Highland Bridge is a suburb within Saint Paul. But I do love riding through the pedestrian corridor as a shortcut. I even stop sometimes for a peaceful moment. Great place to cry, down by the water.

Grab a drink and connect with fellow advocates at our happy hour and letter writing party to save the Twin Cities Boulevard! We'll be at Urban Growler (a bicycle benefits business) and receive an update from Our Streets staff about the Rethinking I-94 project.

Option in-state. To have my final act be one of land preservation. To return to the earth like a leaf, to be the fuel of life, continued.

When I first learned of green cemeteries I knew it would be the option closest to my wishes (to be left in the woods unburied- “but what if some kid sees a coyote running around with your head?!” my mom would say). At the time there were few and none in MN. I hope to live long enough to have this 1/

Reskinning seemed like a treatment I’d try of available 🤷🏻‍♀️

The Roadless Rule — which prevents all road-building, logging, mining, and mineral extraction on 58 million acres of public lands — was a hard-fought victory by environmentalists. The Trump administration began the process of rescinding it in June.

I’ve developed the same struggle. My nutritionist said it can come with perimenopause. So I asked my aunties and they said they could guzzle coffee again once they were in Final Form. Something to look forward to!

Sometimes there's so much beauty in the world,... I feel like I can't take it. And my heart is just going to cave in.

If you are in the metro this Sunday, please join us for a roll down Summit Ave.

The adopted Regional Trail Plan is at risk because of the small wealthy group of homeowners who oppose this being a safer corridor.

Meet at 1pm at the WWI Memorial.

Printing presses kept their letters in cases.

Capital letters went in the upper case.
Smaller letters went in the lower case.

This is why we say ‘UPPER CASE’ and ‘lower case.’

Ok, but what did we call them before the invention of the printing press?

MAJUSCULE and minuscule.

How to design safer intersections:

​1. Near-sided signals. Placed before the bike/ped crossing, they prevent drivers from creeping into the path.

​2. Pavement differentiation. High-contrast, colored crossings (like this red asphalt) clearly establish priority and command driver attention.

I need a miracle cure for endometriosis so I can use HRT. Or pain and suffering into an early grave I go [dramatic].

Kingsley Bimpong was jailed instead of hospitalized; video shows guards ignored his suffering for hours.

I've been wondering why Dominion Voting Systems suddenly reached settlements with Rudy Giuliani, Sidney Powell, and One America News.

Turns out, it's been purchased by a Republican-owned election tech firm that insisted on it, per Axios.

Just staring blankly at this combo of picture footnotes and article text. They do go on to point out that Walz also deployed the NG domestically, but without any real commentary.

Pioneer Press is looking for a cargo bike family in St. Paul that’s interested in letting them take some pics/ videos of the fam doing cargo bike stuff. The writer reaching out recently had an Urban Arrow demo, but I don’t think he’s picky about what bike the fam is using. Let me know if interested.

Great work by @cityofsaintpaul.bsky.social Solid Waste and Recycling team! www.fox9.com/video/1720922

“Book it!” was my favorite part 🤣

We’re well past requiring only that housing providers maintain working heat minimums. Heat maximums should be incorporated as we adapt and as a means of community resilience. This seems like a reasonable price to save a life.
