IF YOU BUILD A BIKE LANE THAT DOESN'T CONNECT TO ANOTHER BIKE LANE THEN YOU DIDN'T BUILD A BIKE LANE

I keep speculating on possible outcomes (like most of this sh*tshow)- and it will either be built quickly and shoddily to get it done in two years, or it will take what monuments usually take, and we'll be left with two stubs forever.

Ah, these are fantastic! I discovered the Jamaica Bay branch last year- glad to see it represented in her photos.

Reading Room: A Catalog of New York City's Branch Libraries - Urban Omnibus

Since it's #NationalLibraryWeek, I am going to share a cool library thing every day.

Today, I am sharing "Reading Room" a project by Elizabeth Felicella, a photographer, who passed away way too early last year at 58 years old.

Ha for a second I thought this was old black and white footage!

Next they're going to use it as an excuse for teaching the Bible in school...

No worries- its just part-time seasonal... help.

Me explaining the best way to get somewhere by bike to my kids:

GAP could be an incredible urban space, if we had the guts to give drivers a few fewer choices.

'Mother of All Inventions '

Well, and "The Rats of NIMH"...

Efficient electric steam generation would be huge- I see a lot of NYC school buildings that keep oil or gas because they heat the buildings with steam. They can go to a cleaner grade of oil, but its hard to kick hydrocarbons without replacing the entire heating system.

It's an efficient way to move a lot of energy.

Wasn't "saboteur" from a similar time- shoemakers destroying factory machines that were taking their jobs? (I'm summoning this from an illustrated history book we had when I was a kid, so this is not a deeply-researched fact)

all these universities kept axing medieval history departments as if they thought tyrants beefing with the Pope was going to stop being relevant

Probably cheaper than the eventual damage toll (and just general piracy) of this administration anyway.

Friends, school architecture may have peaked in the 1970s.

Check your USDA zone! I always want to start planting stuff a month before I really can.

But shall this crazed old man be tamely suffered to drag a whole ship’s company down to doom with him?

Ah, those are the loveliest little anti-pigeon spikes I've ever seen!

I guess we finally get "infrastructure week".

That's home. That's us.

This image of home just came down from the Artemis II crew.

Having listened to this album a LOT over the years, I'm really struck by how subdued her voice in the album version is- no growl, no twang. Love this.

I'm assuming all his minions will get buried with him in AF1 when the time comes?

I think we're going win, but I want to win hard enough that we start paying artists to paint murals in post offices again. (This time the post offices are also banks.)

I think there are three kinds of people right now.

1. People who've thought about and know what this regime has planned can only be called a concentration camp system.
2. Everyone else who'd rather just not think about it.
3. Jake Tapper.

Did they just hire the staff that was let go when Teen Vogue folded? I hope so.

I wanna know how many takes this took. You can see him fighting to keep from laughing his ass off
