Ridiculous at any time, but especially at a time when our government has actual jackboots on the ground in our cities, and they aren’t building bike lanes and fixing streetlights.
"This is what the jackboots actually look like, people. We have seen the enemy, and it's right here at home."
This was a meeting about a mild transportation project to decrease speeding, improve lighting, and make an accessible barrier protected trail.
Or a totalitarian invasion? Hard to know.
Broke: I-5
Woke: Lid I-5
Woke 2: Depave I-5 and fill with a linear park and tens of thousands of housing units
Ha! I love it. Great solution.
Crossover SUVs only exist to exploit a loophole in U.S. auto regulations so automakers can make more money. Nobody would freely choose to design a car like this otherwise. There was a good Climate Town about this recently: www.youtube.com/watch?v=JPm4...
But for real, the "crossover" SUV is just such a hideous object.
Another sticker concept.
A bad charcoal drawing of a crossover SUV with written text "Your car is ugly."
Your car is ugly.
This was a sticker idea for the Seattle Bike Blog shop.
Squiggly hand-drawn bikes and bike parts with written text Bikes are hard to draw.

More meetings need bike yoga. @kellireef.bsky.social
I still have that document! An email from Gordon to Janine and me following our coalition summit at UW (...where Kelli led us in some yoga poses.)
The Seattle @streetsalliance.bsky.social is one of the most significant safe streets organizations to form in recent memory anywhere in the nation. Their bottom-up leadership model is powerful and could be adapted in many other places. It's empowering for volunteers and fun to start a local group.
I wrote not just about the name change but also about the history of the org and why it was called "Seattle Neighborhood Greenways" in the first place. Apparently the first internal document suggest a name change is from 2014!
Green and white logo with text on the side reading Rainier Valley Safe Streets
Green and white shield shaped logo with Mount Rainier & Lake Washington sticking out from the top as squares depicting road sign style abstractions of a light rail train, person biking, person using a wheelchair, and parent pedestrian holding a kid’s hand
Seattle Streets Alliance logo & title in green and white with a circle logo depicting silhouettes of people walking across a crosswalk, person riding a bicycle, and person using a wheelchair in front of houses, apartments, and trees
It’s official! We have changed our name to Rainier Valley Safe Streets as part of the rebranding of now Seattle Streets Alliance @sngreenways.bsky.social
This helps with past confusion (we don’t manage the city’s greenways program)
With a new name, our advocacy for safer streets for all continues
Seattle Neighborhood Greenways becomes the Seattle Streets Alliance

SDOT is trying to make it safer for people who bike AND drive on this corridor 😱
War is not some game. Our troops are not toy soldiers. Civilian casualties are not nothing.
NO BOOTS ON THE GROUND.
NO WAR WITH IRAN.
Fuck Pete Hegseth and Steven Miller and Donald Trump and all these violent fascist Republicans who think murdering people in our name and causing international instability makes them look manly and strong.
You do know your car engine is burning gasoline, and that burning oil releases toxic fumes, right? Everyone knows this, correct?
That’s a little extreme.
Backing up your car so your tailpipe is facing the Dick’s line and then keeping your engine running while you eat in your car is, like, serial killer behavior.
Map showing a line drawn on Highland Park Way SW between SW Holden and West Marginal Way SW
Tuned into a meeting tonight on the Highland Park Way SW bike connection, one of the flagship bike projects in the transportation levy.
Super frustrating to hear that SDOT is presenting 2 options, one of which ends the downhill-only bike lane way well before Marginal Way to maintain traffic flow.
Though it would probably get lost navigating the missing section in Lynnwood.
I’m glad it didn’t find the Interurban Trail or we’d all be toast.
Stop stealing other people’s work. You do not have my permission to publish this.

WSDOT finally has a plan to tackle the highway ramps that swirl around Seattle's next light rail station, a concept that includes the demolition of an off-ramp that mars a Seattle city park.
But transportation advocates are pushing the state to think bolder.
