Do *not* call it a "bicycle accident". Do not call it a "bike crash".
Johnny Gaudreau and his brother were struck and killed by the *driver* of an SUV.
Words matter.

It kind of blows my mind that we ever decided that smartphones were appropriate for kids and teens in schools.

my most old-fashioned opinion is that we should bring back markers of mourning - nowadays it feels like people can lose the most important person in the world to them & work will be like ‘you’ve had 2 days off we need you back & pretending everything’s fine’
