Once a year the universe requires me to trip stepping off my front stoop and sprain my ankle. Today was unfortunately that day.

It's a packed house at UW Tacoma for a Transit Town Hall, hosted by Transportation Choices Coalition. Sound Transit board members Ryan Mello and Kristina Walker will be chatting with Tacoma on the Go's Laura Svancarek tonight about ST3.

I'm sorry, what???

Me: My spouse... Them: Your husband. Me: ... My Spouse. Them: Yes, your husband. Me: SO MY SPOUSE... Them: OK, your husband. Literally why.

Looking at my to-do list I wrote like an hour ago and spent a good five minutes trying to figure out what "who is streets?" means. I make things really easy for my future self.

Other people using AI making my life harder? No way, what a shock.

Happy 65th, Steven. We miss you.

❤️💔

Unironically was asked "but is anyone thinking about safety for drivers" in a meeting this evening

I actually do not enjoy going to Zoo Tunes, but we missed The Beths in Seattle last year so I will take this opportunity for redemption.

SeaTac: How dare you forget to take your laptop out of your backpack! Sacramento: What are you doing?? Laptops stay in backpacks!

"One of the most important actions we can take to further mobility justice in this state is to get Pierce Transit’s buses running more often." New op-ed by @kirkhovenkotter.com of TCC and @lauraridesbuses.bsky.social of Tacoma On the Go in @theurbanist.org. www.theurbanist.org/2026/02/16/o...

How is it possibly only Tuesday

The chokehold that Hayley Williams has on me is unreal

Neighbors replaced their old truck with an oversized truck. Everytime they slam the doors closed it sets my dogs off cause it's so much louder. Cool!

Sorry if you've emailed me in the last month and a half. I don't reply to emails anymore. Maybe try again another time.

January 7th, got my first TWO Lauren emails of the year #blessed #newyearnewme #imlaurennow

Last NYE Rey got unjustly fired and I found out my friend had been murdered, so like. Anything's gotta be better than that. It was an awful way to end a really hard year, but 2025 has been a great year.

Today I learned (in a conversation with @staterepjuliareed.bsky.social about her new bill, HB 2095) that in Washington a driver is currently presumed liable for a collision if they strike a bridge, but not if they strike and harm someone walking on a sidewalk.

An artist drew a bunch of commenters from Tuesday's council meeting and genuinely this is so cool!!! Gunterjenn on IG, tons of these that really capture a long, busy meeting.

We should have better freedom of choice in transportation rather than being forced into the financial burden of car dependency.

When the new bike lane is protected:

I know I've got one of those "weird" last names but do me a favor and at least get it correct in writing ffs

Fatality collision on 705 last night. Weird amount of detail for this kind of article?

Tacoma Cranksgiving! Lincoln Park! Supporting Eloise Food Bank! Come ride with us!

Star Trek says trans rights (and trans subways)

Honored to join with @transpochoices.bsky.social, @moveredmond.org, Tacoma on the Go!, and so many other partners to urge Sound Transit to #BuildTheDamnTrains! We're a region that's united behind delivering the transit system that voters were promised as quickly as possible.

I biked on 96th once. Do not recommend. "Two males, one on a bicycle and another on a skateboard, were crossing from south to north in front of the Woodmark Apartments. According to witnesses, a vehicle sped up and hit them [...] The driver did not try to stop or slow down, witnesses said."

You never expect the "do you want another elderly snake" text, but it raises a good question. Do I want another elderly snake??

What a joy to celebrate Tacoma's bike community tonight with 2nd Cycle, and to share my bike story!

Biking in the fall like, bike lane? What bike lane?

Ego Death at a Bachelorette Party album of the year, hands down, 20 songs all of them perfect

SR 7 at 205th St, pedestrian killed by driver. This section between 204th and 208th has got to be one of th highest crash areas in the state, certainly in the county. WSDOT won't pay for the safe crossing improvements needed for the new transit center.

It's like, as soon as our events season calmed down I have a million coffee meetings every week. Was I just not talking to anybody for two months?

Best birthday ever

Finally having the PNW experience of unexpectedly seeing orcas. Happy birthday to me!!!

I can't believe that CMAT is opening for Florence but not at the Seattle show. Heartbreaking.

Unfortunately Lily Allen's new album slaps

Cancelled an event today due to heavy rain in the forecast. Jokes on me, it's not gonna rain during the event time. Ffs.

In September, we interviewed all 10 Tacoma City Council and Mayor candidates, on transit, about transportation issues. downtownonthego.com/about/news-e...

Had a blast at the @downtownonthego.bsky.social gala / new name reveal last night. Excited for @lauraridesbuses.bsky.social & Tacoma on the Go’s next chapter!

Last night at our annual fundraiser, we announced our new name: Tacoma On the Go. We're formalizing that we're working for safe mobility for all across Tacoma, not just downtown. So, so deeply appreciative of all the support as we head into our next era!

Pierce County Week Without Driving proclamation, notably missing local villain CM Cruver who hid on the side and refused to participate

Seattle sure was stunning last night

Thank you to Congresswoman Emily Randall for riding the bus with us today in Tacoma! 🚍

Why do people always come to my side of the office to loudly talk on their phones? Like, I'm literally right here working, I know you can see me, this is why they bought sound proof phone booths on the other side of the office???

Just 2 gun rights advocates sitting behind a wall of bulletproof glass while enjoying a memorial for a gun rights advocate who got murdered by a gun.
