Having trouble getting up out of bed? Try an earthquake alert on your phone!
Luckily for me, it was too far away to be felt. But people around Lake Tahoe felt it I’m sure.

Remember this picture, & others like it, every time you hear someone in your city say "we're not Amsterdam."

This was #Amsterdam in the 1970s.

Many of the cities we admire made better choices regarding cars in the past. and are still making better choices today.

Better choices instead of excuses.

@502eire.lol hey, congratulations on the sobriety. I’m the child of two sober alcoholics, so although I can’t speak from experience how important or challenging this is, I only speak from personal observation. (I’m a teetotaler as a result so I can never know what I’m missing if I don’t start.)

big lesson for america here: one reason you dont elect people who believe bull shit like "theyre eating the pets" or "theyre putting kitty litter boxes in the classrooms" is bc if they get in power theyll believe bull shit like "tariffs are a tax cut actually"

This thread clearly explains why the US is imposing tariffs. Trying to become a king.
Those trying to understand the tariffs as economic policy are dangerously naive.

No, the tariffs are a tool to collapse our democracy. A means to compel loyalty from every business that will need to petition Trump for relief.

Happy birthday to my dear @uncle6.org ! Let’s eat pancakes and party with friends and drown out ur sorrows. If I have to live through the destruction of democracy in our country, I’d rather do it with you.

Time for another reminder — our values & priorities are revealed in countless small but key details in our city design, deliberate decisions that have prioritized cars over people for decades.

It will take equally deliberate decisions to change.

THIS. Everything about this including her follow up comments about ableism & racism. My (skinny) DH @uncle6.org usually brags about packing just a carryon, but his clothes & societal expectations are smaller, and doesn’t carry all the special meds or CPAP that I do. We both have white privilege tho
Packing light is also thin privilege.
Packing light isn’t just a skill. It’s privilege. For women, societal pressures to look polished and youthful make carry-on-only travel much harder than it seems.

In this blog-rant, I unpack the gender politics of hand luggage 🧳

Here’s some common sense for you. If u want to or need to drive in cities, your problem isn’t people choosing walking, biking & public transit because of smart, safe infrastructure. It’s all those people being forced to drive big cars instead, stuck in traffic in front of you. #TheTRUTHaboutTraffic
