Hopping back on Bluesky after @leahstokes.bsky.social’s talk at UBC, and I just learned about the wonderful existence of Starter Packs! Thanks so much for helping me find a few new pals to learn from on here :)

Didn’t catch it on camera, but some of the more egregious folks swerved *around* cars that stopped for pedestrians to maintain speed. For folks going to school, work, doctor’s appointments or holiday shopping, this shouldn’t be normalized. @lucymaloney.bsky.social @seanorr.bsky.social

Reminder: if traffic lights are out, treat the intersection as a stop sign! Cars have routinely been going 30-50kph through this intersection, with near-collisions from folks turning right or stopping for pedestrians. Stay safe out there.
