I am just having trouble getting through each day with how horrible this all is.

And I am driving a ton more than I ever have the whole time I’ve lived in this city.

I have to sit down and make a really good plan about what can live at the other address.

I’m basically living at two addresses these days and I am not doing it well. Everytime I have to go back and forth it’s such an ordeal. I can’t imagine being a kid that has to do this every week.

Tear gas is a chemical weapon, @govpritzker.illinois.gov. The Chemical Weapons Convention of 1993 allows for its use in riot control. Is heckling ICE from the sidewalk as they drive by now "rioting"? Why are the Illinois State Police protecting ICE as they break the law?

If we have a next president I feel sorry for all the work they are going to have to do to undo this mess.

I do NOT like the score on this season of the Morning Show. It would be so much better without it. The score is so cheesy.

The tl;dr: here is that we need options within the public system, curriculum and programs aren't inequitable but the way students get assigned to them often is, that's what needs to be fixed -- and the solution is to tax the rich to pay for amazing public schools for every child. /end

The policy change is bad, but the actual justifications provided by SDOT here are more worrying to me.

I was just as shocked with the news about the route 2 bus only lane as you. We are working on it. We need to prioritize pedestrian safety and not go backwards on our transit investments.

A reader sends this example of a single crypto douchebag dumping gigantic sums of money into modest little city council races in Woodinville, WA. Why? To kill their move toward more, denser housing.

Absolute piece of shit.

Today I’m meeting up with my partner since 2002 and signing the final papers for our divorce. There’s been a 90 day waiting period from the first papers to these second papers. Even with all the years separated, and the confidence in this decision, there’s still a lot of complicated feelings.

Favor/request: Can anyone share good guidance on a website or in a document on making transit apps accessible and easy for screenreaders? I'm also looking for examples of local transit agency apps that do it well. Particularly for schedules. TIA! 🙏 #Transit #WeekWithoutDriving

To clarify: I'm looking for transit agency apps that do a good job with accessibility, particularly for low-vision or blind folks who use screenreaders or similar tools. Not, for example, just a pdf or static jpeg without alt text.

This is something I’ve been working on for the last 2.5 years at my job. Also something Sound Transit has been working on with their new trip planner. I have lots to say about this topic. Reach out on LinkedIn and we should meet for about 30 minutes on this. Anthro-Tech has been helpful!
