If you care at all about land use reform and smarter transportation in Minnesota, listen to this. @ianrbuck.bsky.social put in a ton of effort, countless hours of interviews and background research. Thank you to every organization who discussed the session with us!

My partner @jasoncapsaicin.bsky.social made a step by step guide on how to break up ice in your neighborhood in Minnesota. Enjoy!

Someone remake “It’s a Wonderful Life” but Mr. Potter believes that hoarding is morally required so he can devote resources to delivering a far future with trillions of humans while George Bailey is like, “Gosh Darnit! What if taking care of people today is what takes care of people in the future?!”

"On October 4 2025, Move Minnesota’s Livable Lyndale campaign hosted a “Stroll & Roll” rally to showcase what the experience will be like if Lyndale is reconstructed with a shared use path, as the current county design calls for. Here is a collection of testimonials from people in attendance."

Minneapolis bike pals! Anyone looking for a 1 bedroom apartment (first floor) in a quadplex of other bike people? Locked garage available, secure underground storage too, cat friendly, and you get to be my neighbor! Rent is approx $1,000 a month and includes water, trash, heat.

We recorded this before Speaker Hortman was stolen from us. Now I can hear what we took for granted. We shared a short example of her leadership and it seemed like a given. It’s not. Nobody could have handled a tied House like she did. We owe her so much. #mnleg podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/s...

I was imagining this meme while biking past a mile of backed up cars with @ianrbuck.bsky.social on Marshall Avenue in Saint Paul earlier this week, and he made it real!
Meme with two images. The first has a person captioned with "I-94 construction gridlock" and the character saying "I feel bad for you" and the second is captioned with "bike commuters" saying "I don't think about you at all."

The Ward 8 episodes of the Wedge LIVE podcast are so popular that I ran into a ward 10 resident at Lake of the Isles wasting his time listening to one of them.

Moving an entire apartment via bicycles! @ianrbuck.bsky.social is moving across town, so we got three ebikes and a few trailers and got to work. 2 trips later and Ian's place has desks, a bed, table, bookshelf and a couch!

📚💙 My other half and I just finished the audiobook for #ProjectHailMary and we are happy happy happy. The narration is top notch and was so perfect for us to listen to while traveling. If you can, grab it from your local library and give it a listen.

We hit a new level of relationship cuteness. Matching winter bikes! Welcome to the pack, Presidio. *For reference, Ian's bike is an XL and mine is XS.
Two silver and black bicycles Allen against a wall. They both say "Marin" in lime lettering. One bike is considerably smaller than the other

Our final talk of the night was from @ianrbuck.bsky.social, who started out by having us play with LEGOs before revealing it was actually a trick to teach us about binary.
