Hello new followers! I'm a car-free mom in Berkeley, California. I do graphic design (for money) and housing/mobility advocacy (for free) though sometimes I get paid money to design housing/mobility related things and that's pretty amazing! Here's a few things I designed

Too often the City of Berkeley takes action on street safety only after someone has been killed or hurt. Our #visionzero strategy is literally ambulance chasing.
Mayor Mamdani wants to be proactive. Maybe @adenaishii.bsky.social will too. And not just with daylighting, which is already state law.

Mayor Mamdani said over the weekend that he wants the Department of Transportation to add daylighting before someone has been killed rather than wait to ban parking at intersections after a completely avoidable tragedy. nyc.streetsblog.org/2026/01/05/m...

If you are also pissed off about Berkeley leaders doing backwards shit when it comes to street safety, send a letter before Monday. Do it now! actionnetwork.org/letters/save...

In a stunning reversal of an earlier 8-1 council vote, the Berkeley City Council is proposing to move forward on Hopkins Street repaving without any bike or transit infrastructure improvements. There...

As if the dearth of consequences for Trump's misdeeds is not discombobulating enough, I apparently live in a city where our political third rail is putting bike lanes on a high-injury street.
Just over a week ago a kid was hit by a car less than 50 ft from my house. (good news: they walked away)

What the hell, they are really going to let a bunch of old grumpy people who don’t care how many they run over on the street dictate that there will be no bike lanes on Hopkins?
I am so angry right now.

Welp we moved to another street. 2 drivers still ignored the stop sign and flashing lights to pass the bus today! One of them did it as we started crossing the street 😡
3 drivers passed the school bus today, with its stop sign out and my kids exiting. A new record. I told the bus driver to go on a side street that is more narrow from now on. Longer walk to the bus stop now but at least my blood pressure won't spike everytime the kids come home

One of the biggest drivers of high housing costs is that a small, highly motivated group of incumbent homeowners block new housing in their neighborhoods and almost no one is organized to push back.
Young people bear the brunt of that imbalance.

Just when I think Berkeley NIMBYs are not the worst, someone proves me wrong. I would say shame on them but it’s clear they don’t have any
At a meeting about whether we're going to build housing for young families like us. An elderly NIMBY got mad at @alanakinrich.medsky.social for 'being distracting' by breastfeeding our baby in the reserved seats in the front. In case you're wondering who they think should be part of this process.
