I post mostly about cycling/safe street infrastructure #BanCars

Views are my own and not anyone else's (especially not my employers!)

Do not provide your ID or facial scan to access social media.

I repeat, do NOT provide your ID or facial scan to access social media when requested.

This is not a drill.

If everyone refuse to comply, and let their accounts dormant instead, I promise you the platforms themselves, with their immense budget and network of lobbyists, are going to fight these absurd laws to recover their users.

They need you more than you need them.
Make them fight for your rights.
Do not comply.
Spread the word and boycott ID checks ✊

Sometimes a big ol PB&J just slaps.
Beautiful day for kayaking on #ChesapeakeBay

never forget: we didn’t ask for robot cars. when polled US majorities have always wanted action on climate, good public transit & safe streets. but our leaders act without our consent.

last year, 78% polled wanted increased investment in US passenger rail, a number that went to 80% among women and 82% in cities and 91% among Black people. this year, 76% polled in the US said they are afraid of self-driving cars & just 9% say they trust them and that number is declining year to year

On a new instance, so time for a new #introduction post:

Hi, I'm Xander! I moved to Virginia last year, I currently live in Williamsburg but will be moving to the Eastern Shore next month and I'll be there for the next few years for my master's program. I study marine science, particularly algae, but outside of work I've been involved in a couple different safe streets advocacy groups the last few places I've lived. I am a firm car hater and enjoy riding my bike, primarily for transport but with a little bit of fun rides mixed in.
