dude POTs is no joke and very weird. i had never even HEARD of POTs til i was diagnosed. the symptom list is XXXL and now i play this new game called "is this bizarre sensation anxiety or is it POTs or maybe both or am i dying". its a humbling reminder to me that we are all "temporarily abled".

i know that there are more important things but naz reid was traded so please respect my privacy at this difficult time.

i pulled TWO ticks off of me after working in the yard in my south mpls home. TWO. TICKS. IN. THE. CITY.

if you've been following @lauragmitchell.com 's possum saga then you better buy a possum shirt. Opie is now an official @mcbl.bike ambassador.

happy fathers day to my mother, the best father i've ever known.

idk bout you, but im still sort of a big dummy when it comes to data centers. check out my sweetie, @jk9.bsky.social 's podcast Mill City Hall and this weeks ep on downtown data center convos happening in town.

@bikemn.bsky.social 's adult learn to ride program helps 100's of new bike riders gain confidence and freedom by learning how to bike - and then keeping a bike, helmet + lock of their own. this year we have a gap in our funding and could use your support! secure.everyaction.com/on6L9fy36E2f...

when people complain about ebikes going "fast" the first thing i point to is that (legal) ebikes have governors that limit the top speed assist. i like this. i wish all cars had them. also interlocks. also made you sign a doc that said 'im operating a machine that can kill' every time you drove.

ICE. isn't. gone. y'all.

spring, where minnesotans emerge from our dwellings, pale and puffy, like naked mole rats blinking into the sun.

protected bike lanes increase bicycle ridership something like 70%

so. many. people. cant. or. dont. drive. just my tiny glimpse into legislative work has shown me the staggering amount influence that car companies and highway lobbyists carry in our government.

there has been, and continues to be, so much need. i know we've all slowed down, but time for a lil wallet clean out:

one last touch before she left the mortal coil.

add this to the list of "things we rarely consider when we look at bike/pedability" placesjournal.org/article/the-...

The Disappearance of the Public BenchBenches are microcosms of an expansive debate about who belongs in urban public spaces. When they are removed or made uninviting, we lose more than just a place to rest.placesjournal.org

feel like shit on a sat night? simply sleep all day sun and mon, do the bare minimum on tues and weds, and by thurs you'll be ready for the work week!

this article by my colleague @eriknoonan.bsky.social is a thoughtful and pragmatic piece on the critical discourse revolving around ebikes and emotos. worth a read! www.startribune.com/ebike-motorc...

Opinion | E-bikes are not the menace the news would have us believe"[Janet Stotko's] story is real, devastating and deserved serious attention. What it didn’t deserve was to be mislabeled from the start — because the device that hit her was not an e-bike," Erik Noona...www.startribune.com
