Nerd alert: we've been using a tool for a year and my ADHD people love it. I took a risk after trying lots of different things. It's building exec function skills. And I remind people of things so much less. And there's a giant calendar that I don't transfer to paper. -->

As child my Northern Irish granny used to think there was someone called “Rory Borealis” because the farm hands would talk about having “seen” him 😆

@jblainefoster Rural Midwest? We get a lot of that here in Oklahoma. I have a son named Seth and his name is two syllables to some here. “Say-eth”

We have to be willing to try. People want to like their neighbors. We are disconnected more than we’re divided. Being vulnerable and standing on someone’s front porch, extending a hand and inviting them to find the things you agree on — that’s a powerful moment of connection. /16

Got a new #bikebus kid today. @ACOGOK helmet incoming for her. And got the City to move a temporary construction barricade to allow us to safely ride. Feeling unstoppable. 😉

@cassidenaep @KamalaHarris Yes! Thinking about the Surgeon General's recent warning about parental stress. (I swim in ACEs/ Protective Factors all day for work.) By not investing in child & elder care supports, we're charting a course towards long-term health effects, further compounding the current issue!

@MichelleMagnus7 @KamalaHarris 100%. There are so many ppl feeling this struggle. We’ve been extremely stressed about how to handle everything when it’s time for more care. Theres no reason families and seniors should have to go through that extra stress. It’s hard enough.

Medicare covering home care for seniors is top notch policy that would impact our family greatly. My mom is on dialysis and of declining health. She can mostly live alone right now, but there will be a day when one of us will have to help care for her.

@cassidenaep @KamalaHarris We’ve just hit the point for needing home nursing during hospice and it is $30k/month where my inlaws live. We alternate workdays so we’re not paying childcare, but the sandwich is still real.

However, my siblings and I have jobs and small children. None of us could do it all. We also likely wouldn’t be able to afford any type of home care. It’s a great plan and one reason I’m proud to support @KamalaHarris.

Our DOTs don’t want to take responsibility. They want to believe they can prevent road deaths with a tweet or reliance on law enforcement, road users or, FFS, children. They cannot. They are culpable. Only our DOTs can build safe systems. Only they can prevent crash deaths.

Do you know what is cheap, ubiquitous, effective and ALWAYS educates and enforces? Cement. @USDOT can communicate with drivers via narrow lanes, chicanes, barriers and bollards. Instead, they send the vulnerable to their deaths and remind them to keep their heads on a swivel.

The automobile industry spends $20 *Billion* a year on advertising. About half ($10Bn) is devoted to ACTIVELY PROMOTING DANGEROUS DRIVING. That’s *without* the movie chase scenes. For perspective @NHTSAgov *entire* budget is ~$1Bn/year. We are bringing Canva to a gun fight.

You see, we recognized a LONG time ago (Massachusetts in the 1640s) that it was the COMMUNITY'S responsibility to bear the cost of educating its children. Why? Because even if you don't have kids in schools, you 100% benefit from having educated youth (5/16)

@Swilua Oh my brain omitted the “and literature” part of your comment. This would be overkill.

The study in which all my favorite things to discuss on the internet combine… religion, gender, governance, peacemaking, and… mobility/urban planning? 😬Also as a pacifist woman who bikes in religious Oklahoma, I have, shall we say, much anecdotal evidence to add to this!

My Roman Empire is all the centuries’ worth of beautiful documents destroyed in the Irish Public Record Office in the 1922 Four Courts fire

The Academy of American Poets has published this poem, and that is a very, very good thing.
