Oh I’m also visiting Vancouver! Biked around Stanley Park today and couldn’t recommend it enough. (But FYI it’s one way, counterclockwise only)

You’d love it!

No fenders is crazy

Map of US showing road fatalities by state and text that reads “17.2 daily vulnerable road user fatalities”

Infographic saying “the net the fatality rate nationwide increased by 29.3% from 2001-2023” and “Pedestrians are killed most frequently of all VRU types.”

Excellent data viz and reporting from The White Line on traffic violence in the US

A two-way bike lane, protected by a narrow curbed median with grass and trees

Google reminds me of my one-year-ago trip to Montreal, and my God do I ever love the way they use street trees and plants to shelter the bike lane. NYC should do this.

This is so sad 😞

If you think electric bikes are bad, there’s a much bigger menace hitting our roads Electric bikes are a menace. They go almost as fast as a car (if the car is parking), they’re whisper...

“While we’re busy debating throttle limits and helmet rules for e-bikes, maybe we should also talk about how tens of millions of drivers still routinely speed, blow stop signs, or scroll Instagram at 45 mph in a school zone. Or how car crashes are the number one killer of teenagers in America.”

If you are not full throatedly defending Mamdani - no ifs, ands, or buts - from this racist drivel, you're no ally of mine.

Thanks!

Ooo where is this map?

A photograph of a very long printed list of names and ages on receipt paper, piled up and curling around. Black and white.

Looking for a place to install an extremely long list of known names of those killed in Gaza. NYC or northeast, ideally. Any ideas?

Art is always a great use of street space (University Place by Union Square)

Created this Palestine Solidarity feed. It's automated, so let me know if anything is out of place.

Small enamel pins, some say “Free Palestine” while others say “Stop Funding Genocide”

Free Palestine pins available for Palestine fundraisers in NYC. Message me if you’re hosting a fundraiser and would like me to bring a bunch!

Love this!!! 🇵🇸🍉✊

I guess Union Square is a parking lot now

Thanks for sharing ❤️

A receipt printer labeled “killed by Israel’s genocide” printing a long list of names into a pile on a table

Closeup of list of names printed on receipt paper

The receipt is so long it’s spilling onto the ground

The list is longer than I could print

Progressive platforms like Climate Defiance and @climatetown.bsky.social have endorsed Kamala Harris even though she’s a huge supporter of expanding natural gas, which is dirtier than coal. Not to mention her support for funding genocide.

Unacceptable.

Opinion: It’s time for Hochul to unpause congestion pricing We’re suing Gov. Kathy Hochul because her reckless decision to pause congestion pricing threatens our state’s climate goals.

It’s time to unpause.nyc

It’s proposed but not yet official. Write in your support for it here!! www.regulations.gov/document/NHT...

Holding a “Congestion pricing explained” zine at a subway station entrance

Out here at one of the Brooklyn subway stations that’s been denied an elevator because of Hochul’s pause on congestion pricing. After talking to neighbors, it’s clear: Brooklyn riders want congestion pricing! unpause.nyc

What to do about America’s killer cars The country’s roads are nearly twice as dangerous as the rich-world average. It doesn’t have to be that way

“As well as making cars lighter, you can make accidents rarer and less deadly. In America the first step should be to redesign the road system.”

YES! THANK YOU!

Every single day, I find it extremely shocking that a foreign state has conspired with US politicians and a complicit media to violently suppress a nonviolent movement protesting a genocide, and somehow it’s been framed, to much of the US public, that the protesters are radical dangerous terrorists.

Such a shame. She would be an infinitely better candidate if she simply committed to stop funding genocide.
