During Pride Month, Juneteenth, and now during the wake of the Supreme Court overturning Roe v. Wade, more corporations are speaking out than ever. But should they? I argue many should be quieter. us20.campaign-archive.com/?u…

Um...Screw this driver who didn't even get out of his car to check on this kid and his bike. Don't want you to be late for your meeting, sir.

Today a child biking at corner of Skillman & St Pauls was hit by a speeding car attempting to avoid the light at St Pauls & Kennedy. A split second difference could have led to worse. This is an emergency & @JerseyCity needs to treat it as such. @StevenFulop @mjmanzella225 🚨

Forced birth in a country that doesn’t have mandatory maternity leave or universal healthcare…

If this was about babies, there would be universal healthcare. Free education. Free daycare. Southern states would be doing all they can to drop the Black maternal mortality rate. This is about power and control

Great point. Culture is important, but so is a sustainable business model. To attract and retain the best employees, both are necessary.

Replying to @bgurley
Unfortunately, you can't "wish away" the fact that if your company isn't cash flow positive & capital is now expensive, you are living on borrowed time. "Culture" won't matter if your company isn't around. Sorry to say it, but these realities are ... realities. Hard to swallow.
You need some rest, even despite (or rather, because of) *gestures everywhere*. Grateful to @Sarcasticluther for the inspiration. us20.campaign-archive.com/?u…

Local small biz owner emails me and says he and employees bike to work at a local taqueria and now their customers are biking too and there aren’t enough bike rack spaces. Asked last week for more racks. This week he got more racks. That’s 👏🏼 how 👏🏼 you 👏🏼 encourage 👏🏼 cycling.

My kind of thread...

something i’ve never understood Americans don’t hesitate to spend money on all kinds of crazy shit that we love. and a lot of Americans claim to “love” cars and driving. so why does everyone hate paying for parking? like, where is the car supposed to go?

Flexposts better than nothing but that approach is oriented around something that *won’t really hurt cars* if they run over them. Every time I see a decapitated flexpost in a bike lane or bulb out, I pray no one died.

If an "experienced, lawful, defensive" cyclist like @DrTCombs doesn't feel safe cycling, I'm struggling to see where we go from here. Seriously, what do we tell new recreational or transportation cyclists?

🔥🔥🔥“Another reason we don’t see work environments scrutinized over burnout is that the United States, in particular, has tended to have a long history of worker exploitation. It is no mystery why a country, whose historical workforce…” — @DoctorJustin index.medium.com/self-care-i…

Self-Care is Not the Solution for Burnout

We need to address the systemic and cultural dimensions of burnout

That's a really good point. I was pleasantly surprised when they added this barrier for sidewalk access during construction and it does seem like a missed opportunity for protected bike lane as well. @movesafedurham Do you know if this was considered?

Meet Simon Flexner. According to John Barry, author of The Great Influenza: The Story of the Deadliest Pandemic in History, Simon was the black sheep of an immigrant family in Louisville, Kentucky. He quit school, was fired from multiple jobs, and ignored authority. 1/6

Flexner went on to be the first director of the Rockefeller Institute for Medical Research (now Rockefeller University) and contributed important research into polio and treatments for meningitis. And why? Because of curiosity and a dose of luck. 5/6
