We really need something better than bike lanes.

They aren't wide enough, they aren't safe enough, they aren't good enough. Now that ebikes and electric motorcycles, electric scooters (two, three or four wheels), electric skateboards and monowheels are common, we need something better.

Even on a regular old acoustic bike, if you can hold 30kph you are moving far too fast for the standard, next-to-a-curb bike lane. People just don't think bikes can move that fast. But everything can, now.

Dream journal: at one of those perpetually-almost-going-out-of-business stores in the mall, bought an olive-green corduroy blazer and a black velvet blazer.

Upon waking, not sure whether I regret that I don't have them irl??

Also dreamt that I had to give shots to two cats I was taking care of, but I lost the info saying which cat should get which shot and was googling the cryptic labels on the syringes to see if I could figure out which was which.

dear diary, today while looking for a café I passed a trendy gender-neutral hair place and utterly, completely failed to go in

…I'll look at their website and make an appointment I guess

I did find a café and the coffee is good though :blobcoffee:

Hello Toronto - I'm giving a public talk there in 8 days. Want to hear me yell about satellites for an hour? Come say hi!

Well, a while ago I put a bunch of effort into making a minimalist install of Wordpress work with SQLite. Now that's over and I'm looking for an alternative.

OK, team, what blogging software do I want? I'd like a built-in editor, static site generation, generates/manages an RSS feed, doesn't refer to writing or art as "content" and isn't written or run by people who like playing footsies with the worst people in the world.

Sometimes you see the title of a new history book and can only nod to yourself in admiration.

anyone on here selling nice high-quality trans stickers, suitable for outdoor use?

blue-and-pink trans flag not necessary and, in fact, not preferred. i'm thinking like, pro-trans slogans, the ⚧ symbol, etc.

this shit is so funny

Are you serious, X Corp? Ahoy there, welcome to roblotwitter! I assure you, there's nothing fishy going on here, so feel free to read on. Yeah, it's a "honeypot". Sorry about that. I'm not trying to apologize and get away with it, though. But when you clicked on this link, you probably thought you were looking at something like "roblox.com". Simple URL substitution can cause this kind of thing to happen, so I made this site. So let's shout it out. "Are you serious, X Corp?"

Y'all I am so happy to have my own copy of the Odyssey which I can dog-ear as I wish. Perhaps even underline. Like I woke up happier than usual because of it.

Just raced through the boring bit (the Telemachy, books 1-4) and am now upon Ogygia, Calypso's island.
