This poor family 😥. I'm glad they are (mostly) physically okay.

There's a reason this @tomflood.bsky.social graphic resonates with me and so many others.

Have you ever thought about how your last act might be a final push of the stroller to try and save your kid's life. I have. Far too often.

This morning at the Minnesota State Capitol.

An ice sculpture that reads "PROSECUTE ICE". I'm told the organization behind the sculpture is Common Defense.

This design from @tomflood.bsky.social is basically that principle (but for safe routes to school).

It is me. I am the person who spends more time at city hall than home some weeks.

How do you fix journalism?

Fucking pay for it.

Stop complaining about paywalls and subscribe.

The rise of right-wing media is because the rich funded it. The fall of legacy media is because the rich funded it and then decided not to.

Feel this is true of the cycling industry as a whole.

Where is the marketing? The push to show people they don’t have to drive?

(I know @tomflood.bsky.social is on this with Rovélo Creative, but he is a lone giant.) #bikesky #biketo
One thing that is on my mind this morning: There is a dangerous counterfactual attack on e-bikes all across the US right now and there are no bike companies or bike orgs pushing back with clear storytelling to combat it. A multi-billion dollar industry without a clear comms strategy.

This is a true story. While travelling, one time I told someone I bike everywhere in Winnipeg and they said "oh, do you know Dave?" and I'm like, please, like do you think just because I ride a bike I know everyone who rides a bike? And yes, I know Dave, so what? @daveelmore12.bsky.social

I should add this to the anti wholesome stinker list I’m still going back and forth on. 🤔
LOVE when people use your creative without permission and slap their logo on it - Then after you ask very nicely via email if they'd like to collaborate for their next show you don't get a response THEN you see that they are still using your work as marketing collateral.

What the actual fuck, CABDA?

You sit here screaming to support our LBS' against the mail-order giant, but also feel it's your right to steal the labor of people in other crafts?
