For anyone wondering, Mastodon got over 70K sign-ups yesterday alone. Let's keep the momentum going! The "public square" of the web must not belong to any one person or corporation!

I'm going to go dig up my old mastodon account at the very least. https://t.co/upWJcxqEAT

My messaging app's autofill suggests that I should text "drive safe" to anyone who tells me they are leaving or going anywhere.

WWOOFing was a totally life changing experience. Can't recommend it enough to those who want to better understand our place in this world. https://t.co/fqIIoq10BJ

Despair and outrage and internal sniping and indictment prayers aren’t going to save America from fascism.

It’s time to shake off the funk, get a grip, and build a new and improved pro-democracy movement to defeat authoritarianism, hatred, and lies.https://t.co/iSjW6j09K5
This tweet pairs well with this chart I found a while ago on wear-and-tear to roads by vehicle weight.

It would take 17000 trips by bicycle to do the same amount of damage as 1 trip by car down the road.
Cyclists should be subsidized. Not cars. pic.twitter.com/dRxB0xIrSQ
The other day I had a driver give me the classic "you cyclists don't pay for the roads."
— Will Stedden (@bonkerfield) October 12, 2022
In fact, driver's fees and taxes don't even cover the full share of maintaining roads. I have to subsidize the drivers who are constantly contemplating killing me just for existing. https://t.co/nIEYEI5Nnb
This is why we left healthcare to promote positive active lifestyles outdoors.

At this point, active transportation is better than medical advances for promoting human health. https://t.co/bAwQ3tz1Af
I made a Strava account for when I ride the cargo bike for work. Gonna start writing little travel logs of all the things I see around Madison. Follow me here:https://t.co/7u5Qp6VKDw pic.twitter.com/P1dDWAAWoZ

it will be nice to not have to keep buying expensive dinosaur juice from a brutal dictatorship just to get around town https://t.co/9zZ5rRsvH4
An electric plane that goes 200-300 miles might have niche application, but it's much less economical than just building electric HSR. Why drag a huge battery through the air?

A sustainable future actually looks like high-speed rail to replace short-haul flights. https://t.co/AyYrAWpe1Q
It's International Safe Abortion Day—help us spread the word that the power of a safe abortion is in our hands!
— Hey Jane Health (@HeyJaneHealth) September 28, 2022
Abortion pills are safe + effective, but only 1 in 4 adults know that they exist.
For every retweet we get today, we'll donate $1 to our abortion fund partners
To all my Chicagoan and train traveler friends, here is a petition to make rail around Chicago even better. https://t.co/HTlFb1xewr

They say that ships carry boats. So I guess I'm riding the ship equivalent of an ebike?

Couldn't get enough biking. Joining @Madison_Bcycle to carry ebikes and batteries around town. pic.twitter.com/e0YsPklQiv
