Glad to live in a place that values, encourages even, year-round outdoor recreation.

Second zip, this time metal, on a waxed canvas cube bag. I think I’ll halve this pattern for the next one, but I’m chuffed with the off-piste handle additions here. #sewing

Oh wow. First ever zip. #sewing

I regret my life won’t be long enough to read all of the books I’d like to.

*I’m not dying soon, there’s just too many books.

To everyone who does, from someone who used to. I see you.

Excelsior & Blake, in Hopkins, MN...
stroads like this could never be retrofitted to be as quiet, safe, and inviting as that street in haarlem

instead we funnel density to shitty and toxic places.

and then wonder why cities aren't thriving

in seattle, we have overlay districts where buildings are designed to accommodate pedestrians and have storefronts.

most of these streets are massive stroads bisecting neighborhoods. some are actual highways.

this is one in crown hill.

folks.

those are 7 lanes for cars.

In South Dakota for the holiday and my BlueSky has been restricted because I won’t upload my ID to the platform. For a people who claim to be pro-freedom, this sure seems like state-censorship to me!

Piggyland coming to St. Paul next season? @ironpigs.bsky.social I’ll be there in my bright pink Coquis cap!

My last sweater was completely in stockinette stitch and was such a slog. I may have overcompensated this time, with something way too fiddly. It wouldn’t be a project of mine if it weren’t full of self-loathing! #knitting

I’m a lucky lad that I get to ride bikes in places like this. Especially when there’s a dusting of snow at home. #biking #cycling

@lukewanderer.bsky.social We just did an air-source heat pump/hybrid HE furnace. The first time it used the gas this season was this morning, and I think I need to go tick the switchover temp down some. So far so good tho!

See this amount of your own blood splashed on the floor would be alarming, but when it’s in a neat little bag, it’s not so bad! #donateblood #blooddonation

Completely unrelated I’m sure, but here’s a photo of a box bike parked out front of the Nobel Peace Center in Oslo from when I had the pleasure and privilege to visit few years back. I’d like to think it’s still there today.

Imagine dying in slow motion, ignored, in the care of those that are supposed to be the protectors of a community. American policing is a failed institution.

Do we know what time this “rapture” is supposed to be? *taps wrist* I’ve got things I want to get done.

Thanks, I hate it. But not as much as the Wilfs.

Maybe this sounds familiar:

Bike infrastructure get proposed as part of a street redesign. A small group of confused but VERY vocal individuals begin making a lot of noise about how no one wants this, no one will use this, it will literally cause the sky to fall.

Three-quarters of Americans support bike lanes in their area and nearly half say they increase quality of life | YouGov
Americans are more likely to say bike lanes increase than decrease overall quality of life as well as safety for pedestrians, cyclists, and drivers.
