Hello, all! I’m stoked to be here and out of algo-misery to rediscover the commons with y’all. That said, I’m still getting my bearings on how to explore this place. Like is the internet really encouraging me to ask strangers for directions in the year of our lord 2026?? Well, here I am asking! Which corners of the federation are you enjoying these days? Bonus points if they involve #dogs #goodbooks #bloomscrolling #walkablecities

With care,

Virtual Event - #MaineBikePed Monthly Meetups

January 19 @ 4:00 pm – 5:00 pm

"Join us for Monthly Maine Bike Ped Meetups! Across Maine, local bike/ped committees, planning commissions, non-profits, and volunteers are working hard to improve safe, enjoyable, and practical active and #AlternateTransportation options. But we aren’t always talking to one another! In these virtual monthly meetings, we hope we can learn from each other’s successes and challenges, get advice, and share resources in a casual setting – a forum for those already active in the bike/ped world, as well as for those who are curious about the current work being done or who want to start their own local conversations. Meetings recur every third Monday of the month at 4 PM via Zoom (FMI at link below). Meetings will be ~45 minutes and will consist of introductions, share outs, and time for questions! I’ll be there to facilitate and help connect folks with resources."

ASU study: Relying on a car is linked to lower life satisfaction. The most surprising aspect of this is the ASU part — my alma mater. Rababe could have just asked me.

I just realized that all of the seasons of "The Life Sized City" are free on YouTube since 2024. I was previously unable to watch these because of paywalls, subscriptions, etc.

Urban cows. What the small car-dependent minority don't see and don't know is that Antananarivo is a patchwork of walkable villages.

@joeldn I've always thought Bristol could use something like this for our hills!

When I land, one of the first things I'm doing is taking the Mid-Levels escalators up to my Airbnb, luggage and all.

Non-driving New Yorkers elected Zohran

Car ownership was the strongest statistical factor predicting whether a New Yorker voted for Cuomo or Mamdani. More than race, age, home ownership, anything.

Every city is walkable if you're willing to walk on a highway.

Esto está recién inaugurado. ¿Cómo se puede urbanizar una calle en Europa en 2025 y "olvidarse" de un trozo de acera?

I'm starting to think that having millions of gas-burning, fume-spewing cars literally everywhere may be contributing to the whole chronic illness thing.

Call me conservative, but I say we bring back the “Death-O-Meter” that keeps a running tally of those injured by cars near major intersections
