Just went to my first meeting of the
@kcmetrourbanists.bsky.social
I got to talk abt bus, bike, pedestrian & city council for a whole hour!!
And no-one’s eyes glazed over after 30 seconds but rather engaged with good questions and ways to build on what exists.

Screenshot from Down Dog Yoga app showing a list under "Account Settings" of "Other Apps," including a little blue icon of a white cartoon dog partaking in the various exercises listed next to each: Web Version (just a computer monitor), Pilates (Dog on its back, front paws behind its head and legs in the middle of a bicycle kick), Meditation (Dog seated upright with front paws gently resting on the knees of their back legs, crossed), HIIT (Dog standing upright and holding two dumbbell weights in its front paws, struggling to raise them), Barre (Dog standing upright, back legs wearing legwarmers, balanced on one back leg while the other kicks out behind it and front legs are raised gracefully in counterbalance), Prenatal Yoga (Dog seated upright, back legs crossed under it and front legs gently hold a puppy).
Some time around the 'demmy they expanded their classes beyond standard #Yoga to include #Pilates, #HIIT, #Barre, and more into the same subscription price (which, for me at least, is $23.99/yr). That's less than some people pay for a single class in Johnson County #JoCo #JoCoKS 🤭
Kansas may have primarily Republican representation at the local level but like all states, Kansas is not a monolith. There are people standing up for their communities everywhere. Find the people in your community. Build the bonds that make our communities strong.

#myfavoriteaccount When I retired 10(!) years ago, I started a pet care/dog walking business. At first I had so many accounts that it was almost like working full time. A few years ago I cut back & kept only 3. This is a pic of my favorite client. #myfavoriteclient #jocoks

Mrs Butterworth encounters an alligator #mrsbutterworth #rescuedog #jocoks This is NOT a real alligator.
Records show ex- #JoCoKS Sheriff’s election probe was driven by conspiracy theories ‘frivolous’ complaints, with the majority of calls and emails received from a handful of people with links to articles and podcasts about election conspiracy fears, not first-hand allegations

Johnson County Library posted this image to its Instagram this week in celebration of Corinth Library's 62nd birthday. The branch in #PrairieVillage is now the library system's oldest but it was brand new on Feb. 24, 1963 #Jocoks
