Heat is still on everybody! #blessed

Let’s stop fighting the wars! Boom! Solved!

CHICAGO WHEN

Making the most of the last day of CTA heat

Just got a text from my wife who is moving up from Texas soon. Apparently 3 separate people have effectively begged her to take them with her. Build more housing here for our internally displaced refugees.

I hate everything about the curfew and barring teens from public life, but a public park being closed to teenagers after 6pm is fucking insane

I get harassed the exact same way no matter what I do. Drivers *HATE IT* when I come to a complete stop at a stop sign and wait my turn. I’ve been called an asshole while riding legally WITH A SMALL CHILD on my bike.

if nothing else, there is something to be said for spending time outside in the sun with thousands of people who share your anger at the state of things

Third protest for this guy already 🙄

Royal Oak mentioned @yimbyoaklandcounty.bsky.social

Project Hail Mary is so good

Personally I have growing concerns about drivers who hit-and-run two teenagers, seems like a bigger issue than the scooters

Friendly reminder they are doing this *right on the new Grace greenway* so adding more cars onto this street will make it extra dangerous for families biking to the lakefront during the spring, summer, and fall. This section of the greenway is advisory meaning tiers are even more vulnerable.

HUGE NEWS. We have a state bill; SB3478 - SCA1. Under the bill, CMAP will develop a blueprint for a bike and pedestrian-prioritized street network including 450 miles of safe, slow streets in Chicago and surrounding communities. WE NEED YOU TO SUBMIT WITNESS SLIPS. ilga.gov/Senate/heari... (1/3)

Nephew: [My kid], do you take the school bus to school or does your mom drive you? My kid: I walk. Nephew: Do you really? You’re joking. Kid: I’m not. It’s two blocks! City kid blowing their suburban minds.

The sign says NO DOGS ALLOWED ON BEACH AT ANY TIME (this dog was not alone, their owner was following at a leisurely pace, allowing them to run up to any group on the beach)

This account is criminally underfollowed

I, too, am calling for people to cut oil demand. In addition to these ideas, also try demanding: -adequate funding for transit operations, -protected bike lanes, and -an end to freeway expansions.

I wish my coworkers knew that I’m blasting Midwest emo during basically every task

This would be amazing, but I won’t hold my breath

I did the damn thing (set up a WhatsApp group for the bike bus I want to start at my kid’s school)

transit employees are angels fr fr

Look at the pure joy I got to be part of at Park West last night. Live music is Good.

Line to vote is wrapped around the interior and outside the length of the storefront of the “supersite” at Adams and State

I'm at the primary election day. I'm at the St. Patrick's Day. I'm at the combination primary election/St. Patrick's Day

I called so you don’t have to: There will be a coat check for the Matt Berninger show at Park West tomorrow.

Turns out it’s not the rule-breaking but the daring to exist outside of a car that infuriates them

Chicagoans: still have your Vote By Mail ballot? You have until 7:00pm on Election Day (March 17) to return it to ANY of 52 Secure Drop Boxes across the city! To find the most convenient location for you, go to: chicagoelections.gov/voting/drop-... 🗳

Just saw a kid get tapped by an SUV in the crosswalk outside my child’s school. The driver accelerated after the car in front of her pulled thru and then couldn’t stop on the ice. The kid is OK. But goddamnit, drive for the conditions especially near a crosswalk full of children. I am livid.

Having biked home during their brief playoff run last fall, these Cubs fans absolutely suck at respecting bike lanes

Please clap: I just ordered sympathy flowers over the phone

My workplace is between the Lakefront Trail and Michigan Ave, and it’s the most harrowing two blocks of my bike commute.

I am so glad I don’t live in IL-09

Best of luck, Javier

me rush hour biking mic'd up:

lol just heard a parent at the playground say “how was your winter?” to another parent

Back to the document factory, this time with a new war in the background!

Anti-Suffragette postcard ca. 1910s Happy International Women's Day, bicycle friends!

Abolish ICE and daylight savings

Completely packed bus at 10:30pm. I love Chicago!

"Bicycling has done more to emancipate women than anything else." — Susan B. Anthony, 1896. Yet today, women only make up 40% of riders. This International Women’s Day, let’s push for ambitious and inclusive cycling policies that make our cities more equitable places for women and girls. #IWD

Parents from my child’s CPS apparently hold an “ever-popular” annual flip cup tournament at our neighborhood bar (for adults). I am obviously signing my husband up.

Going to this! Hope I bump into someone else from my kid’s school 🤞🏻

Walking my child home from school, we were nearly hit by a driver cruising into a crosswalk at a stop sign. I had to scream at him to get him to stop. He threw his hands up as if he had no idea we were there. It’s a fucking crosswalk, and you JUST drove by a school with kids all over the sidewalk.

Happy birthday Chicago! "Come and show me another city with lifted head singing so proud to be alive and coarse and strong and cunning."

But at least we’re all in the same boat

Does the airport PJ ban include sweatpants? Who is determining what’s pajamas? Just saying, everyone at MDW is in sweatsuits at this late hour.

Note the Mayor's office is saying it they will put in less bikes lanes if they're held accountable for the quality of existing lanes. Not the defense they think it is
