Okay this is super cool

I dunno, within the first bit of this conversation she mentions that she's basically been shadowbanned off Twitter and lost her job at the Washington Post. And "the internet" doesn't PAY you, not much and not without a ton of work, so holding your livelihood hostage is kind of silencing you.

Okay, this is a WTF worlds collide moment

HELL yes I would play this, and I would play it with Tengger Cavalry's acoustic work in the background

She was actually a great-great aunt, came over from Glasgow. But still, it never occurred to me before that I actually *have* a great-aunt Euphemia lol

This is a bizarre thing to randomly come across when you actually HAD a great-aunt named Euphemia

Thanks, and good to know, that's my neighbourhood! I did a bunch of stretches this evening and it seems to be doing okay-ish

I'll have to head out there: nuthatches are great, they're like fancy racing chickadees.

Dear Toronto: We will stop scoring runs this game if Doug Ford agrees to stop tearing out bike lanes. Until then, the runs will continue.

Ooh, you got a nuthatch to land on your hand? I've never pulled that off

Couldn't climb today, but thought a tweaked back might benefit from a walk in the woods. This isn't him/her, but one of the chickadees I encountered had been banded three times, and I ran into the same bird twice at two different points in my walk, which was cool. Also I love chickadees immensely.

I once had a job as a research assistant and editor for a man who was writing a novel about Columbus and the conquistadors and I know waaaay too much about Columbus and yep, he was a monster among monsters.

Honestly, that video just made me emotional. Makes me believe good will win over evil because good is joyful (and weird)

A lil game I've started playing is when I'm waiting in my car at a light and I see the person next to me on their phone, I do a little beep of the horn just to watch them jump and snap their attention up because they think the light has changed. Sometimes they even put the phone down for a moment!

Ah, still wishing you a happy Canadian Thanksgiving :-)

YOU TOO, EH?

I firmly believe that only Portland would convene an Emergency World Naked Bike Ride

Is Ottawa school zone safety negotiable?

📣 No! Tell the Mayor to stand up to the province and anyone who makes communities less safe.

Alternatively and more obscurely. "ATIP request: WFA/RTO."

"Client-written, using Copilot"

Wow, a "Gatekeeping is good, actually" cyclist, that's a vanishing breed! You don't really see them in the wild much anymore. Note the distinctive greying hair and their call: "Just get decades of riding in and learn the ruuuuuules; be-a-man, be-a-man, be-a-man"
