It takes a bit of setup and not perfectly clean, but I use airtable for similar tasks. It’s nice because it’s can pull from your email and calendar easily and lets you quickly add logic to db entries.

During this election season, lots of groups and people have been supportive (Sierra club, UAW, …) but this new on definitely means the most to me!

Outside proof bikes are gonna be heavy. Do try the new Ebikes if you haven’t. I really like them

Cllr. Burhan Azeem @burhanazeem.bsky.social · 1d

I’ve really enjoyed Bluebikes this year. Perks of getting your bike stolen (again)

I’ve been informed I’m in the pocket of “Big Wheels,” otherwise known as “Big Bicycle.” The regular critiques sting a little less each week, maybe because they’re starting to sound 🎵 actually romantic 🎵

Mixing bike bus with politics and reskeeting a video that features me talking are two things that make me acutely uncomfortable.

But as Cllr Azeem said today, it’s a pivotal election. We can basically finish the core city bike network in this upcoming term. AND defend zoning reform. Let’s do those!

"[...] most of the buildings we cherish in Cambridge were built before design review was added in the 1970s."

We compromised on zoning reform because it was better for Cambridge - Cambridge Day

City councillors Burhan Azeem and Patty Nolan each gave up something they wanted but still voted for zoning reform. That's what leaders do.

Read this in-depth, data-rich piece of reporting on why New England school systems have so much to learn from recent educational reforms in the South.

Thoughtful work that highlights the drawbacks of local control and the need to stop resting on our laurels.

Our math and reading scores have been declining for a decade. The “Southern Surge” should be a wake-up call.

After a decade of advocacy and work, I’m so excited to finish our protected bicycle network!

We’re almost there!!

A thing I’ve been noticing. A lot of people don’t realize: special permits punish good neighbors!

If you’re doing the right thing and put up with the noise and hassle because we need more housing, you get screwed because other residents who block housing won’t have to.
