My kid just read “Coraline”. After they told me what they thought, I felt like I had to tell them the author was a horrible person. Didn’t get into graphic details but they understood. Also mentioned real things JK Rowling said about trans people (my child has a trans friend). They were horrified.

Kid tells me that since none of them have phones, they have a shared Google doc on Google classroom and type messages to each other that way. Clever!!

Chatted with my HS friends last night, one mentioned she got shingles and it sucked. Couldn’t get the vaccine because she is not 50. Another mentioned she heard you can get it but have to buy the whole vial (10 doses). So we’re like “let’s do a reunion and all get our shingles vaccine!!!” 😂

Times are tough right now, but take a deep breath and enjoy this moment of pure joy. The Cycling Without Age movement allows people who can no longer ride an opportunity to feel the wind on their faces once again and, in this case, reconnect w/ dear friends.

Broke my record for cold biking today, to go vote! It was 7°F/-14°C. Super short ride to my polling place and I didn’t get cold. My previous record was 10°F. It’s all about the right gear.

“Fear in public spaces is a subjective feeling, but usually has an objective trigger and often arises from a collective experience.” I really appreciated this article-think that Seattle transit/public space advocates should give it a read. ht @theoverheadwire.bsky.social www.nzz.ch/english/in-s...

Literally the “what works clearinghouse” for researchers and policymakers to understand what works in education. This is not “government efficiency”.

The American Bar Association thinks some pretty serious illegaling is happening. “In the last 21 days, > a dozen lawsuits have been filed alleging that the administration’s actions violate the rule of law and are contrary to the Constitution or laws of the US. The list grows longer every day.”

Incredible editorial in the National Catholic Reporter. The headline doesn't capture how impeccably argued and supported the piece is, so go read it: www.ncronline.org/opinion/edit...

If you have been considering an ebike, this is a great guide to more affordable options. I realize it is still $$ but far cheaper than a car and can easily do 50% of people’s regular trips! open.substack.com/pub/bikeshop...

Coordinating schedules for a family of 5 is enough to make your head spin. As I was doing it today my kid said “if I had to do that I would be stressed”. Uh yeah!! 😜
