I was going to do the usual Good Morning post to you all, but then I heard about the shooting at the LGBTQ+ nightclub in Colorado.
I just want to say each of you is so loved and essential to the world. I know I want to scream, rage and it will take time to process.
To my LGBTQ+ family: I love you so much. We are not the problem. Stay safe and look out for each other. We deserve a better society. We will get there.❤️‍🩹🏳️‍🌈🏳️‍⚧️✊🏽

#introduction I'm Looper (she/her). I'm a recovering physicist and data scientist, currently at home with a baby in #CambridgeMA. I don't drive, and am into walkable neighborhoods, public transportation, protected bike lanes, and safe pedestrian infrastructure. Posts may also include etymology tangents and Opinions about constitutional reforms.

Seen several "put content warnings on politics" posts and I don't know how to tell white people that 90% of all life is politics. You're asking people to hide the stuff you find unpalatable and that's not a reasonable thing to expect other people to do for you.
Pickup truck weight has skyrocketed over the past 35 years from 3,500 to 5,000lbs. This puts pedestrians and cyclists at risk. We need to tax these dangerous vehicles like Norway does so that manufacturers go back to creating lighter vehicles that make streets safer for pedestrians and cyclists.

@scottsthoughts @samsteiner agreed on all counts.

If you’ve not seen it, the Davis Sq Neighborhood Plan has had new life breathed into it: https://voice.somervillema.gov/davis-square

Davis Square Commercial Area Plan

We are creating an updated version of the Davis Square Neighborhood Plan and need your input! Last summer, we began discussions on the impacts of the Covid-19 pandemic on the Davis Square plan. We also continued to hear feedback from the public, including community
