🚨 A new rule weakening the ESA is now in effect. It removes habitat modification from the definition of “harm,” putting protections for species that depend on habitat to recover, at risk. Bipartisan H.R. 9901 would restore these protections. 📣Urge your Rep. to support this bill: bit.ly/4y1de3q

why won't your local bike shop fix your internet e-bike? Anecdote: Nobody operates a thriving neighbourhood toaster repair business. It's not because humanity forgot how to fix toasters. It's because eventually it became cheaper to throw away the toaster.

TFW when you have a delish dinner at Bodega and are too full for ice cream at Kind next door so the server suggests buying a couple pints and eating them an hour later and so we did. This 15 minute city is ruining our lives.

I worked for New York’s largest medical center at the start of the pandemic. There were morgue trucks on the streets. They set up emergency medical tents in Central Park. Healthcare worker colleagues died. It is horrific that RFK Jr is on national TV lying that ICUs were empty.

Bike theft prevention starts before a bike is stolen. We have helped thousands of cyclists register with @bikeindex.org & @project529.bsky.social while keeping stolen bikes out of our events. We will be starting free public registration events so there are more registrations = more recoveries. 🚲💙
