The 80s were a really shitty time to be any kind of weird, much less a bunch of kinds. Kids and adults alike let me know something “wasn’t right” starting in Kindergarten, and bullying was normalized as something I probably needed in order to “toughen up.”

Yes! The Killing (Forbrydelsen) came to mind for me, but I feel like I could go down a major rabbit hole of Northern England, Scotland, Denmark, Norway, and Sweden-based murder mysteries and thrillers here.

I love it! We need a Right to Roam law for at least the first 100m above the high water line around any navigable waters. Take back the coastlines, but also the river shores. Ports and moorings could be operated as parking benefit districts.

It was the day for that. I was in a mustard yellow and green rain jacket walking up to the Junction and almost got taken out by a guy in an SUV who clearly hadn’t planned on stopping for the 4-way stop. He even threw his arms up as if I was somehow the one in the wrong.

Thank you! SF needs actual single-stair reform, not this nonsense. There is no reason SF shouldn’t be building true, 6-story single-stair buildings throughout the Hayes Valley, Richmond, and Sunset neighborhoods immediately.

I can tell you why you credulous fuckwits - teenagers are staying in the closet because homophobia and transphobia are just mainstreamed and portrayed as “asking questions” and “the other side of an argument” by a complicit political and media class

Yes! Raised higher above foot traffic and narrower, for 2-4 rail lines, makes a great space for street food vendors.

“Someone with a 1-hr car commute needs to earn 40% more to be as happy as someone with a short walk to work. On the other hand, if someone shifts from a long commute to a walk, their happiness increases as much as if they’d fallen in love.” #CityMakingMath 50 reasons for more walkable streets.

That was my first season as a fan, 2002-03, and I couldn’t afford a jersey at the time so finding one in such good condition years later was amazing.

After a major water intrusion required my home “office” space to get demolished and rebuilt last winter, and then all the drama with my work and health, it feels really good to get things put back up above my desk again the way I want them. #LFC #YNWA

This is such amazing tech, and yet another reason supporting protected bike lanes and ADA-compliant sidewalks (free of Lime bikes and scooters!) is so important. People need safe spaces to get around via whatever mode works best for them.

What is it going to take to get this absolute blight on The Junction demolished and replaced with a 12+ story mixed used building with condos and/or family-sized apartments? The West Seattle Link Extension is happening. Let’s create The Junction that we want! #WestSeattle #Urbanism

Hardened separation & speed bumps that actually work. If a Rivian doesn’t slow down to at most 15 mph, I want the underside of that thing torn out. *This opinion may or may not be informed by one particular driver who consistently drive 40+ down SW Genesee, endangering every child walking to school

I truly believe Gen X and Millenials were so bombarded with news like Polly Klaas and others in the 90’s that it warped a lot of our views about how to make/keep kids safe in the world (especially suburbia).

Both ends of this chart make we want some parents to be investigated. If your 5-year old can “go anywhere” unaccompanied, you worry me. If your teenager cannot leave the house without an adult, they’re probably being abused.
