New raised crossing on School St

New tree bump out on School Street.

These new bumped out sidewalks on School Street around the large existing trees are such an improvement for all users. 🌳

My ride is 13 miles and I have a little post nasal drip and have a gritty throat, almost like a pollen allergy

Purple loosestrife, a tall plant with spikes of purple flowers

I don't care if purple loosestrife is invasive - there are a buzz-illion bees and flies and wasps, it is feeding the masses!

Yeah I was clearing my dry throat a lot. Will def have to mask up for the ride home in the afternoon :\

When the dappled sunlight is orange because of wildfire smoke 😬😷

Two cats sitting in a cat tower. Neely is on the bottom and he is orange and white. Blondie is on the top he is orange and has one eye. All three eyes are on the camera.

Two cats are playing with a cat toy that is a ball on a track that they can push around. Neely is orange and white and Blondie is an orange tabby. My knees are in the picture and we are all sitting on a maroon patterned rug

Two cats are laying down in the Sphinx position, facing each other with a kids book about Taylor Swift between them. Neely is on the left and is orange and white. Blondie is on the right and is an orange tabby.

Babysitting cats during an introduction is exhausting and stressful - these weird, adorable, complicated, hierarchical babies. One moment sniffing noses, the next hissing and swatting. I have to constantly remind myself it's all progress being made. And won't they be the cutest, bestest buddies?

Simple, satisfying 🤌

Shouldn't everyone in the halls of US DOT be a roadway safety advocate? 😩

Mockingbird - perhaps juvenile if brown, they are grey with white wing bands. And don't make an enemy of them, they recognize you and continue to hold the grudge

One day you should take the Amtrak Coast Starlight or Pacific Surfliner somewhere from there! Even the short trip between Santa Barbara and LA starts with some gorgeous coastal views

absolutely gorgeous!

Noooo Lemon Thai we love you

love those little blue "dayflowers" - such a bold blue! And speaking of blue, I prefer white hydrangeas - an apparently unpopular opinion 😅

I blame the busy expressway

That truck made good time then!

I am! West Somerville 🍦🚚🎶

Lol literally had the exact same experience - was making pancakes and heard the ice cream truck and thought of those three 😂 are we neighbors??

Not everyone knows how to or wants to be a gardener. Or they don't have the time (gardening is a leisure activity, a hobby). And people simply might not know that it is "up to them." The city did that name-your-catch basin thing, maybe they could do a name-your-bioswale to boost engagement?

"it's like someone murdered a pixie!"

Yeah it's been tough holding myself back from just downing the whole lot, a real test of wills 😂 It will outlive us all!

Three bottles of sloe gin are lined up on my table. The first one is Colonial Club and it cost six dollars, and someone drew scare quotes around the word gin. The other two bottles are from respected brands, Plymouth and Haymans.

😂🎤🎶 I got sloes in different area codes

This is a particularly shitty place to block the lane, too

Let's gooo Stubbs!

Tell a friend to tell a friend NO buying produce July 16,17 & 18th. #USA #Strike #KeepGoing #Cali #California

and the "lower" admins (of which I am one) hate having to be the bearers of stupid new policies that arise suddenly and without an obvious reason. For instance, PIs must now "justify" opening a position that they are funding on *their own* grant money, not university money. Just another time suck.

WOW.

I like! The pickle isn't too powerful in the beer, and when you bite the pickle you get some fizz ! 🤌

*Spiteful* longtermism - my fave!

AI companies should be forced to funnel huge amounts of money into rebate funds for heat pumps - it's still too expensive for most people to do a conversion with current rebates

Maybe people feel this way because AC [from window units] blasts hot air out of the house as part of cooling, it seems more immediately "worse" for the climate? Idk, this article is bad and has no point - she ends it with "aaaand I use my AC" *trombone*
