βΆ #TwitpicTuesday rescue of a no-smoking hotel room number 420. We giggled about it despite not being stoned.

β’ #TwitpicTuesday rescue: Kids playing on a bike-repair stand in Emeryville. From a great pizza place that closed down (#NoPizzaNoLife) but has sorta reopened in Berkeley.

β Today's #TwitpicTuesday rescue is my green shoe, worn on St. Patrick's Day 15 years ago. But this photo was really commentary on Fox News showing fake footage of "violent protests" -- something they still do to the #AbolishICE protests.

Closeup of two old restored folding bicycles, one is green (limonata) and the other is orange (aranciata). Both of them have matching Time's Up! stickers on their downtubes.
β’ Double #TwitpicTuesday rescue today. This photo was originally done with Instagram ("Brannan" filter, tilt-shift) before being rescued to Twitpic, and now I'm re-rescuing it from Twitpic to Bluesky.
Two of the bikes in my "Folding Bike Bloc" fleet in Brooklyn. #BikeNYC
Β€ Today's #TwitpicTuesday rescue was inspired by BART shutting down transbay service this weekend. It reminded me of the #bartstrike in 2013 where we had to schlep off to catch some buses (except the buses were on reduced Sunday schedules this time around).

Β¨ Today's #TwitpicTuesday rescue is a photo of the Emperor Norton Bay Bridge that I actually used as a "header photo" on various now-evil social media platforms. Maybe I could use it here someday, who knows?

Β¨ Not exactly a #TwitpicTuesday rescue, but still marking the 10th anniversary of the #FailQaeda #VanillaIS takeover of a bird sanctuary by heavily-armed #Cosplaytriot types.
The same variety of clown is now perpetrating (not resisting) tyranny in Minneapolis.

Β¨ This #TwitpicTuesday rescue is a photo of me taken by my sister. We were in Belize, shortly before the end of the 13th b'ak'tun on the Mayan Long Count calendar. She claims I'm "in tactical gear shooting a Canon" but I don't remember it being quite that dramatic.

Amelia's Elbo. Because before it was the Elbo Room, it was a lesbian bar named Amelia's, though that's been long forgotten by many people.
πΈ Today's #TwitpicTuesday rescue is from an old thread regarding the renaming of the Elbo Room to, um, the Valencia Room. Someone made a neon-ish name generator and various luminaries came up with ideas.

Mine namechecks Amelia's, a great lesbian bar:
β’ Today's #TwitpicTuesday rescue shows the ceiling of Over The Bar, in Pittsburgh, in 2010. Original tweet leads to all my tagged Over The Bar photos (which now includes this one). #BikePGH

β’ Tonight's #TwitpicTuesday rescue celebrates cars being kicked out of Prospect Park in the summer of 2017 (and then entirely in 2018), using a graphic I created in 2004.
This is a double rescue, since this originated on Meta and thence to what is now known as πitter

A "Liba 4ever" tattoo from 2013, in honor of the 4th anniversary of my favorite food truck.
β‘ Alas, Liba Falafel is gone, but tattoos are forever, right? (Another #TwitpicTuesday rescue.)

#TwitpicTuesday rescue of a screenshot of "End Critical Mass" trying to follow me on Twitter. (Back when Twitter was something I looked at on an secondhand iPod Touch.)
Spoiler Alert: #CriticalMass has not ended yet.

β This #TwitpicTuesday rescue is courtesy of former neighbors dumping stuff from their nursing years when moving out. At least breast pumps didn't have AI in those days, but they were still pretty creepy-looking.

βΆ Today's #TwitpicTuesday rescue is a screenshot, from BookFace, in which I claimed that I was risking life and limb to find a beer called "Life and Limb."
(I have a separate Flickr stream for screenshotted comments, it's this whole weird thing. Fun for me, though.)

πͺ§ #TwitpicTuesday rescue this week is a poster of a Roller Derby competition between a San Francisco team and a Brooklyn team. I had just moved (back) to San Francisco from Brooklyn and definitely felt conflicted ... about a sport I didn't even follow.

Bonus #TwitpicTuesday rescue, from when NextBus had a great logo but the hardware was getting outdated.

#TwitpicTuesday rescue of that time I got NextBus working for Brooklyn, on a little bitty iPod Touch display.

Book cover of Phyllis Schlafly's _A_Choice_Not_An_Echo_. With heavy GOP funding and forced-down-your-throat promotion, free copies of this book were distributed to college students to prop up a claim that it was a best-seller.
β Bonus #TwitpicTuesday photo for those of you who find it puzzling when the supposedly-liberal media promotes politically activist women who tell other women to stay home and submit to the wills of their husbands, because of God.
Just as political activist Phyllis Schlafly claimed she did.
A mobile sukkah on the back of a Worksman Trike, in Golden Gate Park. The people in front are holding a lulav and an etrog. A little Bike Friday folding bicycle is next to the worktrike.
β’ So 12 years ago it was Sukkot but this year the same day is Rosh Hashanah. My #TwitpicTuesday rescue today is the #PediSukkah from 12 years ago, but today it's a "Mitzvah Bike" for more all-purpose use. Shana Tova!
Β¨ Not exactly a #TwitpicTuesday rescue, since Bluesky has already archived at least a screenshot of the Tweeted Insta photo, but at least I got a twin looking my way in this one:

π ZOMG a decade ago this was exciting news that my favorite local microroasted coffee had made it to my hometown in limited quantities to be sold from a cart. Now it's just a NestlΓ© product (and a #TwitpicTuesday rescue).

β Another sunny Labor Day weekend, so I'm still conserving water. Today's #TwitpicTuesday rescue is what happened when I combine water conservation with that ol' #IceBucketChallenge.

β’ Today's #TwitpicTuesday rescue is of a newspaper clipping sent by my Mom, about a #BikePGH ride. Good thing I saved that, since the _Post-Gazette_ broke their old links to news articles.
(BikeFest has been discontinued, but the annual Pedal PGH ride is doing well!)
