Another example of why there’s no “agree to disagree” on the fundamental dignity of people. Unless the social penalties for being a bigot are massive it will just keep getting worse.

Yep the bike lane is the rational and reasonable place to put a traffic control sign for drivers. @mayorq.bsky.social can we take action against these contractors who fail to consider any other users except for drivers when placing signs? These are a danger & hindrance to everyone not in a car.

Hi friends: I haven't written an article in three months. Here's why, and how my experience as a caregiver to a person I love with a disabling, terminal illness upended most of what I think about car dependency and transportation reform.

How becoming a caregiver for a person with terminal illness changed the way I think about transportation reform.

Dolly Parton was universally loved because she was a rich person who knew what it was like to be poor, stayed down to earth, and spent her life giving back to others who were less fortunate. The oligarchs who don’t understand why everyone hates them probably won’t learn from this. But they should

If you thought Kansas City's vroom-vroom bros were bad, you should check out downtown Lincoln. And by that I mean you should definitely avoid downtown Lincoln 😒

Car-blindness is real! Psychologists or sociologists should study this. Giant two-ton boxes flying all around us, piloted by people who have been rendered psychopaths, regularly injuring & killing our neighbors, and many/most people just ... don't register it. It's just background noise.

*Alaska and Hawaii excluded, void where prohibited
We're in a church basement for a funeral meal. There's a commercial coffee pot and dispensers for lemonade, water, and tea. Behind them on the wall hang two frames: a graphic reading "One nation, under God" next to a 48-star United States flag.

Seven years ago today I tried an ebike on a lunch hour. Yesterday I "raced" 128 miles on dirt. What's next?
A white electric share bike with an orange saddle parked in front of a soon-to-be discarded car. This is the day I was bike-pilled.An exhausted man in an orange shirt and white bicycle helmet has just finished a challenging section of rutted prairieland. He's not yet halfway done. He has no idea how sore he'll be the next day.

I wanted to call out from my porch to a friend pedalling by, but the oncoming driver meant distraction could be deadly. I let him go in silence. Cars really do ruin everything.

Good chance the muscle car parked outside my house was stolen and dumped. I could report it, but since it's not the kind of vehicle that should be driven within earshot of society, I'ma let this fucker sit in timeout.
