A friend’s 3-year old on a pedestrian street: “There’s no cars here so we don’t have to hold hands. I can run!”

The Arlington County Fair was 10/10. Funnel cake, electric bus shuttles, and e-bike test rides. And we couldn’t decide if @maureencoffeyva.bsky.social or baby Margot were the bigger celeb in this photo

Buying an e-bike this summer has been life-changing and I don't use that term lightly. It brings my family SO. MUCH. JOY. to be outside in the world on our trips to daycare, work, and other errands. Apply for an e-bike voucher through Aug 28th: www.arlingtonva.us/Government/P...

Ignoring all the news and just marinating in the delight of bringing a giant sleeve of diapers to daycare on my e-bike via the Arlington trails

It makes zero sense to limit e-bikes only to 15mph. Even without the electric assist, it’s pretty easy to go 15mph on a bike. Further, cars, buses, rideshares, motorcycles, trucks, and taxis are all allowed to go more than 15mph. It’s way safer to go the speed of traffic.

really feels like housing affordability is one of the most important political issues of our time, affecting nearly every aspect of our lives, and everyday our mainstream political discourse is about whether sour cream is woke or not

Thanks for hosting the best yimby happy hour @janefgreen.bsky.social I learned so much 🤯 and the pizza was pretty good (but they should have given me a ziplock and not a box for my remaining slices. Ziplocks are easier on transit.)

I bought 5 items at the DOLLAR store in Seven Corners and I paid $11.93. Did I just get scammed?

Finally feeling like a true urbanist: took delivery of our first e-bike today and installed the toddler seat for daycare drop off. Enjoyed a lovely ride home! Strictly e-bikes in Alx gets a 10/10

My past month in a nutshell:
1. Got smart on local VA politics
2. Knocked doors for @abigailspanberger.com
3. Watched my brother-in-law @rikleen.bsky.social launch his epic campaign to unseat Markey as Senator of MA
4. Met our incredible future governor of the Commonwealth of Virginia herself!!

This has nothing to do with the other guy on the other platform and everything to do with my daughter is 3.5 months old and has NEVER BEEN IN A GASOLINE-POWERED VEHICLE!! Pic from August shortly after she was born.

Just learned that this empty lot adjacent to my yard near EFC metro has been untouched for 6 mos because it’s a candidate for missing middle development! Truly a YIMBY moment. Excited to see how this plays out now, rather than just dreading the construction noise.
