Think about your holiday/break plans. Across Minneapolis, too many of our neighbors will be holed up indoors (many with young kids) because it isn’t safe for them to go to work, shop for groceries, take their kids to the playground, shovel snow, etc. Check in with your neighbors. Help if you can.

The joy and freedom you see when children ride their bikes is powerful. The #BikeBus gives kids a safe, joyful way to get to school and arrive ready to learn. Donate today to help more children experience this kind of start to their day. BikeBusWorld.org/PumpUpTheBikeBus

I loved Princess Bride and Spinal Tap, but I had no idea that Rob Reiner was also such a major figure in marriage equality protections. Learned a lot from this thread 🧵

1/7 What you’re seeing about trans people today isn’t organic outrage. It’s an assembly line. Same phrases. Same moral framing. Same escalation. Different accounts. Same day. Once you see the pattern, the spell breaks. #Voices4Victory #DV1 #ProudBlue #USDemocracy 12/13/25 AM

As both a teacher and a parent, I see every day how challenging it can be for families to figure out how to give their children real freedom in the world. Again and again, the #BikeBus shows me that it is one of the best tools we have for scaffolding independence.

This exchange is wild. These people are clowns.

Perhaps a more appropriate question is: would you want someone to do this to you once you’re dead? I sure don’t. Please don’t ever do this to me. Death is a part of the human experience, and all of the grief and long that comes with it.

Plowed protected bike lanes show how transformative #PlowTheSidewalks could be. On streets like Milwaukee with plowed protected bike lanes, there is an alternative when a business shirks their legal & moral responsibilities after a snowfall.

Most discussions about “misinformation” treat the problem as if people simply don’t have good enough critical-thinking skills. It sounds intuitive, but it’s not entirely accurate. The problem isn’t just individual ignorance, it’s the structure of the information environment people are placed into.

End of an era for this bike + me. Had to pull over on my last ride to mark the 1700 miles 🎉 such a beautiful snowy ride for the occasion before it joins its new family. 10/10 would buy another @bunchbike.com

Was pretty sloppy on the side streets so once I hit the plowed bike lanes, I was so happy… until this. Someone *shoved* all of the sidewalk snow into the freshly plowed bike lanes. 😒 Astonishing. Might not look like much but this completely blocked my cargo bike (zoom in).

Beautiful night for a snowy bike ride. Look at that Minneapolis skyline. 😍

It's really frustrating that a lot of the media just sort of frames the Trump admin as "wading into a hot debate over trans issues that have roiled american politics" when it's like, clear that they are motivated by a desire to demean trans people

i took the kids sledding yesterday and even took a few runs down the hill myself and i just want you all to know that joy very much still exists, is still attainable, is still a thing worth seeking.

if you thought sports betting / fantasy sports was bad, wait until... (hint: players throwing matches and addiction is the least of concerns when you can have insider trading and political leaks that damage national interest and corporations!)

Prediction markets are good at distilling information and surfacing truth to people? This is a new consumer habit? 😳 And this tradeable asset is actually people disagreeing? So 2016-2025 but make it bets? 😳 And it will be bigger than the stock market? 😳

Minnesota friends and community 💜

community & belonging 😎✊

2300 in the last 10 years, but the vast majority in just the last three years. This is a targeted hate campaign for political gain.

1. Missouri prefiled bills are in, and the anti-trans panic continues. One even goes as far as to ban social transition in schools. Any teacher who "supports" it, including name changes, pronouns, or "treatment," would be fired. Even with parent permission! Subscribe to support our journalism.

People are surprised when I tell them there have been over 2300 anti-trans legislation introduced. Missouri is ground zero for these attacks. Many states copy/paste language. Sharing for awareness on the rabid aggression against trans people. Ask yourself, why are they so obsessed?

Good morning from Haarlem. #GoodMorningFromHaarlem

We keep pruning things off the #curl tree every once in a while. Here's what is next in line to get chopped: https://curl.se/dev/deprecate.html If you have opinions on any of those, speak up on the mailing list asap.

This is actually quite brilliant, up to and including the final sentence 🔥

Prime example of why if we don’t stand up for the most marginalized in society, the attacks will continue to erode more freedoms. 👉 “But perhaps even more worrying than one family's grasp at transphobic grift is how conservatives are using trans people to attack the university system nationwide.”

Winter makes our transportation priorities so obvious. Highway below: perfectly cleared. Road beside: almost perfectly cleared. Sidewalk: narrow, uncleared, with snow added to it from the plow that cleared the road (+ lots of footprints in the snow). www.ourstreetsmn.org/initiative/m...

This #Thanksgiving I am thankful for the 100s of #BikeBus leaders around the world, doing their best to bring joy & happiness to children in their community. The impact of this movement is larger than we could ever imagine. Thank you for showing up!! #thegreatestshowman

Indigenous actress Elaine Miles of "Northern Exposure" was detained by ICE at a Redmond bus stop. When she showed them her Tribal ID, they told her it was fake

Thank you to everyone who reshared and replied! It looks like each bike is making its way to new owners this weekend. 💜

This just blew my mind a bit

This is good! This is really good! Read this. Thanks, @dennycarter.bsky.social badfaithtimes.com/they-banned-...

Need a winter bike, Minneapolis? Yes, you do! Selling this one for $900 with winter stud tires and summer tires.

Best toy store! Shop here for your holiday toys! 🧸

Shopping for a cargo bike? I’m selling my Bunch (front loader) and Yuba Kombi E5 (long tail). $1100 each, comes with lotsa accessories ✨ ❄️🚴‍♀️ Minneapolis / St. Paul area

cannot explain to someone who never rode it before how much a deathtrap lowry was, this is yuge

Love the new protected bike lane in NE Minneapolis—in the last 15 years of living in this neighborhood, I never thought I’d see the day I’d bike Lowry Ave. Now we can! We need to imagine good things, because they can materialize with vision and hard work!

If you receive an illegal order, you have a duty to disobey. This isn’t controversial. A President calling for the execution of anyone who reminds service members of this oath is showing us why the duty to disobey illegal orders is so important in the first place.

Understanding another person’s experience is in our reach. I’ve read this book with my kids and they love this story. It’s made them more educated, respectful, and kind humans. Let us raise young humans to care about each other, and know that we don’t need to hate and fear differences.

happy transgender day of remembrance thank you for sticking around in the hardest of times. if you haven't, you are missed dearly please live 💜
