The amount of office speak I use on a daily basis is upsetting.

If you ever joined us on Friday mornings for coffees or rode with him, msg me and you can have a sticker too for your bike.

I recently rode back home from University, and flying past gridlocked cars on 114st made my heart feel lifted again. Driving to and from work so regularly was crushing my soul, and I had to force myself to repeat mantras to find the motivation to get through the day.

Photo of a red bike. It is an up close photo from behind, seeing through the bars of the bike frame. There are 3 stickers on the bike frame, in particular one small one of a person sitting on a bench.

Digital drawing of a man sitting on a bench, his bike resting against the back side of the bench. The scene is of the back of the bench, and the man has his back to us. He is holding a hot beverage.

This one ride was so worth the trouble, and now he joins me on the paths, laughing about how slow I am.

But radcial change is useless if doesn't come with the infrastructure to maintain it.

And building that infrastructure is fucking tedious & boring & infinitely less fun than the action packed front lines punch nazis part. But it is just as vital.

Punching nazis is great. But victory requires more

Hot #transit take of the day:
Right now, the safety of housed people who use transit should not be the priority not the ones defining the meaning of safety.
It is the people who use transit for a reprieve for being outside on the streets who get to define it right now.

Do you ever just get an unexpected wave of dread that freezes all of your senses for a few minutes, and then go "okay, lunch break is done. Back to the grind"?

Is this rhetoric also coming from people who want to 'crack down and focus on primary, basic services' with no funding for pet projects?

Two years ago today, Israel vowed to wipe Gaza off the map. They have spent the last 2 yrs attempting to do so.

We will never forget.

Can’t decide what to buy on Prime Day?

Try: absolutely nothing, and then go support indie bookstores instead 📚

Over 4 years, she has shown that she has not gotten a grasp of how council functions, and she was abusive to her staff. That alone is unacceptable, regardless of my alignment or lack thereof in values.

This flyer makes me irrationally angry.

#Reinfections are not harmless.

As #LongCOVID researcher, David Putrino, said "There is no such thing as a #COVID infection without consequence" -

I haven't seen one single study that shows it's harmless to keep getting Covid again & again. But there are thousands of peer-reviewed studies that document long-term harms

No women, no safety

Women on bikes are the indicator species of a city’s cycling health.

If you don’t see many of us, it’s not about lack of interest — it’s about safety.

Go outside, ride your bike, enjoy nature, and do something kind to a stranger.

I want to tell Darren that he’s wrong, that it was never equivalent. He always gave so much more, at a capacity and with an earnestness that was unmatched. I don’t think I could ever reach his level, but I’ll try my best and remember his requests for us:
