Finally getting out of here. Sad. It's the only time I've felt part of a community online. From #birding to #a2council, it was nice. That little shit goblin ruined it all like tiny pissed off toddler. @bluesky invites:

Just poppin' back in here to post some new @bluesky invite codes in case anyone needs them.

Hope to see you over there someday.
Why? Many people biking to work this morning & now they have to move into rush hour traffic. I'm so sick of this. Every single trip I take, there's cars forcing us into other cars. We are trying to do the right thing. How ist our city supporting us? #a2council #visionzero my ass.
Meanwhile, on my next trip of the day along the "Existing All Ages and Abilities Bike Route" on Pontiac Trail....
#a2council
Rest of my ride involved seeing many children walking on Traver because there's no sidewalk next to the school. Car swerved to avoid the ONE vertical delineator at a crosswalk on Pontiac as a man & dog stood there. This stretch considered "all ages and abilities bike network".
The new sidewalk work at Newport has left the bike lane dead ending at curb just before the bridge. It's now more dangerous for those on a bike. Used to be a curb cut there to get on the sidewalk. Happy to see the new sidewalks though! #a2council

If we’ve said it once, we’ve said it a thousand times…flex posts are SHIT.

I'm taking this writing class @washtenawcc. It's been a while since I've been in college, so I'm curious what folks think about this attendance policy. I've already missed one day because I added it late. It's already stressing my #ADHD ass out! #AcademicTwitter
Still hoping to get the #a2council band back together over on Bluesky. If any of my fellow A2Gov nerds need an invite code, DM me. I have one to spare.
Well, if I'm ever cool enough to get an invite, I'll be sure and offer it to one of my #a2council peeps
Side note: Last week, she was not getting class participation she wanted after 30 secs & moved everyone into breakout rooms to discuss & created an impromptu assignment for credit that was due at the end of class.
Update: She is now threatening to mark folks as absent if they are not properly prepared for class. Remember, her policy is four absences and you fail the class.
Agreed and look at our crash hotspots... Plymouth & Moore

A primer on how homelessness can be addressed by building market rate housing AND subsidized housing, with wraparound services. Ann Arbor uses the Housing First approach but we are a long way from Houston’s success. #a2council
Houston has experienced explosive job growth (top left).
Houston is #2 in the country for population growth (top right).
Houston builds more housing than any city in America (bottom left).
And, as a result, Houston has a homelessness rate 19 times lower than San Francisco’s.
