a velomobile; it's kind of hard to describe. It's basically a recumbent bicycle with a hardshell

As we hit the last day of Black history month-

A reminder that no matter your color, to please: look out and support your neighbor.

This is our government now.

We bombed an elementary school for girls for fucks sake.
