Love to find a little caterpillar on me and place them gently to safety on a tree. You better not grow up to be a moth that eats my nice cotton clothes

"no home is complete without" i cannot comprehend the mindset of people that feel the need to always be equipped to harm

If we can't get Amtrak (and really their Class 1 hosts) to run long distance trains on time, at least we can drag the airlines down into the mud

The commute distance is doable by the manual bike but not in the time that was left :/

Nothing spoils a morning quite like realizing too late there’s a fault with the ebike

Bikes are *so* boojie that my social services office makes referrals for clients to get used bikes so our impoverished and disabled clients have slightly better mobility. Their alternative mobility around here mostly being taxis paid out-of-pocket

My Slate essay on why leftists should vote for the Democratic Presidential candidate this November, despite everything:

Call your rep today to encourage them to support AOC’s articles of impeachment. I will block anyone who tells me why they, personally, cannot and therefore why it’s pointless.

NEW: AOC introduces articles of impeachment against Justices Thomas and Alito for failure to disclose gifts and failure to recuse. Cosponsors: Lee, Tlaib, Watson Coleman, Ramirez, Frost, Omar, Bowman Thomas: ocasio-cortez.house.gov/sites/evo-su... Alito: ocasio-cortez.house.gov/sites/evo-su...

Called my rep (Watson Coleman), thanked her profusely for cosponsoring and thanked the aid for taking the message :)

My friends, it's come to pass. A play-through of Transport Fever 2 may have to be abandoned because I've mapped too bigly, modded too extensively. Again.
