Velotric e-bike in the South Tacoma Station bike locker
Since my new commute is door to door transit, minus the mile from my house to get to the Sounder station, I've started using the Bike Lock lockers for my end to end connection.
Can't beat $.05 an hour.
"Years ago, we tore up a nuclear peace deal w/Iran.
Months ago, we bombed Iran
& "obliterated" their nuke capabilities.
And now, we might just have to go to war with Iran
bc of their nuke capabilities."

Disappointingly, HB2095 didn't make it out of Senate committee yesterday. We need more driver accountability to keep people walking, biking, and rolling safe when they're getting around.
List of favors to the oil industry from the Trump administration.
Big Oil flooded Donald Trump’s campaign with cash.
Now, they’re getting billions in handouts from his administration.
Joining my first Protec17 union member meeting today on my lunch break at Metro.
As the daughter of a UPS driver and Teamster who was able to retire with dignity, I couldn't be more excited.
Some day, everyone will have always been against this.
It doesn't have to be this way. I will never understand why traffic violence is just accepted.
this is not behavior becoming of a FIFA Peace Prize recipient.
seriously. Reducing VMT through Congestion pricing and bike lanes is how you lower pollution levels.

tbh, high on my list of the 101 reasons I do not have kids is "listening to my own music and watching my own shows"
City: We unanimously declare a climate emergency! We must make change no matter what the cost, humanity's survival depends on it!
Community: Can we put in a protected bike lane to get more people cycling.
City: No, we'll lose parking spots.
Today is the kind of beautiful fall day to enjoy everything that is walkable about South Tacoma. To my fave People's Pilates instructor on STW and then Side Piece Kitchen off Pine.
Not quite ready to bike South Tacoma again after the close pass that knocked me over, but I'll get there!
Reason No. 454 to take the Sounder to Seattle:

I enjoyed co-chairing the joint Tacoma Bike/Pedestrian and Transportation Commission meeting last night. Two takeaways:
1) Tacoma's leaders *really* care about mobility + access
2) Our next Streets Initiative needs more outreach and better messaging (like "Build the Damn Sidewalks!")
Oh hey, it's Paul from @cascade.org talking about Cranksgiving on @fox13seattle.bsky.social! www.fox13seattle.com/video/1743614. See you all Saturday!
Mamdani's campaign is once again proof that Steve Phillips' "Brown is the New White" election guide is true --
When a candidate or campaign stands on their progressive principles instead of catering to white moderates, they increase turnout, and turnout is what wins against Big Money.
I love road trips. I dig Formula 1.
I LOATHE car commuting. It has robbed so much time from my life.
Transit is less stressful, less expensive, and I can listen to podcasts, music and audiobooks. Or just think.
I experience more of the city and more community when walking, biking or on transit.
In 2024, Washington state ranked 10th in the nation for voter turnout! Let's keep it going.
Text 3 friends and remind them to return their ballot to a dropbox by 8 p.m. tonight. #ElectionDay
"Mention women or gender and many men have the false assumption that they are not welcome. Let me be very clear for those men who are in doubt of their place in discussions about women and gender in urbanism: This is as much your issue as it is ours!"

"If we had a contingency fund."
You mean like this contingency fund the Trump Administration just deleted off their website? The one they are legally required to use to keep SNAP funded?

The depth of the shame of a country this wealthy and abundant allowing its people to go hungry is impossible to measure. The fact that a handful of people could fix this by paying their fair share of taxes while still remaining obscenely wealthy makes it even worse.
For the first time ever, I called a theater to ask if they have tools for someone with poor auditory processing. Shout out to 5th Ave Theater for having a script and a reading light I can check out.
Late neurodivergence diagnosed and so happy to understand (and finally ask) for what I need.
I lived with my dad when I was very young and he didn’t apply for food stamps or free school lunches, though we qualified.
So, I went hungry. It was awful. I begged neighbors for saltine crackers. I can say it was the worst time of my life.
Children shouldn’t go hungry. Restore SNAP benefits.
Yeah!! Hoosiers and journalists for justice!
Excited that my first action as the new Tacoma Bike and Pedestrian Advisory Board co-chair is to recommend Tacoma move forward with impact fees to fund transportation projects.
Many cities both larger and smaller than #Tacoma have long embraced impact fees to fill gaps -- it's time we join them.
happy bday Irish writer Oscar Wilde, b.1854.
“Be yourself; everyone else is already taken.”
“To live is the rarest thing in the world. Most people exist, that is all.”
“We are all in the gutter, but some of us are looking at the stars.”
This makes me so proud of the church I grew up in.
Last night at our annual fundraiser, we announced our new name: Tacoma On the Go. We're formalizing that we're working for safe mobility for all across Tacoma, not just downtown. So, so deeply appreciative of all the support as we head into our next era!
