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.

Got some new ones, so here's a tour of my favorite bike stickers. No one asked, but you're welcome anyway.

the kimmel thing is bad but as long as they arent rounding people up indiscriminately based on race, building concentration camps and talking about eradicating those they deem sexual deviants, i think we’ll be ok

5 months, 500 miles.

Soapboxing about how RRFBs are inappropriate on state highways, featuring SR-7 on a Saturday morning and the Pierce County Climate Cohort.

One perk of biking across the desolate & loud ped bridge over I-5: you can scream sing along to Hayley Williams' Parachute as loud as you want and no one can hear you

Over the last three weeks, we interviewed all 10 Tacoma Mayor and Council candidates about transportation and mobility issues, and had them ride transit with us while doing it. It'll take a bit to get them edited and posted, but I'm excited to share those conversations with folks.

Annual policy bike ride, featuring Tacoma CMs Walker, Hines, and Rumbaugh. Grateful to everyone who came out, asked questions, shared their thoughts, and made new friends 🚴‍♀️

Truck bed the same height as our entire car

no offends if this is you but if you're thinking "this is going to make the right do fascism" they're already there. they blew up a boat with 11 people on it for being immigrants. they're kidnapping US citizens and trying to rendition them to Uganda. do you think we're on a trajectory to peace

Weird to be in a meeting pretending like half of us didn't watch a political assassination video right before getting on Teams

I love riding the bus so much.

Found this gem at a Value Village in Tacoma. Same one where I found a DOTG shirt a few years ago. Same person?? 👀

Drivers be like, but I don't want to carry my kayak

Did someone add my work email to the My Pillow mailing list because it is funny but also I'm getting like five emails a day

Millennial like

At a red light. Truck driver across the intersection decides to treat it like a stop sign, creeps forward then runs it. Driver in front of us decides "oh, guess we're doing this!" and runs it too, bizarrely throwing up their arms in exasperation as they choose to break the law.

At a stop light next to an oversized truck, the hood was nearly as tall as our entire Kia Niro. How is this legal for just anyone to drive.

Looking at street view and found my new favorite lonely curb cut, in South Tacoma (which has Tacoma's highest concentration of lonely curb cuts imo)

Sound Transit is in a tough spot. That said, there is a way to deliver long-awaited projects like Tacoma Dome Link Extension without additional delay. Pierce County residents have waited enough, and we deserve our turn. Tough decisions ahead must prioritize completing the spine.

Watched an eccentricly dressed older woman use her cane to investigate a pair of tights left on a bus stop bench, debate whether or not to sit, and then ultimately make her way down the street, swinging her cane at tree branches. Fascinating.

Pro-tip: Do not underestimate the effect of respecting people and their time nor underestimate the effect of not doing so.
