looking at the state of things. idk maybe it’s time for the matriarchy
“But the bigger problem is how much of the media of ‘the left’ is dominated by men who appear to have no understanding of sexual abuse or intimate partner violence, but do have a pretty hefty sexist streak that they either aren’t aware of or don’t care to remedy.” YES @juliedicaro.bsky.social

You go to that fancy Italian restaurant — and who’s in the kitchen? Latinos. You go to that fancy French restaurant — who’s in the kitchen? Latinos. Latinos grow it, pick it, clean it, cook it, serve it, and do the dishes. We are the backbone. Don’t fuck with us, we’re busy.
Yes! As we like to say, "Cars are the internet comments section of the real world." This kid knows what's up.
My 19yo just went "people in cars act like people online because they're both using armor" 😧
When I say KC is eating Indy’s lunch on housing, this is what I mean. This is far beyond the plywood five over ones in Indy. We’ve got to get serious.
Get out on a bike, find joy, wave to friends. What a May it’s been. 🚲
Some days the job is sitting at a desk. Other days the job is a 5-mile bike ride through the International Marketplace with a police escort and a crew of neighbors who care about what happens on the west side. I’ll take it 🚲 Grateful for work that lets me show up like this.

The newest season of IndyGo’s Emmy Award Winning Music in Transit is underway in Fountain Square! Stop by Hotboys May 1-3 and catch some local talent as they perform on a bus!
I have to explain this way more often than I would care to: IndyGo’s budget is separate from other city budgets, and cannot be diverted to other causes without returning funds to the federal government. Great clapback from Director Wilson. www.indystar.com/story/opinio...
IndyGo didn't steal pothole money. Voters approved transit funding. | Letters
By completion of the Blue Line, IndyGo will have paved more than 90 miles of Indy streets.

This was one of our liveliest panels of book tour so far. The vibes in the room were off the charts. With these people working in partnership across advocacy and politics, Columbus is poised for a lot of great things in the coming years.
