You know how people are always cracking wise about Nazis and Argentina? Guess what people are going to be saying about the US in another decade or two.

This certainly resonates.

I have a very funny audience that I can never make completely happy, but such is life for queer Christian clergy, I suppose - especially when you write about a mostly secular topic. Anyway, I wrote about what being queer and cycling have in common, inspired by the guy who called me a bitch earlier

Seriously, they've been extra annoying this week. This one tailgated me and others this morning until we let it pass. It drove at least from La Rabida up past Promontory Point trying to maintain 20 mph, despite the fact that it could have gotten on the trail closer to wherever it was headed.

Someone should start a Friends of the Lakefront Trail to fundraise and advocate for better management of this trail. I need another nonprofit in my life like I need a hole in the head, but maybe YOU are that someone?

Unsubscribing from campaign texts is my part time job.

Once mass spam texts were made legal, younger donors vanished, leaving a grassroots fundraising machine that subsists on squeezing vulnerable seniors, some of whom give hundreds of times a day. It’s a horrific model. Consultants get generationally wealthy, and the party hollows out its future.

I don't know who needs to hear this, but the south half of the lakefront trail is absolutely crawling with bloated work trucks this morning. Beware! #chilft #bikechi

This particular truck, which I am not even sure is a work truck, just about took me out around a blind corner. If you know this spot you know what I'm talking about.

It's too bad I'm not in Toronto right now, because I've just been emailed a boarding pass - with my name on it! - from there to Hanoi. People really need to be more careful to give out their correct email addresses when it matters.

Just got a misdirected flight reminder email for an itinerary to Hanoi that looks legit, but the booking reference is BLOWYJ 🤣

Trump: "I'm studying his body. I've never studied the body of a man before. It's not my thing. Nothing wrong with it, of course. But it's never been my thing. But I looked at his ass. I said, 'His ass, shit, it's like a pile of muscle.' Then I looked at his legs and I said, 'Man, his feet are big.'"

This appears to be the landing point for a fiber optic cable going underwater to Benton Harbor! bsky.app/profile/side...

Anyone know what is under construction next to the lakefront trail at about 2500S? Construction fencing went up yesterday, all trees inside it removed this morning. I fear it may be a parking lot expansion 🤢
