May Kushner and all the rest of them never sleep ever again (as I get older, imprecatory wishes for insomnia are my go-to 🤷‍♀️). Not one more restful night.

1) the way it prompts you to look at maps and zoom in on the straightest-line possibilities around you; and 2) the way it creates a Robert Frost-like "momentary stay against confusion" for the hours you give it a go, with nothing on the to-do list besides the path ahead of you. Join us!

Apparently there is a super tame/PR-friendly #STL bike/walk bingo game going around this week for Week Without Driving, so I gotta re-up the original I created a few years ago. Slightly more realistic imho, feel free to play

Favorite moment of today was doing an unrelated work errand in a neighborhood where one of our school-based Earn-A-Bike cohorts was due for a graduation ride after six weeks of class, and getting to see them in action 😎

It's now kind of a ritual for me. Today's stroll included checking out a new MCT trail, protecting a caterpillar from oncoming bikes :), listening to an Elaine Pagels book, and saying hello to some critter sculptures as well as lots of fellow trail users. Such a beautiful day to be out!

It's the 277th day of the year, and an October Sunday, which meant a ten-mile walk this morning. A Strava group I'm in challenges you to do at least a mile walking or running outside every day with no misses, plus the number of the month once a week (so 2 miles once a week in Feb, 3 in Mar, etc).

Artie thought these cats were real and told them off

Evie Hemphill @evhemphill.bsky.social · 01/10/2026

Artie's morning to-do list: ✅️ plead for a dental treat ✅️ act oppressed by the cat and avoid eye contact with said cat in hopes of this rendering him invisible to said cat ✅️ sniff all the things ✅️ bark angrily at at least three (3) cyclists on the trail, including a kid riding to school 🤦‍♀️

Not pictured: Today's 18 @stlbworks.bsky.social Learn-To-Ride and Earn-A-Bike students at Oak Hill Elementary. We are in the 4th week of this school year's partnership with Oak Hill's 4th-grade team & we'll be there nearly every week all the way through May. Proud of our teachers, helpers and kids.

P.S. There are more bike buses to help with very soon! If you're in #STL and want to help keep kids safe and joyful riding to school, please learn more and sign up here: form.jotform.com/262684572254...

It is a beautiful evening for the Traditional Music Festival though. In honor of the late George Portz, who was always fun to dance with (to his live fiddle music)

At a clogging show but can't wait to get home to this guy (Joe and Hobo cat too!). I know I am biased but look at that face 🥺

Clearly ready to take on #bikebus and then "your car has been totaled" logistics and b.s. after Joe was rear-ended by a dude last week. Many things feel broken and/or like an absolute racket/scam these days. Working on accepting what I have to and changing what I can.

I will never not share all things Vedauwoo. Here's the last pic I took there, in July of this year. Magical place

JFC this day. I could not stop crying when I got home around 10, until I took a calming shower and got multiple hugs from Joe and the pets

Been feeling pretty busy and overwhelmed but I had the space to take a four-hour walk today (and each Sunday lately). Pretty lucky, really.

...advocates, school champions, officers, and BWorks colleagues and friends all stepping up to help with these in the #STL bistate the past few years! It's a lot of work and the kids are worth it! Bike bus!! @bikebusworld.bsky.social

#Bikebus is an international movement specifically focused on empowering children's active mobility to and from school. It takes a village to do even one bike bus, and it's great to see so many fellow cyclists, neighbors...

So proud of today's City of Edwardsville #bikebus season kickoff! Twenty-one of us volunteers are jumping in today and the next two Fridays to guide upper-elementary riders across three #bikebus routes to Cassens, Columbus and Woodland elementaries. 🧵

Snapped a pic of a partner school's hallway display this afternoon, not knowing how much I would need to read it by late evening. Joee was rear-ended hard but is OK (car is not, but probably will be soom). Then I got home and as I got out of our other car to hug him and Artie dog as they 1/2

It's incredibly cool that the Edwardsville Intelligencer took it upon their journalistic selves to make our #bikebus the front page story today. I don't have time to pitch anything these days but sometimes the happy stories still happen. Gift link: www.theintelligencer.com/news/article...

It's very hot in #STL lately. 🫠 I have accepted that I will be pretty drenched and embarrassing partway through many of our @stlbworks.bsky.social workdays because we are outside year round helping kids learn to bike and also moving bikes and (in the case of expert colleagues) building bikes. 1/2

Am out doing a long walk this a.m. and happened to cross paths with my husband's MO-based aunt, uncle and cousin all out biking together over this way. The MCT is hopping this morning! Oh and I met a newly installed creature near Esic and 157

Artie is at his shaggiest/messiest (overdue for a groom) and is taking his sweet time on our morning mile. 💙 I don't blame him as we did not sleep well due to a loud house party just down the street. Lots of college-age folks yelling and walking past all night. How do we fight (beyond barking)?

Evie Hemphill @evhemphill.bsky.social · 09/09/2026

This AI crap makes me want to go cold turkey on the interwebs for life. Who wants a fake glass of wine and cute puppy when I intend to have both IRL within the hour? So depressing and concerning 😭 (pic is a fake detail from an FB acquaintance's ... just bums me out when the real world is lit 🥺😭)
