Housing is skyrocketing in price, ppl are trying to find creative ways to make more housing. Nah, let's make more rules so those people can go fuck off and be homeless instead of harming nobody by living in a garage.

I’ve said it once, and I’ll say it a thousand times: The treatment for an ectopic pregnancy, a septic uterus, or a miscarriage that your body won’t release is abortion. If you can’t get those abortions, you die. You. Die.

To protect the advocacy work that we do at @StrongTowns against future harassment from the Minnesota engineering licensing board, I've officially retired as a professional engineer. FWIW, I'm 48 years old.
Here's the letter I wrote the board.

FYI: there’s a bad batch of cocaine being sold in #Nashville. Likely has fentanyl in it. I’ve seen 4 ODs tonight so far. Presenting like opiate overdoses but all say they only did coke. #Tennessee #publichealth #drugs

Hi, lead author of the study here. That's not really what we had in mind. Masks do block aerosols (proven) & if you read our paper carefully, you'd notice our results actually support the calls for universal masking, as well as N95, FFP3 or equivalent. Take care, @DrEliDavid!

Hi @JohnCooper4Nash @MetroNashville @NashvillePW - once "cyclist behavior" starts killing 40,000 people a year, you can list this as a key safety concern for your Vision Zero metrics.
Until then, kindly get rid of this bs. #ZeroVision @walkbikenash
