Heck yeah! Thank you to Jason and other neighbors for advocating to repair them!

Ugh. Another local bike shop closed. Buying online or at huge stores does NOT replace the community and wonderful one-on-one conversations about bikes and biking.

Bogotá shows what action looks like. - 1,400 electric buses. - 560km of cycle lanes. - Solar cable cars to the mountains. - Clean air zones. - Urban forests. Air pollution down 24% in six years — with a growing population. This is what courage + policy can do!

The defining axis in 2026 is artificial vs authentic. People want younger leaders who know what they believe, can speak to real problems, & communicate like normal people. (I’m ignoring the irony of having to do message testing to prove this...) majoritydemocrats.substack.com/p/democrats-...

Here is my opening statement to the House Oversight and Government Reform Committee today.

That thing where I mention that I've just launched the #podcast I have been pulling together on my own for *many* months. :-) Welcome to #NameAndFame with #AndreaLearned 1st ep: my convo with my Living Change podcast producer, Maria. andrea-learned-climate-influence.ghost.io/stealthily-l...

"The advantages of plant-based milks are so overwhelming and so well-documented that it would be almost comical that anyone still consumes dairy — if the consequences weren’t so serious."

The influence of musicians matters, much more than we likely realize.

Is there a massive uptick in people trying to sell real estate in/move out of Florida? I don't pay close attention to such, but... it just does *not* seem like a welcoming environment in any way. Wow.

It is "known" that once you get a tattoo, it has only begun :-) My birthday is in March, so it's time for the second one. I'm guessing the image will not surprise most of you who have paid attention to my music source over the years. #MusicMatters #YouAreNotAlone #JoyAsAnActOfResistance

That's why I am so inspired by athletes like Jesse Diggins, the greatest XC skier in US history, who uses her voice to promote climate action. We need to do whatever we can to keep winter cold and snowy. 4/ @protectourwinters.bsky.social www.nbcolympics.com/news/olympia...

RE: RFK and meat - a really really good way to “stick it to the man” is to simply step back and choose to eat #lessmeat, if not go all the way #plantbased . (I have never looked back. ) The same for gas price alarm: consider riding a bike for short trips. Game changing way to “stick it”…again.

Needs to be in all caps, for its simplicity and effectiveness: CONVINCE VOTERS YOU’RE GOING TO FIGHT FOR THEM.

Affirm the good and the bad will vanish? On my ride to the coffee shop this morning, 3 drivers gave way to let me pass or cross at various points. I mean…!!! Celebrating the good! #bikes4all #joy

#WALeg House Finance Committee votes on the Millionaires Tax TODAY! There are a number of amendments to get through first however. Staff are currently briefing the Representatives on those.

Let me offer a slight rebuttal on climate politics, beginning with us (enviros and Dems) having done a terrible job on climate communication for a long time. A legacy of bad work is not reason to stop work, it’s reason to do better work. 🧵

Thought you might enjoy what ai am seeing right now. #dogsky

#Culture #Storytelling I always love the stories celebrating the "making of" "For Bentley, it’s a career-making and career-defining achievement. Reflecting on the film’s long journey on the cusp of its potential Oscar glory, he said it’s something that couldn’t have happened without this crew."

NEW: TRAIN DREAMS, Clint Bentley’s transcendent Washington film may fly high at the Oscars, but it began with an unexpectedly rough plane landing. This is the story of the little film that could which one producer called their APOCALYPSE NOW📽️ My piece @inlander.com: www.inlander.com/culture/trai...

For musicians (and other creators). #Influence "The music industry has spent a decade obsessing over how to get a million people to listen to a song once. The next decade will be defined by artists figuring out how to get 1,000 people to care forever." joelgouveia.substack.com?utm_source=n...

Here's your antidote, Jess. The book that this article is drawn from is even better. Gift link.

Rain now, but this morning’s ride to work was lovely

Guess which one of these roads had 3,853 school zone speeding violations in 2025 and which had 314. I bet you can. (4 and 5 lane road outside of limited-access highways are a scourge)

@davidsacerdote.bsky.social Thanks so much for your support and re-posts. I truly appreciate it.

If I lived in the #LA area, I'd be heading to this event with @jacobsoboroff.bsky.social . #ClimateInfluence #storytelling #democracy

@barnardstuart.bsky.social Thanks for subscribing! :-)

OK! Just posted for the first time on my new newsletter platform! No longer being on Substack feels like it is going to energize me creatively, I swear. So head to this one (hosted on @ghost.org ) if you may want to support my work. andrea-learned-climate-influence.ghost.io/im-on-a-new-...

I'm not sure I agree with the framing here about it being "all downhill" for e-bikes. Yes, it is clear that e-bike sales growth is no longer exponential. But 2025 was the 2nd highest sales year ever, up 6% over 2024, and up 272% from 2019.

There's a parallel there! I once interviewed a biologist for a climate piece. She seemed almost optimistic. I asked her why, and she basically said that she stayed very motivated to do the work because we know what needs to be done, and every part of it that we actually do will make a difference.

Highly recommend this @lloydalter.bsky.social piece on Baby Boomers aging out of driving, but continuing to drive - because that’s the car culture we’ve created. Lots of reasons to ramp up #lesscar and more transit transportation policies!

This is the YouTuber /channel you should know about if you are looking into building a YouTube presence. #Authenticity #AmandaHorvath www.youtube.com/watch?v=WNjl...

Here’s new and irrefutable evidence from the Epstein files that Howard Lutnick made false statements and was misleading about his interactions with Jeffrey Epstein. It hasn’t yet caused a storm. So please give it a read and share widely.

Do I have friends out there who are aiming to build a better online presence, especially using YouTube, and want to learn how to use AI in that venture? I just had a call with an amazing leader on this front who is doing research. Message me - and I will e-intro you.

This video walks through why a non-profit isn't always the best first step, why other, more flexible forms of organization are more effective right now, and how to better match the job to the right container for maximum impact, especially for local needs. Thanks for watching! youtu.be/C8qBPhSLg1Y

also noise pollution in the U.S. is almost entirely from cars and it’s literally giving people heart attacks I wrote an article about it because it’s so absurd

NEW: My podcast INTERVIEW with @sgoodyear.bsky.social from @thewaroncars.bsky.social is OUT NOW! We talk about the highlights of our recent tour of Vancouver city-building, & then get into a LOT more. Plus for 1st time, we talk about the creation of @urbantruth.bsky.social! Please LISTEN & SHARE!

Ugh - got the title wrong. Come See Me In The Good Light Here’s the IMDB info m.imdb.com/title/tt3496...

It feels to me like if a lot of us saw “Come See Me In The Light” - a documentary about the last year of poet Andrea Gibson’s life - it would change the world. Are you in? Life, being human, love, community etc. This is a great conversation about it. podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/w...

Here’s last night’s story about Twitter, how it went from bad to worse under Elon Musk, and the real reason why John won’t be tweeting in the future. Hint: it has something to do with his amazing feet. youtu.be/p7ZG_xWYLzI

Did you know that 1 in 16 jobs in California comes out of our community colleges. That’s why I’m on campuses across California talking with students about what this office can do — and why it matters.

#Ebikes are JOYFUL CAR REPLACERS. They are real transportation. We should be building protected bike lanes everywhere! 💙🚲💙

I keep thinking that those of us intentionally doing or developing #audioONLY podcasts - whether a chat/interview or solo episode format - can simply be a distinction. For those who want to watch people talking, you can steer clear of us.

Paying neighbors to take care of each other, what an idea.

It has occurred to me that the optimal level of marketing for my podcast Volts, upon which my family's entire income depends, might be higher than its current level of zero.
