I’ve done my time for city government.

On a green square with the title "Best Fiction I read in 2025" are five book covers: - The Wild Robot by Peter Brown cover features an illustration of a robot on a pile of rocks - Wild Dark Shore by Charlotte McConaghy cover is brown and orange moody waves - The Wedding People by Alison Espach cover has more waves with an arm giving a peace sign and another arm holding a bottle of bubbly - This is How You Lose the Time War by Amal El-Mohtar and Max Gladstone cover features a red cardinal and a reflected blue jay both kind of pixelated. - We All Want Impossible Things by Catherine Newman cover features a sofa can with a straw and daisy coming out of the opening

On a green square with the title "Best Fiction I read in 2025" are five book covers: - When Driving is Not an Option by Anna Leticia Zivarts cover features a hand drawn illustration of people waiting at a bus stop and a bus arriving - Doppelganger by Naomi Klein cover features a close up of Naomi's face distorted and pixelated - Active Hope by Joanna Macy and Chris Johnstone cover features the silhouette of a flying goose - Human nature by Kate Marvel cover features melting icy waves - Inclusive Transportation by Veronica O Davis cover features an illustration of people using an intersection in different ways

Wrapping up 2025 with my top reads!

Without a doubt the main themes are dealing with change & understanding humans, nature, tech and their intersections.

For today’s #LayoverLibrary, I’m reading ‘Inclusive Transportation’ by @veronicaodavis.bsky.social. The book is a must have for any planner or project manager, and offers a framework for better engaging with diverse communities in transportation projects.

TONIGHT’S new-ish book in the #UrbanismBookClub is an important one — “Inclusive Transportation: A Manifesto for Repairing Divided Communities” by @veronicaodavis.bsky.social via @islandpress.bsky.social (2023). Foreword by @tamikabutler.bsky.social, cover art by @martyn.bsky.social. Great read. 2/

I took @veronicaodavis.bsky.social’s advice and just finished ‘When Driving is Not an Option’ by @nondriver.bsky.social.

Honestly can’t recommend this book highly enough, especially if you work in/around transport.

Involuntary nondrivers need more recognition, voice & power in decision making.

Causing a fuss where ever I go! 🤣

I see you @veronicaodavis.bsky.social 👀💖

Late reply, but I didn't see anyone mention "Inclusive Transportation" by @veronicaodavis.bsky.social and had to right that.

The take away for me as things popped of you had 1 group (confederates) that was meeting and was organized. Everyone was falling in line. The union was struggling to respond. The number of conflicting messages sent through pony express created confusion.

HE SAID WHAT HE SAID!!!

First of all, Rep Green is about his business. Of all the project briefings I had to do with the Houston delegation, he made every one and he was always so kind! Second of all, THESE ARE NOT NORMAL TIMES. This is the energy we need.

I loved working for him.

BlueSky - Has anyone done a study on the walk speed of a teenager? Specifically, around high schools and especially if they are in groups?
