Parvuli (Who) Dei

[Pope Francis – ARCHIVE @Pontifex266Arch]

The #Saints are formed by the Beatitudes: poor, meek, merciful, hungering and thirsting for justice, seeking peace. They are “filled with God” and incapable of remaining indifferent to the needs of their neighbour. They bear witness to paths of light that we too can trod.

@jmmarengoDPT Hmm, must be some mistake this isn't even in English 😜

[Brendan Connor, DPT @BRConnorDPT]

Going to be a super fun, interactive session on the intersection of clinical care, community involvement, and advocacy!
Hope you can make it!
(Also the @Aptaofma is working on some great events for those of you coming to visit!)

I've been off Twitter but wanted to come back to share that I'll be presenting at @APTAcsm in Boston next year!
Title: "Healthy Places for All Ages: Physical Therapists' Role in Creating Active, Age-Friendly Communities"

My biggest pet peeve in the fitness industry:

Men telling women to not train a certain way because they’ll get bulky or look like a man.

Like bro, YOU have been training for YEARS and you still ARE NOT bulky.

So why should that be a woman’s concern?

Been having a rough week and then today a lost car key situation “forced” us to take an 8 mile bike ride to the zoo and now I’m much happier.

[Brendan Connor, DPT @BRConnorDPT]

@FuckCarsReddit I said thirteen miles but meant thirteen MINUTES! It’s only 5.3 miles!

[Brendan Connor, DPT @BRConnorDPT]

@FuckCarsReddit What if I told you they built one of these 13 miles from downtown Boston? Along a well connected bike path, across the street from a grocery store and close to transit no less!

[Brendan Connor, DPT @BRConnorDPT]

@sunsopeningband I’ve also never met anyone who hasn’t met me!
That must mean that everyone in the world has met me! Amazing statistics!

We need @FCHWPO in @TheWarOnCars

It took almost 2hrs to get to the game yesterday I live 15 minutes away Boston traffic was so bad I’m still traumatized and felt the need to tweet this lol

@NickHoopes_ DYK you can just put periods on the cpi instead of writing responses

[Brendan Connor, DPT @BRConnorDPT]

The older towns usually have nice downtown areas and street design amenable to walking and biking. New burns built after 1960ish are all strip malls, highways and cul de sacs.
Think Melrose vs Wilmington (Mass)

[Brendan Connor, DPT @BRConnorDPT]

I feel like there has to be a different term for the older suburbs that were built around train stations and for the newer, super car dependent burbs.

[Ray Delahanty | CityNerd @Nerd4Cities]

I’m living in a suburb this year for the first time in my life (and probably the last). Are all suburbs terrible? Two prompts: (1) Name me a good suburb, and (2) use the poll to let me know if you grew up in a suburb/small town (or a core city), and where you live now.

[Brendan Connor, DPT @BRConnorDPT]

Anytime you ask your city/town for better bike-ped infrastructure

[Brendan Connor, DPT @BRConnorDPT]

@PeterLeeDPT For the record I looked it up and it’s pronounced “GO-shh” not “GOW-sh”

[Brendan Connor, DPT @BRConnorDPT]

@PeterLeeDPT I’ve been fluent in English my whole life and this still happens to me lol. Just recently I was thinking about the word gauche and how I have never said it out loud.
