  @ai6yr@m.ai6yr.org Learning new things is a sign of someone willing to grow! Never worry about being “clueless”. We all are about many things until we aren’t 😀❤️

  RE: https://social.notjustbikes.com/@notjustbikes/116930425123854885 I’ve come to *love* Jason Slaughter’s take-no-prisoners approach to advocating for cities that are human-focused rather than car-focused. This video of his is yet another that shows what can happen when caring about people is a priority. #Urbanism

  Meanwhile, the former Governor of the Bank of England, who is currently Prime Minister of Canada, wants to build more fossil fuel pipelines. Mark Carney is failing us all, acting as a shill for the oil and gas industry. https://www.theguardian.com/business/2026/jul/19/bank-of-england-bonds-coal-loans-assets #CanPoli #ClimateCrisis

  This weekend it’s the Ribfest & Craft Beer show at Victoria Park in Kitchener. Did you know that the City of Kitchener is running their Bikecheck valet service? You can park your bike there, knowing that it will be safe and supervised the whole time. Even better, our free @CyclingGuide@cosocial.ca mobile app can route you directly to the Bikecheck facility! 😀🍻🚴🏼‍♀️❤️ #WaterlooRegion #BikeTooter #CraftBeer https://kitchenerribandbeerfest.com

  RE: https://cosocial.ca/@uxMark/116766520828727573 I’m thinking that it’s hard to see any of Carney’s environmental policies through the smoke/haze that’s covering so much of Ontario right now. #CanPoli #ClimateCrisis #OntarioWildfires

  I really wish that more Canadians looked at Carney’s policies more closely that many of us seem to do. Instead, we continue to get distracted by the US president to the exclusion of all else… “The government under Prime Minister Mark Carney has “repealed or weakened virtually every climate policy and regulation that Canada had developed in the last decade,” a former member of Canada’s Net-Zero Advisory Body told MPs.” — Carl Meyer, @thenarwhal@mstdn.ca #CANpoli #ClimateAction https://thenarwh...

  Gave the new bike a mild workout today, cycling to some favourite stores. The old school milk crate is lovely, but if my feet are too far back on the pedals my heels will hit it. Still, looks cool. 😎 But the ride is phenomenal! And check out the awesome home-built cargo bike in the first photo. Had a great conversation with the owner/builder. #BikeTooter #Brompton

  RE: https://cosocial.ca/@CyclingGuide/116817171246346442 I’m proud and excited that our @CyclingGuide@cosocial.ca app can get routes directly to the City of Kitchener's Bikecheck event parking next week! #WaterlooRegion

  RE: https://mastodon.scot/@scotlit/116504875585185323 People in Waterloo Region (Cambridge in particular) and Guelph will know John Galt’s name, at least. When I first read this post, I assumed it was a different Galt. But it’s not! Very cool article 😀 #WaterlooRegion #Guelph #CambridgeON

  Someone I care about told me about this and I asked for a screenshot. And I’m proud to share this! Though I don’t know the best hashtags to use to spread the joy 😀❤️ #LGBTQIA #LGBTQ

  Hello! I'll do a proper introduction later, but for now, I was @uxmark@mstdn.ca for a long time, and am migrating here. 😀❤️

  Today, off and on, I’ve been watching the NDP convention on CPAC, while checking in on my Mastodon timeline. I suppose I’m in an echo chamber of sorts, but it’s one based on mutual respect and support and love. And I’m ok with that. #CanPoli #NDP #NeverVoteConservative

  I’m a big fan of the videos that Jason Slaughter creates for @notjustbikes And I’ve been a Nebula subscriber since 2024 explicitly to watch his videos there (as well as videos by others). His most recent video made me angry, made me laugh out loud, and otherwise moved me as he enumerates the many ways that cars culture harms us all. The video will show up on his YouTube channel soon, but I want to explicitly support Jason and Nebula here. #CarCulture #Urbanism https://nebula.tv/videos/notjus...

  “Michael Longfield, the executive director of Cycle Toronto, the group leading the Charter challenge against the bike lane removals, called the meetings a ‘profound waste of time and resources.’ ‘These aren't idle distractions. The premier's office’s time is extremely valuable,’ he said. 'Honestly, at this point, I’m tempted to buy the premier a copy of SimCity 2000,’ Longfield said, referring to the revolutionary 1993 city-building video game.” #ONpoli #BikeTooter http...

  @avilewis gave a rousing speech following his win as new leader of Canada’s Federal NDP. Here’s CPAC’s coverage of the announcement. Avi’s speech begins at around 10:45 in this video. I found it moving and motivating. Some of you might too. #CanPoli #NDP https://www.cpac.ca/cpac-special/episode/2026-ndp-convention--avi-lewis-wins-federal-ndp-leadership?id=e3853866-b78b-4731-9286-2822e8365741

  This is my first new instance in over three years! And I'm happy to be here! I'm interested in, and often post about, cycling (especially urban utility cycling), what I do with vegetables from our garden (including lactofermentation), craft beer, Canadian politics (especially Ontario politics), and stuff local to me here in Waterloo Region. (I'll use hashtags.) In my day job I work on @CyclingGuide and love it. I may add followup posts to this if I think of anything el...
