I managed to ride 5.4 mph on my fancy pants race bike crossing the 41st bridge westbound today which I think is a new slow speed record for me please clap

Having one of those work days where I don’t like the answers to these “is this ethical?” questions 1. Is it the truth? 2. Is it fair to all? 3. Is it free from harm? 4. Am I proud to do it?

I thought since I changed shifters my fit was off, but no, it was just cold outside and that’s why my glutes were mad.

Hey #bikesky does anyone have the hook up on bicycles for small riders in Miami? The public rental market mostly seems to start at 50, and 44-46 is what is actually comfortable for me. Might still just fly my bike down there, but that's also annoying.

GOOSE

Making everyone I work with, clients included, talk about Ricky Martin with me today

Remember everyone

when i call my mom she usually puts it on speaker so my dad can participate too except today i wanted to talk to my mom about perimenopause for 20 minutes

Humanity has always yearned to become Dentures

I surprise had like $400 more dollars in my FSA than I thought I did (we run Dec-Nov, so I get caught off guard every year) so I decided I should stop obsessing about it and just get the nicer watch to replace mine.

why do nerds suddenly appear every time I post here

because it's in pain

Being unfamiliar with pre-Middle English characters prevented me from understand 1100 or 1000 but taking one year of German and having a solid Early English Literature course in college got me pretty far. If you also like to nerd out about language, you won't find a finer way to spend your Sunday.

Riding my bike outside: why is it so good for me and why is it so hard to remember that when it’s below 50 degrees

finally someone made a helmet in a good colorway poc.com/en-us/produc...

4.5 years before I finally got to do a project for a Shakespeare Theater

#InvertebrateShitposting as per @joabaldwin.com's request

2026 basically

I should probably reread both Wuthering Heights and Jane Eyre to see if I feel any differently about them in my 30s but 20 year old me could not conceive of a world where anyone would like Wuthering Heights more than Jane Eyre

10/10 Galentines Day

endlessly annoyed that the features i want in watch upgrade are not available in the size that fits me best super hate how like all of the US outdoors and fitness industries just low key don't believe there are adults smaller than like 5'4"

several of my clients regularly host orchestras and yet none of them are doing the totoro sound track whyyyyyyy

It has been 0️⃣ days since I last wondered how Pablo Escobar’s cocaine hippos are doing

TIL there’s a UK touring cyclists Shakespeare theater company called “The Handlebards” Not an intersection of my interests I’d previously considered; my life is enriched

The best way to make sure my bike parts will arrive at the shop today is to wear my pj bottoms all day instead of putting on leaving the house pants before starting work.

i did the prep work for a week's worth of food containing vegetables please clap

Spending 2 hours in a room of people all committed to being the best version of themselves possible is a hell of a drug

My job is hiring 2 positions in the C Suite and honestly the fact that base pay is less than 2x mine (senior title) is really nice. Even less than 3x my entry level role starting salary 4 years ago. Leadership trying to not be evil is what has kept me here

#bikechi Y'all we all have like a million of these kinds of bottles hanging out. If you've got some you can donate, there's a need in Minneapolis and we're shipping.

Abolishing DHS entirely can only be the first step. We need amnesty for anyone already here plus real reform that doesn't lead to family separation, decades long waits for anyone who's not white or already a multimillionaire.

do you guys hear that bell tolling? wonder who it’s for. it’s so loud lmao

We’re within 18 months of the interviews with former ICE agents about how they deconstructed their racist beliefs and fled the cult

Milwaukee Ave southbound bike lanes are not great! If you don’t have a great deal of confidence and experience riding ice/snow/sand, I wouldn’t! I made it downtown safely from Avondale but there were a few very sketchy moments. Ice ruts are the worst of it. #bikechi

[PROBE FOR SPECIFICS]

it's incredible how if you put this entire dialog into the Left Behind series, it would basically work, but instead it's just IRL MN

Meanwhile, Chicago’s approach to active transportation:

2 of my biggest life improvements over the last year include keeping frozen leftover rice and oyster sauce in stock at all times, so easy to do lazy rice dinners whenever now

Timeline cleanse

An administration driven by greed, cruelty, and frankly a sort of empty-hearted boredom. The death of innocents so they can beat their chests and line their already fat wallets. Whatever comes next has to at least look like justice. We cannot just turn the page for the sake of one party’s comfort.

this is crazy and i don't actually believe anyone in the us government is going to hold this admin accountable for this and thinking about what that means is also terrifying

i like to leave chicago in FEB or MAR to make winter tolerable and one of the places that i could afford to go is lake titicaca which i've been giggling about since we first discussed the region in my junior year of college archaeology class

One of the hardest things for me to learn as an adult was to stop prying but it’s also made me a better friend

I feel like he should be holding his phone

Has anyone done this yet

yikes

Say it with me y'all sex segregation in sports is to protect mens feelings
