In all the 250th hullabaloo, I forgot to share this! Talking to Henry was so much fun! 😃

Self-promotion: New @bostonbyfoot.bsky.social tour of Eliot Burying Ground in Roxbury's Nubian Square! Offered multiple times on Saturday August 22, 2026. bostonbyfoot.org/tours/eliot-...

benjaminsiegel.github.io/enough-is-en... I've just signed this open letter to @mayorwu.boston.gov to resume the many stalled Safe Streets Projects across the City. I'm shaken and devastated by the death of Louisa Gag, cyclist and safe streets advocate.

One way to commemorate Massachusetts Emancipation Day is with the Boston By Foot Slavery and Abolition in Massachusetts tour, tonight at 6pm. bostonbyfoot.org/tours/slaver...

My two favorite cities! To me they've always been clear siblings. www.bostonglobe.com/2026/06/26/l...

In honor of Boston’s new sister city, I'm drinking coffee from my Glasgow mug this morning! 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿☕️❤️

I went to a meeting at the new Franklin Cummings Tech building and got to park my bike at one of these adorable Ben Franklin themed bike racks! It was hard to choose between the spectacles or the kites. 🤓🪁

**BOSTON ACTION ALERT** please sign this petition and share with friends and neighbors to tell @bostoncitycouncil.bsky.social to end parking minimums with new construction We need homes for people not cars! @universalhub.com @berkie1.bsky.social petition.betterparkingforboston.org

As I rushed to get home with my kids before a thunderstorm blew in, my 7 year old calmed my scared 3 year old by assuring him: "Don't worry! You're MUCH more likely to get hit by a car than get hit by lightning!" 🫠🫠🫠

"What are you up to this weekend Matt? "Oh I'm helping out @wutrain.bsky.social who showed up at a safe streets event and had no idea where her @streets.boston.gov had removed all the bike lane separation even though there are hundreds of @311.boston.gov reports youtu.be/mUMLQ8zBmw8?...

This is the future I want for Boston. There are lots of ways to get around in a city that don't involve massive and highway designed SUVs and gargantuan gender-affirming pickup trucks #CarLiteBoston

Yes! This how we should all cross the street. 👋

The Onion, welcome to The War on Cars.

Join us on February 25 at 6:30 pm for our next free virtual program! “Evolution of Boston Buildings from the Inside Out” looks at the changing construction techniques of Boston’s houses, from the earliest colonial era to current times. Register: bostonbyfoot.org/tours/evolut... #virtualevents

Honoring Catherine O'Hara with a rewatch of A Mighty Wind. ❤️

Watching cars speed down cleared streets while watching pedestrians scramble over three foot high snow banks or having to walk in the street to avoid uncleared walkways has the War on Cars part of my brain very activated

Congestion pricing in NYC has worked and has become popular. Cities like Boston should follow. www.bostonglobe.com/2025/12/05/o...

you already kno sheeeeesh 🥳🎉🙏

Let's go, Boston! Vote! 🗳☑️ @wutrain.bsky.social @ruthzee.bsky.social

Yes!

The bike is serving me well! 🍺

Sadly this is so obvious (and appalling) analyzing the data isn't really necessary. All you have to do is looks at the road designs and lack of pedestrian infrastructure in these neighborhoods. mass.streetsblog.org/2025/07/01/a...

It was wonderful to celebrate with 41 new, committed, curious, and excited volunteers last week!

Our intrepid crew!

"Hey, why don't you want to use your new electric toothbrush?" 6yo: "It's too dramatic"

Had a blast at @icaboston.bsky.social on #BostonFamilyDays! We love museums and are happy to support them with membership and tickets purchases when we can, but this awesone program allows us and so many other families to explore so much more than we'd otherwise be able to.

Somehow my 6yo's new favorite song is none other than Tears for Fears's 'Everybody Wants to Rule the World.' He wants to listen to it on repeat at bedtime...and I'm totally into it! 👨‍🎤

Just bought this new (to me) bike! I love our long tail cargo bike, but I needed something lighter and smaller for commuting, and this fits the bill! 😃🚲

Greatly appreciate @hcrichardson.bsky.social 's thoughtful insights in my inbox every morning. Though her increasingly frequent references to the 1850s is growing concerning. Today's post drawing parallels to Anson Burlingame's 1856 speech "Defense of Massachusetts" gives me chills.

I'm still fired up after watching this hearing days ago! The Republican's plan totally backfired. Instead of getting skewered, our Mayor clearly, calmly and respectfully demonstrated just how stupid and absolutely full of shit they are. So proud of my Mayor and my City!! ❤️👊

😲 And yet, I can still only do the pleasantries.

Horrifying. And sadly, it is not surprising or even unusual.

Our next Virtual Program explores an historic Black women's organization in #Boston. Join Kalimah Redd Knight, President of The League of Women for Community Service on Thursday, Feb. 27 at 6:30 pm EST. Register: bostonbyfoot.org/tours/the-le... #virtualevent #blackhistory #womenshistory

Pretty close. 🤔

Boston next?

Imagine a Boston where kids are safe to move independently in the blocks around their school? #SchoolStreets #StreetsForPeople #CarLiteBoston @enriquepepen.bsky.social

Yes! Let's prioritize transit! 🚍🚦 www.bostonglobe.com/2025/01/30/m...

As a resident of an abutting neighborhood, I have my fair share of concerns about this project. Ultimately, though, I think it's an incredible opportunity to improve the stadium and the Park for all. I look forward to bringing my sons down the street to women's pro soccer games. chng.it/Y9Tqmq7S2q

I genuinely don't get the vitriol. We're all just trying to get where we're going. 🤷‍♀️ And fwiw, when I drive in Boston, the cyclists and bike lanes are the least of my concerns. There are far bigger issues with our infrastructure and traffic policies. www.bostonglobe.com/2024/12/12/o...

I was floored when I heard this program announced at the State of the City last year - as someone in the cultural field who depends on admissions, memberships, and philanthropy, I know how complicated this is. And how amazing it is for families and institutions alike! Thank you, Mayor Wu!

After a doctor's appt, my 5yo son asked me if boys are allowed to become doctors. Apparently he has only encountered female doctors. At first I was thrilled - a feminist win! But then again, what he is internalizing from this experience and all the girl empowerment media we give him.

The cat content on Blue Sky is 💯 😻

Old South Selfie. Feeling comforted by historical perspective.

I've been working at this for months, but I think I finally found a safe-ish cycling route from Roxbury to Beacon Hill!

Hi! 👋 New here and interested in connecting about #boston #historicpreservation #publichistory #urbandesign #activetranspo #walkability #walkablestreets and most of all, thoughtful conversation.
