What would a TV ad promoting alternatives to driving look like? What if people who love cycling and progressive transportation reclaimed ideas like freedom, independence and even patriotism? We decided to give it a shot. Check out our new video, "America, It's Just Like Riding a Bike."

Every year when we get our first rain of the season in California I can’t help but think to myself, “THE CURSE IS LIFTED!”

This is an excellent thread. Really solid advice on growing gingers, definitely give it a read if you have any interest in feline gardening.

Monday Morning Vibes: Me, singing “🎵Conceal, Don’t Feel” to myself as I shove the doom box back into the closet after a weekend of telling myself I would sort through it and absolutely not doing that.

This is an amazing story. Houston criminalized feeding the homeless, Food not Bombs continued to do so, the city has ticketed them dozens of times and occasionally arrested members but hasn’t been able to get a single conviction. www.houstonchronicle.com/news/houston...

PSA: Being alarmed about climate change does not equal being an "alarmist." The state of our climate right now is *objectively* alarming. If you are *not* alarmed by it, you are not engaging with reality

Folks, celebrate your friends. I know you probably know this, but it's easy to forget. Take joy in their successes and cheer on their moments in the sun, and always let them know they make your life better. It matters.

US COVID SHOTS ARE FREE. Please do not let Walgreens and CVS mislead you or your family members or neighbors about this! They are the biggest part of the federal bridge (free shots for uninsured people) program, but the rollout’s logistics have been a little scattered and you may get pushback.

In Rhetoric, Zeugma is when you use a word to have two different meanings in the same sentence. From @clpolk.bsky.social’s book “Even Though I Knew The End”: “She stole a kiss and my cigarettes before heading out” “The bedsprings sang and Edith did too, because she was always a bit like music.”

Great to see all the new faces! Welcome to Bluesky, Newskies!♥ Here are a few rules we all follow here to keep things fun! 1) We call them "skeets!" 2) No dunking! 3) Block trolls, don't interact! 4) If the fresh milk has soured and the yearlings wither, you have sinned. Lash thyself in the barn.

I think it’s neat that the conversion ratio of km-to-miles is 1.61 km=1 mile. This is almost the Golden Ratio (1.618) which can be approximated by ratios of the Fibonacci Sequence (1,1,2,3,5,8,13,21,…) So that means that 3mi ~ 5 km 5mi ~ 8 km 8mi ~ 13 km Etc Maybe not useful, but neat!
