why does my neighbor in my apartment building have their AC on when it's 40 degrees outside? 65 inside? Do they have a ton of heat lamps for their iguana collection? Or are they just bad at noticing "when does this need to be on". #wasteful #stupidpeople #airconditioning

If you've "Left the Left" & haven't gotten a book deal & an interview/speaking gig circuit, you've been ripped off!

Is this the MOST Halloween book you'll ever read? Maybe, but it IS set around the Irish hill where the bonefires were first lit. It is a story about the very roots of Halloween; the horror, mythology, and the harvest festival that lies between life and death.

Build more bike lanes
“Local stores next to the protected bike-lane have seen a 49% increase in sales, compared to an average of 3% for Manhattan as a whole.”

Research from New York City notes that newly installed protected bike lanes do more than keep bikers safe--they raise the income of the stores they are in front of.

For the animal & model train and transit enthusiasts-
A guy is building an underground system for cats, and Ireland’s best engineers can’t even develop a metro system linking the airport to the city! 😂

I love this prompt list! I love worldbuilding probably more than actual storytelling, very Tolkien of me.
Flutes, lyres, drums, and harps are the most common instruments in the Compact. Lutes and guitars may be invented soon, but that’s up in the air. Horns exist, but are relatively primitive: modern brass instruments and woodwinds are probably a long way off.

Here's #AugustWorldbuilders! Feel free to interpret prompts however you wish, but please keep them on the topic of your fictional writing. Nothing about reality. Also, if you don't have an answer, please don't feel obliged to answer and tag me. I don't like being spammed with "no" responses!

#kidicalmass that's adorable, what a great idea! Take back the streets!
Many thanks to everyone for a lovely experience with my first ever bike ride in Halifax as part of #Kidicalmass this morning! It is very evident that our local cycling community is full of kindness and care. I felt very safe and looked after as a new duckling of the flock!

we should having a betting pool on progressives who build straw "bad woke leftists who embarrass us & cost us the elections" & bond w/ moderates over bashing the blue-hairs. Bet on how soon they'll be doing the How I Left the Left circuit. So unique & thoughtful!

Wondering how people do activism/community stuff in places where people are just anti-social. Just reading a thread about "Seattle Freeze" which sounds worse than MN Nice. #minnesotanice #seattlefreeze #communityorganizing #americanculture #janteloven #antisocial

I've now decided that I'd prefer the company of repentant Orange Man supporters than progressives who still think they are morally superior for not voting/voting 3rd party. #uspolitics #puritypolitics

it's ok to be a gay, lesbian, bi, trans etc person who doesn't identify as queer, or doesn't like pride, have particular political views etc. none of it is mandatory because of your orientation. but you don't need to get pissy about it. #lgbtpolitics #lgbtcommunity #lgbtpride

I hate holidays. Getting anyone to celebrate with is such a pain. "sorry I already have plans!" at least it's not December an entire month of smugness at the darkest time of year. Yuck.
