Kelly, Probably

Screengrab reads: "She knew gentrification was coming when she waw the bike lanes." Heard this in the Katrina Netflix series and its true. While I get excited about bike infrastructure talks, because its needed, folks get priced out fo the area.

Gentrification is what we call it when demand exceeds supply. It is not caused by bike lanes.

The answer is not to suppress demand by enshittifying cities, or to justify endangering & killing people outside of cars as a rent control mechanism, but to increase supply.

As someone who has lived my whole adult life in cities deemed “dangerous”—NYC, NOLA, and SF—I think a lot about how dense cities require patience, calm, and tolerance in the midst of social difference, which are of course exactly the civic virtues that the right resents being told to cultivate.

Didn’t want to believe this was true. It’s true.

The internet is not for being mean to people! It's for talking about how the sound of a car alarm locking is what bleeps the F word in the clean version of Ludacris's "Rollout"

Sourdough Toast Bread 🌈 the recipe I make about once a week and eat every morning for breakfast with peanut butter, hemp seed hearts, and raspberries on it

Thank you! That sounds so good. I'd love to get some good dark rye flour. And I'll happily share my recipe - it's a sticky dough though, not the easiest to work with but I love it

Things are not great in the world. Separately my weekly loaf of seeded sourdough toast bread turned out nice
