the storage bin cargo system is holding up pretty well!

it was not too wide to get on the light rail 😅

#cranksgiving Tempe is in 2 days! And I'm still matching all food bank donations on my ride!

Message me a screenshot and I'll ride with even more food on my bike!

I even bought two 27 gallon storage bins to attach to my bike bsky.app/profile/luke...
last year for #cranksgiving i bought and hauled 208lbs of food to the Tempe Community Action Agency Food Panty.

this year i have plans to add a trailer and get over 300lbs.
final weigh in: 208lbs!

my response: 😍

it’s midnight. you are cleaning up the 2nd sleepwalking night terror pee accident of the night (different kids). everyone is back asleep. you lift the soaking wet bathmat to take to the washer and out runs a scorpion. you think fast and smash it with a box baby wipes. you are victorious.

in my head i think of cycling FTP as standing for “functional transfer protocol” because it transfers my ability to function completely away from my body

anyway today’s test resulted in a 5% increase. i was scared and hated most of it but that’s why i did it and will do it again

reminder that i'm matching all donations to any local food bank or panty (or hungry person's venmo, whatever) for my upcoming #cranksgiving ride

i hope SNAP gets fully funded this month but we need to feed our neighbors however we can ❤️
last year for #cranksgiving i bought and hauled 208lbs of food to the Tempe Community Action Agency Food Panty.

this year i have plans to add a trailer and get over 300lbs.

got my first donation to match from @daves.social 🎉 keep 'em coming!

donate to any food bank and i will haul more food for #cranksgiving 🚲
want to force me to add even more cargo weight to my bike?

i will match all donations to the TCAA (or your local food bank) on my #cranksgiving ride on November 15!

donate, send me a screenshot and i’ll spend that much on the ride and haul it all by bike.

I am looking for a full-time job.

Being independent in open source for 3.5+ years has been wonderful. I've gotten done most of the high-level goals I wanted to, and miss having people & structure around me.

If you know of a role for a staff-level TypeScript+web developer, let me know! 🙂

lukedb. sometimes fully parallelizes queries and is blazing fast. other times gets very tired. really depends on if it’s current hyperfixation is your data or not.
