Board President @bscactionfund.org The real infrastructure is the friends we make along the way. Free Palestine. She/Her. ✶✶✶✶

It’s important to understand that when 1.2 million Americans are dying from a disease, any government action is excessive and tyrannical, but if a dozen trans women want to play soccer no government action can go far enough

You do not engage in these kinds of actions to change the world overnight. You do it to change one person's world, over and over, until eventually, the tide is too much and the world must change.

We've had a number of older pedestrians and cyclists killed by drivers recently in Massachusetts, and something I've noticed is how those deaths are treated even more dismissively than usual because of ageism and ableism. People of *all* ages and abilities deserve safe mobility.

We are proud to support the 23rd annual Disability Pride Parade! Our agency's mission is to deliver quality, affordable transit services that link people, jobs and communities. We're committed to making our system 100% accessible to accomplish this mission.

These cops at the 57th Street underpass were still there nearly six hours later when I passed through, and I was forced to open my bag full of groceries for an inspection before I could bike home.

Very crooked photo. Looking over a metal railing towards a grassy area where you can count at least seven cop SUVs parked on the grass next to Lake Michigan with cops milling around pointlessly.

Woke up in a panic thinking the commotion on the back steps was the construction crew coming up and down a day early. Turns out it was the neighbor's golden retriever on an adventure.

No other way to do trash collection along the lakefront trail than with a full size garbage truck. And this is not to shame the driver, who was almost certainly assigned the route and the equipment.

Fun fact: While Jews made up less than 1% of the population of Argentina, they comprised up to 12% of those disappeared during the Dirty War, due to the antisemitism of the right-wing junta and the association of Jews with leftism. More Jews were killed in the Argentine Dirty War than on 10/7/2023.

Yes, Argentina, that country that has famously never dabbled in antisemitism, unlike Spain. Just don't ask the people in Javier Milei's government where all of their ancestors came from and why.

Tweet from Arsen Ostrovsky: "For those asking who I’m backing in the World Cup Final: Argentina! Easy choice. And not just because of Messi. One country has stood unequivocally with Israel. The other, Spain, is governed by a sewer of unrestrained antisemitism and appeasement of terror! Vamos, Argentina! 🇦🇷🇮🇱"

Went outside after they started handing out medals to clean some patio furniture. I sure hope the president didn't find new ways to embarrass this country and spoil the mood of hard working athletes during their moment of joy and celebration.
