When you wake up 5 am for a women’s ride and after all the preparing, you realize you have a flat when coming out of the door. #cycling

I know absolutely nothing about Lula except that i saw someone share a clip on insta of him in celebration kissing a trans woman politician on the cheek and oh my god is that a radical act for a politician in 2026 so lets fucking go

In Brazil, voting is obligatory except by elders. They lived thru dictatorship and they showed up today, for democracy. #brazilianElections

Going to ride my bike because election anxiety is killing me. Arizmendi person said I cannot come with my bike inside. That’s sad: no more slices before rides #sf #lula

The Trump regime’s funding cuts and politicization of science are causing many US researchers to leave the country and many more to leave science. This will have long-term consequences for science and humanity.

Hope common sense and the deep Canadian spirit prevails today against extreme right dressed as separatism in Alberta. It’s counterproductive to divide a country under attack, be smart, Alberta. #canada #alberta

Just gladiated against a flock of white man taking the entire sidewalk while women were forced to take the streets. What a scene. So I said loud enough: “amazing, we are men, we take the entire sidewalk, fantastic” Why am I always the one that needs to get out of my way, even when I’m limping. #tech

Tired. Elections. Tired Tired of hearing: why did she drink? Why they were not wearing a helmet? Quebec elections tomorrow. Hoping racists get less power than now.

Happens to many women that don’t have the resources to persecute. It happens close to you, you just don’t know how to see it or you explicitly avoid seeing it.

@aircanada.bsky.social baggage handlers are my favourite. Thank you for taking awesome care of Hilma af Hampsten. Btw, I added a sticker to my box that says: ‘Hey crush, don’t crush’. I hope the humour was appreciated #montreal2026 #bikes

There was a time when a bad life choice was to party too hard, now it’s timing caffeine intake. Both bring a lot of regrets the morning after, but I prefer the former.

Things I learned to neglect since early age: asthma, noises, romance. Asthma sometimes reminds me of the little girl that could have cried in the corner, had she allowed herself to do so. Nothing inhaler, earplugs and Simone de Beauvoir cannot fix.

On purpose, I didn’t read how to operate the Garmin computer because the #hci researcher in me wanted to see how intuitive the interface is. Mamma Mia, it’s awful. I’m so used to the intuitiveness of Apple design that this hurts. So much mental load, horrible ergonomics, ugly graphical interface.

Should I start a company doing bike computers? I’d have to sell AI with it to get funding. I guess the hardest part is offline routing. Hey Canada, what do you say?

The year is flying and I have so many places to be, books to read, km to ride, family to take care of. No pressure, but yeah. I’m doing alright. Time to recalibrate route, reset ETA.

I love where Canada is heading to: a community driven strength. BTW, I love the Bomboletta dolls. They are like no other. Give one to my niece. Will gift myself when one some day.

Hey #Nanaimo and #Gander - I want to do a special edition video for each of your community’s small businesses. Please send this to a business in your town which has been hit by the tariffs AND can ship their products. youtube.com/shorts/-p_pz...

My father, the worst person I know, came up with another pearl today: “I didn’t go to x’s funeral, they won’t go to mine.” He was being serious. And then people ask me how to I cope with bad people in tech, they are moot, compared to my father.

If people are tired of pro bike races like the Tour de France being decided even before it starts, maybe try following women's pro bike races, where the Tour de France Femmes has had a different winner each year since its launch. The race starts tomorrow! www.letourfemmes.fr/en/

Women's pro bike racing at an all-time high. Women's professional basketball at an all-time high. Pay equity for women in pro tennis, surfing and 26.2 racing. An assault on the 4-minute mile for women is looming. There are so many good things happening in women's sports and more that can be done.

Running shoes are the ugliest garment possible. I used to be cool and run on barefoot shoes, now I need to be gentle with baby nerves and weak calves. So, I’ll be wearing ugly as hell. I can still be cool though.

Reports of people queuing up to buy food on the stands following the Seattle shooting on a Food festival. It’s unthinkable to me to normalize this.

If you say so? Correlation? causation? Confounds?. If one’s muscles can keep the party on, there may be fun. What about pain? What about ability to even being able to start? Dangerous isolated claims.

A new study found that people with hip arthritis who participated in high-impact activities such as jogging and tennis were about half as likely to later have a hip replacement as those who didn’t do high-impact pursuits.

Never have I ever …. Thank goodness I don’t need to use windows or any of its tools.
