Thank you so much to everyone who came to the Broadway ride, joined us for the picnic, and/or wrote letters to the city! I was a little worried about the rain, but it ended up being a great day to spend with the bike community, and I appreciate so much how many folks turned out!

#WuTurn #IfWuWontWeWill
A sign taped to a pole says,
If Wu Won't, We Will!
This installation was placed here by concerned Boston area residents who want to see everyone who travels through here, regardless of mode, arrive alive.  After a resident and City of Boston transportation planner was killed here, her colleagues—knowledgeable and skilled street designers—should have been the ones ensuring that same tragedy wouldn't befall anyone else.  Unfortunately, Mayor Wu hasn't let them do their jobs since early 2025.  If the mayor won't keep our neighbors safe, We Will.

At ≈22:50, a driver in a white Honda Accord with illegally tinted plate covers just turned right from Grove onto Highland near Davis Square and nearly hit a crossing pedestrian. I pointed that out, and the passenger told the driver to run me over 🫠 #MA_5XHY38

RT @drgnfrt@twitter.com This is a really exciting option for me. I can host children’s birthday parties on the ground floor while also having enough space to reconstruct the Saw bathroom in its entirety in the basement.
A floor of the building has a large open space with bright different colored diamond-shaped tiles and bright teal walls.A floor of the building looks like a largely unfinished, unmaintained basement with a cracked concrete floor, exposed pipes, and debris, but a finished ceiling.

They DM'd me on Twitter and are now claiming my flight was delayed due to weather??? My family and I were physically directed to get back off the plane, and then it took off without me. I am familiar with weather delays, and that is *not* a weather delay.
A Twitter message from American Airlines says, We understand your concerns and frustrations for the extra time added to your travel schedule.  The original flight, redacted, from, redacted, was delayed due to weather conditions at the board point.  As weather impacted the flight we won't be able to provide reimbursement, as the disruption falls outside the airline's control.
