summary of research from Montreal, busting the myth that bike lanes remove space for cars. One for our more #CarBrain infected councillors in #HaliSky via @ca.theconversation.com theconversation.com/montreals-bi...

Montréal’s bike infrastructure hardly takes up any space from cars on city roads

Bike infrastructure in Montréal takes up less than three per cent of the roadway, while car infrastructure has more than 90 per cent of roads across the city.
