B. T. Night

ppl who still commission their favourite artists even in this era where everyone is broke and genAI is being pushed on us at every opportunity—you are appreciated more than words can express!!!

I had to try this on my fiance. He's now mad at me but it was hilarious.

This masterpiece.

“Walkable neighborhoods aren’t scary, they’re convenient.” Picture of a corner coffee shop in Brooklyn street and in a walkable community.

“Car dependency DOESN’T equal freedom. Mobility freedom comes from mobility choice.” Picture of a busy city arterial street filled with car congestion.

Yes, you SHOULD absolutely print off our ads as posters and put them up around your office, home, barber shop, coffee shop…

Book Paralysis: Occurs when wanting to read too many books; faced with the choice of starting a book you just bought or one you've owned for years and should get to, choosing one feels disrespectful to the other, so you end up not reading either one.

There's something oddly empowering these days about reading a book.

A screenshot of what looks like a tweet but I got it off Instagram saying, “don’t let my knowledge get in the way of your confidence.”

As a climate scientist I am quite sure I could use this reply at least two dozen times per week.

In California a law just took affect banning masks on law-enforcement, but who knows if they’ll actually honor it since the law now apparently is “ fuck you I do what I want”

Reading about all this from afar is … nuts. It seems to just be the way it is now, but why are there US federal agents trusted to do this yet aesthetically look no different from some guy who just bought a Halloween costume police vest and threw it on over a camo jacket?

This is true and I was the only one on set excited about it (and playing the song on my phone to blank stares)
