Talks like this one with @eli.aadl.org @mollyak.bsky.social @jessicaletaw.bsky.social are why I'll be campaigning for Proposals A&B in the August special election: annarboraf.com/episode-79-n...

Peak Minneapolis: Two group rides meet at an intersection. Our ride (Queer History) is larger & our marshals hold the intersection for us. The two groups start shouting at each other: "Join our ride!" "No, you join *OUR* ride!" I shout at a friend (@furnwater.bsky.social) as we pass. 🚲❤️
