So who’s coming to monster cross, any of y’all?

Hopefully I will need help with jock problems

Baltimore: if you have or know someone who has a little time and inclination: we need more folks to serve on the board of the last remaining conservatory in our city. We are a small and scrappy board and we need to build up our numbers to be more effective !

"This program is for high-school aged youth (14-18). Over 7 weeks, learn how to rebuild, repair, and customize a bicycle to meet your needs and your style. Then take it home."

What a disaster. I'm glad someone in this article said it - massive failures like this shouldn't always be the catalyst for more funding to repair infrastructure. www.cnn.com/2026/01/23/p...

Fascinating (and sad) read on how trails across the US are disappearing for a myriad of reasons.

Post a car picture you took

Back at the beginning of this program I was a volunteer docent for the hapless helpless adorable little plovers for a couple years. It seemed like maybe nothing could be done but we would at least try. And look it more or less worked! Sandoval did it and is doing it still! ucnrs.org/20-years-of-...

Interesting article on energy in Ireland - I lived there so long ago my Dublin apartment was heated with peat (air quality was crazy bad!) and it’s such a sense memory just to read this about it.

We are planning the Chinquapin Run Trail, a proposed 1.8-mile trail through Chinquapin Run Park that will connect to the Baltimore Greenway Trails Network. The trail is designed to support walking, biking, skating, and running, safely separated from traffic.

“Cut Cats, however, remains confident in its ability to provide a higher-quality delivery service compared to what can be done through apps or, increasingly, robots, its employees said. “‘We’re really good at it — like, stupid good at it … We do such a better job. It’s a no-brainer to me.’”

Snow ride with some of the BBWR folks in the park this morning

more and more i see people talking about how difficult it is to make friends as an adult. i have so many thoughts, but this piece expresses it better than i ever will: theshadowedarchive.substack.com/p/an-existen...

I asked the students in my AI engineering and policy for climate class: whenever they see "AI said" or "A LLM said" written somewhere, imagine it as "Microsoft Excel said". Don't be friends with Excel. Excel is not alive. Ask it for conditional formatting and pivot tables.

We should just start the call for circling back now, “see u in Jan”

Delegates from 190 countries are meeting in Belém, Brazil, for the 30th climate negotiations, or COP. A decade ago, in Paris, they agreed to take global heating seriously. But the world in which they are gathering today looks nothing like the one envisioned back then.

Are you involved in/or can you direct us towards best practice, learnings or approaches in dealing with the specific road safety challenges that neurodivergent young people face? Please reach out…I would love to talk to you…

As the leaves disappear from our trees, we can suddenly notice an abundance of what look like green shrubs growing in many trees. These are mistletoes, plants with an important role in our Christmas celebrations, but a far more important ecological role in forests all over the world.

The Baltimore Halloween Lantern Parade. Always a great event.

I am posting this in the hope my followers in Maryland and the surrounding area have knowledge of this car and its driver. Maryland woman killed in hit-and-run; police release suspect vehicle details

Fave bike back in the work parking

great opportunity to do something rewarding and meaningful and work with great people!

The best. I went into Harris Cyclery to pick up some tires for my commutecycle back in the day. I said something like, I just ride this one to work. For serious rides, I've got a racing bike. He looks me in the eyes and says "The most serious thing you can do with your bike is ride it to work."

You can declare yourself a Friend To All Bugs at any time. It does wonders for one's appreciation of nature and also eventually allows you to call on them in hours of need

🚶🏿‍🚶🚲Celebrating Community Connections🚲‍🚶🏻‍️🚶🏾‍ A new bridge along the Washington, Baltimore & Annapolis Trail serves as a link between Anne Arundel and Prince George’s counties. Our draft 6-year budget includes $240 million for bicycle and pedestrian projects.

That’s four scooters two folding bikes and two full sized bikes here in one car on MARC Penn 438 out of union @mta.maryland.gov . Couple of us tried to get on the earlier train number 536 and couldn’t get a spot, and we left folks on the platform for this train too. Crying out for more bike cars!

BREAKING More than 80% of the population of Tuvalu is seeking a landmark climate visa to live in Australia as rising seas lap at the shores the Pacific nation, official figures show

This is the truest thing I have ever seen. You cannot imagine how much the Romans would have lost their minds for excel. They literally already started writing our historical chronicles in synchronized columns *by hand*

any talk of AI friendship is inherently tragic, points at the incomprehensible well of loneliness from which all drink at some point in our lives, some so deeply that we get sick and stay sick, and it's Romper Room level basic to say "you're your own friend!" but Jesus you must know that & live it

A new sign was installed at a street I cross 4x daily for daycare drop-off. Somehow I don't think the city is behind this.

Starting in two hours!! Join me and @karenosborne.bsky.social for tonight's edition of Story Hour! www.storyhour2020.com @storyhour.bsky.social

How can it be the case that I bought a new modern frame and have the same problem this guy has? We just want nice steel frames with drop bars and rim brakes that work! This is robust, solved tech! (Does anyone have some discontinued silver tektro rx6 mini-v brakes lying around unused? Help.)

Maybe this is just rage bait at this point, but I find it Interesting that heating uses 4x the energy globally as cooling does, but authors of AC-shaming articles like this never call for people to just “tough it out” through the winter without heating their homes 🤔

Sooo DuckDuckGo is officially goated. WHAT?! You mean I don’t need to download complicated website blacklist plug-ins? I can just turn this shit off???

Here in Baltimore it is not uncommon for bike folks to take a selfie at the top of the steepest-ish hill in town, Bellemore Rd, after the climb. Commonly these are called “belfies” and after riding up for the first time in a while I learned that on the skyline it means something quite different! 🚵‍♀️

Been playing chicken with these evening thunderstorms for the last few weeks and finally lost. #AllWeatherBikeCommuter? #Baltimore

This is absolutely universal; totally global. Cities all over the world are either planning for this or are setting themselves up for disaster -- two prime examples are Copenhagen becoming a "sponge city" that can soak up water and Tokyo building a gargantuan underground reservoir

My latest, a @baltimorebeat.bsky.social exclusive: "Peabody Heights Brewery Launches First Food Truck, Building Toward a Full Bar."

New Orleans (1970), Philadelphia (1969), Los Angeles (1966), Baltimore (1965), Detroit (1964), and San Francisco (pre-1960) all recorded the fewest murders in at least 55 years through June this year.
