It’s a small thing, only a couple miles at a time, but picking up my daughter from school and riding to activities on our ebike instead of driving has been life changing. The world is significantly more fun on a bike.

Same.

I’ve cheered on the last four loudly and proudly. Would love to be in Liverpool for a derby someday. #LFC #EVELIV

Help students learn statistics! Although there is one question that is *not* meaningless and *does* have a correct answer: "True/Flase: People ticketed for speeding in school zones should lose their driver's license." [TRUE]

I think the Bay Area will always feel like my true home, but on days like today it’s pretty easy to love (West) Seattle. Walk by Easy Street Records and the RSD line to breakfast at Great American Diner, pick up an order for the school library from Pegasus Books, get a little gardening done…

What an incredible day at @woodlandparkzoo.bsky.social today! The animals were out and active in a way they rarely are. Please be aware of mischievous birds attempting to escape though when passing through the aviary doors.

@westseaurbanism.bsky.social friends, I’m seeing more and more fire hydrants blocked in our area and couldn’t help wondering if we could combine efforts with SFD to get bulb outs, mid-block crossings, and fire hydrant locations collocated. Traffic calming and fire safety in one!

I forgot to take one of @lynnbikesinalki.bsky.social’s Alki Healthy Street photos this evening, but my dad’s in town for the weekend so we walked the full length of it around to Richey Viewpoint before dinner. It really is outstanding.

My new job has started paying me, so I can proudly say I am now also a paying member of @theurbanist.org Keep up the great work!

Before this river becomes an ocean Before you throw my heart back on the floor Oh baby, I've reconsidered my foolish notion Well, I need someone to hold me But I'll wait for something more Yes, I gotta have faith Ooh, I gotta have faith

We need day-long bicycle rental locations, not just bicycle tours along the waterfront. The trail between the cruise terminal, Centennial Park, Myrtle Edwards Park, Olympic Sculpture Park, and further south is such a beautiful resource.

"I thought it was me as a doctor."

The clerks at Tower Records in San Mateo and The Record Man in Redwood City, CA were the first people to ever truly make me feel cool.

I’m not usually one to speak up for United but that seems like a really harsh red card. #MULEE

@seattledot.bsky.social and @mayorofseattle.bsky.social How do we make this permanent?!

Time to blast Doves. Happy Saturday.

3 points and a clean sheet is a thing of beauty. Glad to see Mo and Robbo playing well and cherishing those moments at Anfield while they can. They’ll both be back playing with the #LFC Legends some day. #YNWA

Mo with the 2nd! I told you something felt different about today. 🇪🇬 👑 #LFC #LIVFUL

What a fucking goal

Rio!!! You beautiful little maestro. What a stunner.

Cross from Rio to Mo really good there. Come on, lads. It’s time to find the back of the net. #LFC #LIVFUL

Happy match day, Reds! Call me crazy, but I woke up with hope about today. Plus my daughter’s joined me on the couch for this one. #LFC #LIVFUL #YNWA

"Western Civilization" is the most successful moving goalpost in history. Depending on the century, it’s been a defense of pagan philosophy, a mandate for Christian empire, or a justification for global extraction. We are currently living through its most narrow, "Anglosphere" iteration. 🧵

I misread “motives” as “mothers” and I honestly think either is appropriate.

This is not okay. I’m glad I installed and buried drip irrigation for so many of my plants.

Unfortunately, the new job pulled me away at halftime. Do I want to see what happens next? #LFC #PSGLIV

That pass from Flo was beautiful. Frimpong needs to make the keeper work harder for it, even if he did get caught offside. #LFC #PSGLIV

Hanging onto this one forever.

I’ve never understood why so many nonbelievers love Easter, but perhaps that’s because we get rubbish like Peeps while the UK gets these. *credit @ajynwa97.bsky.social and @ricrus77.bsky.social

Serviceberries in bloom is one of my absolute favorite things about spring in the PNW. Their florescence is so brief but beautiful. #nativeplants

How is Martinelli still allowed in the Premier League? #SOUARS #FACup

Best Star Trek crew, wrong answers only

Francophone dad joke!

This moment of family joy brought to you by Active Mobility.

Wear pink proudly, and let’s Build West Seattle Light Rail! Thank you @cmtmosqueda.bsky.social, @mayorofseattle.bsky.social, & @sound-transit.bsky.social for such a great presentation and forum. So many ideas and questions continue to come up for me. I can’t wait to talk with your teams more.

"we should encourage mobility and socio-economic integration" is a sadly unpopular view these days

If we want better streetscapes, more livable units, and more tree canopy in Low Rise, lean into 'perimeter blocks' with interior courtyards. Push new buildings to the front for full width of lot, allow a little extra building area, and limit how much can be built in the backyard.

There is no other coach/manager like Jürgen, in any sport. I love this man. #LFC

Little kids asking “What Pokémon are they?” while waiting to take pictures with all the amazing furries in Judkins Park was my favorite part of the day. You all brought so much joy by being kind and just being yourselves. Plus I love #furriesliketorail

Omg! Huge shoutout to San Francisco, CA! Ocean Beach, you crushed it! 🌊

Under acknowledged part of 90’s nostalgia.

Seattle Transit Tourism friends, If you can find it, Symphony Station is 💯 where you want to get on the 2 to go across the lake. CID is packed!

@sound-transit.bsky.social, @seattledot.bsky.social & @mayorofseattle.bsky.social Why is Symphony Station still so hidden? Transferring at 3rd & Seneca (such a disappointing transit stop downtown) there is almost zero signage telling visitors there’s a Link station there.

The players who have made the most appearances alongside Mohamed Salah throughout his career. They form a perfect starting XI of his former and current Liverpool teammates. #LFC

These are my favorite kind of city department threads. 🧵 Show the people what’s actually getting done.

The “most seasoned cyclist in of Highland Park” sounds like a eugenicist. Not only is 40 or 50 mph above the speed limit, but it’s physically unsafe for the vast majority of people who might wish to cycle instead of driving.

Completely selfish ST3 proposal: Finish Link between West Seattle and Tacoma so I don’t have to drive for my new job. Everything else can wait.

As each arrived, it just got more exciting. You couldn’t help but feel they were building up to something amazing. I will cherish the time we had with these three together forever. #LFC #YNWA

There are simply not enough superlatives to describe how great it has been to be a Liverpool fan while Mo Salah has been a Red. #LFC #YNWA

I never thought anyone could surpass Stevie for me but Mo Salah, our Egyptian king 👑, got straight to my heart with his infectious smile and has stayed right there season after season. Neil’s written something beautiful here that says more than I could. I’ve got chills. Build the statue!
