hey #bikechi, hmu if you want to buy my incredible @bikelaneuprising.bsky.social reflective jacket! it's too big (size L), and i'd rather hand it to a local than mail it back. pay what i did ($140) for a backordered size, a great deal!

Today, apparently, is National Potato Day in America, so if you’d like an absurdly long thread of root-vegetable-native-to-the-Americas content, you’ve come to the right place. We begin with the potato monument in Biesiekierz, Poland, because, well: look at it. Of course we do
