A friend recently told me I'd changed the way she drives after I shared with her the statistics referenced in this graphic.
Previously, she felt going 5 mph above the speed limit was no big deal. Now she knows better.
Hey folks who drive cars. Slow the F down. I know it’s easy to think you’re in your own world barreling along cranking tunes glancing at you phone. But stop it. There is a vulnerable world outside your windshield.

If beer business owners are suddenly feeling overwhelmed by the extra effort it takes to make sure they're not aligning their brands with bigots and abusers...imagine the sheer magnitude of labor marginalized industry employees have always done just to survive the workday.

Everything is political. Every business you participate in, every product you buy, every blog post you write, every craft beer you drink. Being a cis het white man just means that when you don't consider about how your actions affect the world, status quo still coddles you.

, this job posting turns my stomach. Unlike him, my experiences in the UK and US beer cultures have never been primarily "thoughtful and progressive." Which is one reason we need folks, particularly folks of privilege and influence, to call out this bullshit.
In a beer culture I consider to be thoughtful and progressive, acts of blatant sexism and toxic masculinity like this are reductive, and make it less accessible. Shame on you for the petty jokes (in a job ad no less)

My “hot” take is that there should be no school buses—instead, school transportation resources should go to robust fare-free public transit, bike buses, and walking buses.

Mystic, CT is amazing and would improve with:
- Less car traffic/dedicated car space
- Connected sidewalks—including to the train station/public beach!
- Micromobility lanes—more (e)bike rentals too, please
- More trains—bring back the 11pm to NHV!
Why we win with transit!
As I wrap up my first year representing the redrawn 41st district, my constituents in Mystic have made it clear: trains, sidewalks, and bike lanes over any new parking capacity!
This lesson can be applied to any of our historic villages and communities!

The U.S. is a craft beer leader in large part because Americans are willing to mess around with perfectly lovely beers on the off chance that doing so will turn into something new and wonderful. Our irreverence for traditional styles is both our strength and our weakness.

One of the best things about living in a dense, mixed-use urban neighbourhood is that there’s a good chance everything you need or want is close by… maybe even right downstairs on your block! What’s YOUR favourite thing that you have right downstairs or within a block or two?

This. Transit should be reliable.
But even if (and too often it's an "if") transit's reliable, some employers discriminate against people who can't/don't drive/own a car.
Hiring managers: Don't ask about/require car ownership/a license unless it's an essential job function.
all the "just take the bus" people are reminding me of how when I was in college, I was denied a job after the interviewer asked increasingly specific questions aimed at determining if I could work without relying on our local bus system

Recently, I’ve talked to a number of people who really want to let go of car ownership.
Anecdotally, the primary reasons they’d like to stop owning a car are:
-To save money
-Because they dislike driving
-Car ownership has a low return-on-investment for them
