Imagine escaping the literal Nazis, making it to America, living three quarters of a century there making your life, and then this:

Just got home from @zerowasteemporium.bsky.social in #YYJ
Bulk unscented detergents, hand soaps, witch hazel, nut butters, rice, pasta, biodegradable dental floss, scrubbies! Plus lots more. Just what I purchased the last two weeks and it’s walkable from home. Bonus!

It's that time of year again:
Fellow cyclists, please calibrate your headlight as low beams rather than high beams and stop using your headlamp. Blinding oncoming traffic (cyclists, vehicles, and pedestrians) does not make anyone safer.

77% of youth in #yyj utilize the free youth bus pass program. We must protect this at all costs. Youth have already lost so much of the freedom that they would’ve had 20, 10, or even five years ago. our society has become so much more isolating and we must protect freedom of movement for youth.

You are absolutely right, there is no vision for this building and it's such an important historical resource.

So why don’t we just feed the dogs as if it’s standard time all the time. So what if it’s an hour earlier on our clock.

Today, please, take 10 minutes to find and amplify appeals for funds that will continue work in Jamaica to support pregnant families and newborns, babies and toddlers. And take another 5 and STOP the well-meaning folks in your community who are asking for infant formula donations. #IYCFESavesLives

New Study Shows How Paris Pedaled Its Way to a Cycling Revolution Cycling through central Paris meant weaving between buses and scootersβ€”a bold choice reserved for the fearless few.

β€œThe transformation is astonishing. [Paris] has quietlyβ€”& quicklyβ€”become one of the most bike-friendly cities in the world. What started as a series of emergency β€œcoronapistes” or pop-up bike lanes, built during the pandemic has evolved into a permanent bike network spanning hundreds of kilometres.”
