As they #erase my #chalk from the #sidewalks in violation of #free #expression they leave the #guns unchecked. In 2024, there were 44,447 gun-related #deaths in the #US, averaging about one death every 12 minutes. How many people got killed by a piece of chalk?

My chalking campaign in #downtown #orlando #florida near #lake #eola has been so successful that #city #employees #patrol the area with fervor and #police are posted near my most targeted #sidewalks. This is a so-called #free country but my #expression is unwelcome.

@TheOldGuy Excellent. This needs to catch on, and not just on beaches. #8647 is easily added to #sidewalks in #chalk, in handmade #stickers, #BumperStickers, etc. #8647 needs to catch on globally. #FuckTrump #8647 TODAY.

Manila is pretty hostile to pedestrians, but still even when the pavement is busted and dusted (or more often, doesn't exist at all) we walk! #manila #mandaluyong #pedestrians #pavement #sidewalks

Deciding where to build #sidewalks based on how many people you seeing risking walking on the side of a #highway is exactly like deciding where to build #bridges based upon how many people you see swimming across a river, or deciding where to build roads by how many people you see #driving their #cars through the woods and fields.

You don't plan #transportation #infrastructure based upon apparent current usage. The lack of that infrastructure enforces low usage.
