I’m spent. This site has become a huge reflector of intolerance. I want to have the conversations, but this isn’t the place. Hit me up at blaine at tooktake dot com if you ever want to chat. In the meantime, I plan to spend more time in my garden. Be nice to one another.

My best skill on a bike? Definitely, the “oh shit, there’s a bee in my helmet” dismount.

Lots of time spent in the garden today = lots of seeds in the ground. Ok full moon - do your thing. 🌝🌱

I’d like to be a bird.

My wife just now - “I’m bummed, we only got to watch one spring classic together this year.” I married really well!! 🚴🏼‍♂️

I hope to, someday, look upon the world through the eyes of a mantis shrimp.

Love her. Treat her well.

My daughter is, with my full support, part of today’s @schoolwalkoutUS - @RoyBlunt - Speaking as one of your constituents, please be an adult and listen to what the kids have to say. It’s always the right time to do the right thing.

To all the students planning to be a part of tomorrow’s @schoolwalkoutUS - please know that there are a lot of parents and adults who stand with you and will do all we can to support you. You are powerful and you are loved.

So windy outside. Change is on the way.

Bike practice is hard. Long live the bikes.

I’m content with the life I live, but I gotta say, I’m pretty jealous of astronauts. How can you not be changed by that view?

Be kind to one another. Please.

Ok, I can’t keep it in any longer. Can we please NOT declare Jim Carrey the image maker of the resistance? I’m ok entertaining the fact that he’s rustling some feathers, but there are so many artists out there, making important images that need to be recognized.

Main takeaway from today’s #parisroubaix - I still get nervous making adjustments to my bike when it’s on a workstand.
