That’s Olympic gold medalist, World Champion, Caps Youth Hockey ambassador, AND Walter Cup Champion Hayley Scamurra to you.

My Dad to poor Floofy yesterday, on his 9th anniversary of coming home for foster: “has he gotten fat or has his fur exploded that boy needs a hair cut.” I died.

Anyway, I hope our elected leaders read this. Does the fact that we were 1 second away from two fatalities matter as a data point? Or does it only matter if that driver had successfully killed me and one of the 8 year olds you heard from this past Saturday?

I’m not a recreational cyclist. I don’t own spandex. I’m a mom with limited access to a private car to drive. And kids who need to be places. Sometimes bus works but today bus timing didn’t. So I biked …:

So respectfully, I do have a problem when leaders say “the data is just not there” to support making infrastructure safer. …

This won’t show up anywhere except in “near miss” data as soon as I stop shaking long enough to log it …

I’m not trying to be melodramatic but my husband nearly lost his wife and daughter. My other two kids almost lost their mom and baby sister. …

You can blame it on a crazy driver. But this happens when the road is designed - engineered - to allow it. …

The driver almost took out the other cyclist, me and an 8 year old. All members of this community and riding exactly where the “infrastructure” tells us to go. …

He narrowly missed me. And only because I’m a very alert and experienced rider now. Hypervigilant with my 8 yr old riding passenger behind me. …

No problems on the trail, in the dedicated bike lanes on the route. … But on a “sharrow” on Jamieson, a driver was so impatient following another cyclist in the oncoming lane that it pulled out and raced head on toward me at at least 45 mph. It felt more like 60. …

Owner of this account taking the mic to speak personally. A note on why we need infrastructure. I had to take kid to an appointment in old town. I didn’t have a car available. I took the safest route I could with my kid on the bike of my cargo bike.

Why would @justindotnet.bsky.social prop this bike in front of my house.

@sarahbagley.bsky.social for president.

So many good moments but man this rocked @josephfray.bsky.social @beckyhammer.bsky.social

Here is what I said today. Very similar to last time because I think the ballot box says a lot, especially when one group literally put up “Save Braddock Rd, Vote Fannon” signs.

More receipts from the 2024 primary. @oconnell.bsky.social we gotta work on your messaging bro.

That’s my mother poopin vice mayor

Omfg canon mention WHERE IS MY DAD WHEN WE NEED HIM

Raise your hand if you live off of Rosemont and support this.

WHO IS OUR NEW QUEEN WHO JUST SPOKE? Is Alex now our princess?

Very relevant today!!!

Guys 😭

I just rewatched Alyia’s video so you don’t have to: City staff -> 4 different appellants -> member of traffic and parking board -> public comments. Questions in between. Gonna be a long day.

Finishing speech -> hypergoat -> del pepp

I know a lot of you don’t like AI but it is really helping me dig up the receipts as we head into this morning. These candidates ran on this platform and this neighborhood supported this.

She hasn’t posted it here yet but for anyone wondering how today will go @alyia4alx.bsky.social outlined it in today’s video www.facebook.com/share/v/18q6...

Is anyone planning to track # of pro vs against like last time? Don’t want to duplicate work if someone else is planning to. See everyone soon!

Back where I belong.

I survived. Forgot to post my shirt Wednesday. Oops. Vibe coded an animal shelter management app because of course I did. Final prompt ask was to make it puppies and kittens and sunshine and rainbows. Meow meow.

Today we bike to work, tomorrow we save Braddock road!!! Wait… I think the Vegas air and the plane fumes confused me someone hit my reset button.

I legit squealed when I walked into the Lake Mead Visitor Center yesterday and saw this. There was a bike safety pamphlet right next to it. I told the nice guy working there that I know I’m the problem and we need to design roads better for people like me to drive better and he laughed and said yup

Captain just announced a temperature of 100 in Vegas. I’m not going to make it through the week am I?

Auntie ACO Jen is watching the cats while I am gone and when I say she is a queen and our ACOs are worth every penny we pay then I do not exaggerate. Prayers for Jen.

Vibes in the room are going to be important. Just trust me.

Lucky number 25 for next Saturday, where did everyone else land??? Overflow room party again???

Loving all the shout outs to dog moms lmao how about we just do pet moms? Like moms of other animals exist do y’all know how much money I have sunk into these two lemons? Give me my flowers I may as well have birthed them. Yes I am that pet parent, sue me.

I absolutely cannot wait to post the shirts I made for my presentation on Wednesday. Some of you guys are going to absolutely hate them and I cannot wait.

Was wondering why I got no response to my comment on this… it’s because they deleted it lmao. All I did was say that they had one flyer that looked like it fell off the the supporters had a pile clearly thrown in the trash this is hilarious.

Mayor Zeke got up there and yeeted the first pitch so fast that auntie Mallory did not get video I am so sorry. I have failed his adoring public.

Where can someone near Alexandria rent a surrey bike asking for a friend who has a lot of ideas and is heading into a campaign year 🧐

This show absolutely rocks.
