Chasing the shiny bits in the dark. Punishing my legs for not being rocket packs. Passionate about density, transit, walkability, and cycling infrastructure. Recovered “avid cyclist”. Big YIMBY. Capitol Hill but I’m not cool and only have one tattoo.

Too many of Seattle’s politicians actually read and took to heart the books @ifbookspod.bsky.social covers, rather than laughing at them (which is, with some exceptions, the only correct response).

Azure AND AWS down?

Fuck this shit. Let’s go ride bikes.

You might need to rethink that…

Katie Wilson says she wants to make Seattle more bike friendly, but I asked her bike out on a date and it ignored me!

Every tech bro attempt at “reinventing” transportation is two brainstorms away from reinventing the bus.

One more after that and they’ll reinvent the train.

Would you consider a coalition with the Car-Centric Infrastructure Is the Root of Most of Our Problems Party?

The only morally valid choice Bruce Harrell has at this point is to drop out of the race.

What a sad, power hungry, small minded man.

Ah, yeah, that info isn’t something I recall anymore.

I can say that living there now car-free or car-light would be more of pain, as I’d have to walk ten+ minutes over to the 62.

I definitely think something like the non-x 26 should come back.

That’s a big transit hole.

Not an authority, but I regularly used the 26 from 2010 to 2018 between Tangletown and Downtown.

I can likely answer some questions on its route.

Looks like a teenager in 1997 who would get followed around a Kroger by security.

Except he’s a middle aged man. In 2025.

I can’t believe our fascist takeover is from such dorks.

If I was writing a satirical news story about a bunch of NIMBYs at a community design meeting, I wouldn’t write a character this rote.

Amazing that we let people with so little to say have so much power.

Drivers will never stop being takers unless we make them pay what car infrastructure actually costs.

I don’t abide body shaming of anyone, even fascists, but goddamn these dorks make the sticking to that principle hard.

Then it seems like they’re a terrible barrier to put on a bridge.

Drivers crash into shit constantly. Why would we not put something down that had the weight to not get pushed around so easily?

One of the all time great Saka ramblings.

Run volunteer work parties SDOT.

I live in an apartment. I do not own garden tools like shovels and rakes. I do not have a place to store them if I did own them.

This post is so incredibly SFH coded 😅 I would be happy to contribute my labor, but you need to supply the tools.

Which of the projects WABikes lists were introduced, spearheaded, advocated for, or enhanced in any way by Harrell?

Are we really giving him credit for NOT killing or watering down some projects?
