If you are going to have kids, be prepared to fold queen size bedsheets by yourself.

Harper Reading Room. UChicago looks beautiful in fall. It's the right season to visit and fall in love or renew your acquaintance with this campus.

Just biked home from work, time to do like three hub Nashville requests…

Unsubscribed from a company whose marketing includes sustainability and carbon offsets yet started using an “AI concierge” to text me every month about my order. 🙄

She’s not wrong

Text on sign: Hell Yeah I am STOKED about sunflowers. Thank you for planting them. Everyone pls be nice to them. They are going to be so pretty!!! Row of sunflower emoji

Sign within the sunflower laden traffic circle sign

One of my neighbors planted sunflowers in a traffic circle.

Another one of my neighbors added this sign.

I love Capitol Hill.

Is there a hub Nashville request to get a traffic light changed to whatever type can recognize cyclists and doesn’t need the weight of a car to change?

To be fair, Nashville wants none of this. The state is trying to force it on us

The baby seems to like it more because they get more wind/better view. She always seemed very tucked away like if they fell the shell would protect her arms and legs. @immortalcashew.bsky.social

No clue if there’s research or consensus. It’s definitely a different riding experience for where weight is and I could see how it maybe wouldn’t be as safe because the kid is so much higher off the ground but it seemed safe enough to me for my baby especially for rides just for fun on a greenway

Okay I kept saying Yeti seat but I meant this one… a.co/d/1aK1qPw

Do you happen to want ours? We haven’t used it in a couple of years and it’s just sitting in our shed. Ours is orange.

I probably wouldn’t have felt comfortable until a year with both for the trailer. Yeti seat was good for younger.

Now at 14 months she is big enough to sit in the UA next to her sister (almost 4) with a helmet on on the back bench (closest to the cyclist). We’ve also pulled her in a burley trailer with a helmet on at this point I think. @immortalcashew.bsky.social anything to add?

This was the smallest helmet we could find, fit a 9 month old. That was when we started biking with our first daughter in the yeti seat. With our second daughter, her first bike ride was at 3 months old in her car seat in the urban arrow www.amazon.com/dp/B09DKS2Q3...

It’s amazing! Going to go out and do yard work. I wish the humidity was lower but I’ll take it

I have been putting off mowing because of the heat. Maybe I’ll do it next weekend…

Excited for this!

I’m looking for the application form. Has it closed?

Yes, she’s great. She helped me get a slide repaired at Richland Park a couple of years ago!

That is amazing 🙌
I still have an open request on hub from over a month ago to clean it up from a storm in May and one from two months ago about potholes on the greenway so not getting my hopes up about something happening quickly but still good to know Brenda’s on the case

Every time it rains I have to put in a hub request here for them to clean up this greenway entrance. Super slippery and muddy for biking

We have the VW ID 4 with our two kids and love it. We were able to get the 7500 tax credit on it for being manufactured in the US (the final put together was in Chatt and that counted). That was a few years ago, not sure if that credit program is still around

No Accident

Every time a car is parked blocking the sidewalk, my three year old says “that car shouldn’t be there”

ICEblock, which allows users to alert others to the geographical location of ICE officers, is the top social networking app in the App Store right now after Karoline Leavitt condemned it from the podium yesterday.

Seems like a problem that the "city's lead East Bank planner" thinks transit and bike lanes CAUSE gridlock.

Where are you @freddieoconnell.bsky.social @nashvilledot.bsky.social?

I just have to say, as a historian of the Reconstruction-era Klan, that masked paramilitaries are very bad and masked vigilantes are even worse and there are causal links between the two and none of this is good for democracy.
