Happy 5786! We're gonna party like it's 5799!!

IT IS TIME.

The weather apps being mostly wrong lately, I got soaked through in the rain on the bike today. Luckily, I’m not made of sugar.

Map of green space in Balboa Park sacrificed to cars, including parking, freeways and roads shown in yellow. Does not include the significant amount of the remaining park space devoted to buildings, golf course or landfill. #sandiego #balboapark #safestreets

Even if they're not picked up, it felt good to send out poems to various presses today.

It’s impossible to ignore how everyone in the US is trapped in an abusive relationship with our own government.

Every driver is reckless.

If you think making the buses slower while introducing parking fees is a bone headed approach, @bikesd.bsky.social was quick to create an email template to send to the mayor. Just click the button on this page! www.bikesd.org/expand-the-b...

These may be the stupidest people who have ever lived.

Honk!

Never forget, a 13-year study found that protected bike-lanes led to a drastic decline in fatalities for all road users. ALL ROAD USERS. And painted bike-lanes? No safety improvement at all. For sharrows, it’s actually safer to NOT have them. Via @usa.streetsblog.org @nyc.streetsblog.org

Mass shooters since 2018 who were transgender, total of 4. Mass shooters since 2018 who were not transgender, total of more than 4,000. Transgender folks are 1.0% of the population and they make up less than 0.1% of the mass shooters.

The videos where my life is more clearly at stake get a lot more attention, but I still think ones like this are important for those who are trying to get around with the use of a car youtu.be/0vlZqOhdAUY

This is a hell of a letter. “The intentional eroding of trust in low-risk vaccines…will bring us to a pre-vaccine era where only the strong will survive and many if not all will suffer….Eugenics plays prominently in the rhetoric being generated…”

People who post stuff for sale and never respond to your attempts to buy should be banned from the internet and forced for the rest of their days to use the newspaper classified sections

"Papa Snoop, what did you mean when you said you got bitches in the living room getting it on, and they ain't leaving till 6 in the morning?"

yes, bike lanes to the beach in San Diego:

Typed up a draft poem that I'd written "Good one" beside, and am not sure I was telling the truth.

Regular commute by bike starts back up today. Those ten miles each way are calling, and saying the sweetest things to me

Bikes are good n fun and so very practical. If you hate bikes, you hate joy.

I'd buy in to Kodak adopting a co-op model of operation. Film needs to be accessible

“In Finland, the number of homeless people has fallen sharply. Those affected receive a small apartment & counselling with no preconditions. 4 out of 5 people affected make their way back into a stable life. And all this is CHEAPER than accepting homelessness.” It costs a lot less to house people.

Please pay no attention to the 13 new AI data centers we're building. Now get rid of your picture of the last time your mom held your baby before she died.

The US is running concentration camps. This era cannot end soon enough

If you're doing the Sealey Challenge, and need a poetry book to scarf down, consider picking up mine from my publisher (link here) or directly from me (link in bio!). www.fernwoodpress.com/2023/01/04/e...

I’m in the process of getting some glasses for the first time, and my love’s disdain for transition lenses is both deep and hilarious

Didn’t want to believe this was true. It’s true.

Man I wish more people were beating this drum. Because this is absolutely correct.

Building up a unit in my comp class where we'll be looking at McSweeney's and The Onion for a while. The Rhetoric of Humor is coming together...

"Situation Acknowledged. Will be addressed." First time Caltrans hasn't just blown off a safety complaint I sent in. Sent in a complaint about Uni Ave over the 163 after being reminded about it by a recent video from @adamdeutsch.com.

As @brooklynmarie.bsky.social often reminds us, borders are also meant to keep people in

I've been through two bureaucratic automated phone trees today, both of which hung up on me when I opted to speak to a person. What are we even doing here? Companies & departments bleeding my time to avoid providing the services I'm paying for. If you need me, I'll be on my lawn, shaking my fist

A fun reminder that a loss of 60,000 jobs in and around academia is ~50% more than all coal mining jobs in the entire country.

Does anyone know what kind of 35mm camera Bernadette Mayer was using in July of 1971 for Memory?

One of the bike shops used to have a few barstools for coffee. It wasn’t a cafe, just a bike spot with a coffee machine where folks chilled. We need to get back to places like that.

Elephants are born weighing 250 lbs. They are the biggest babies on earth except for motorists when they see a bike lane

If you work in higher ed, you need to get your folks together and end the use of course evals or at least bar their consideration in evaluation, promotion, and hiring. This needed to happen yesterday because they don't measure learning, they measure instructor gender, but now it's a snitch pool.

As “services” continue to integrate AI slop, we have to simply stop using them. I lived in the 90s and 00s before our contemporary connections, and we don’t need what we have. We can turn back, and be fine

This administration--and the entire post-9/11 era--cannot come to an end soon enough.

It’s healthy to know which presses to not even bother sending work to.

If you want to support public radio with a wonderful listen, The Roadhouse on KEXP yesterday was an awesome showcase of 1980s pre-grunge: kexp.org/shows/The-Ro...

I actually can and will judge people who are using environmentally devastating technology built on mass theft to create a fictional partner who does nothing but tell how great they are.
