Homework for today: go for a wander until you see a cool dog/cat/bird.

Bonus points if you stop to admire/talk to/pet it.

New beautiful twitter collab, a bunch of songs we all agreed would make you get up and dance!

[@[email protected] @phoebe_ayers]

@michaelharriot Dear internet, I made a playlist for these. It's collaborative, so add your own. It sounds a little like a drunk wedding DJ. You're welcome. PS I only put "September" on once. https://t.co/IH2JoOUvZX

Eating your veggies, being creative, and laughing are all a part of healthy living! So get those googly eyes and get rolling.

cutting bell peppers and adding googly eyes is bound to heal your soul a little, give it a try

The #HamOntStairs are your active transit options with green below AND above. Some of us even have bike racks!

[𝚃𝚊𝚛𝚊𝚜 𝙶𝚛𝚎𝚜𝚌𝚘𝚎 🚇 @grescoe]

How to make green transit even greener. Put the tram tracks on a carpet of grass or sedum. 2 kms of track creates 1.5 football fields' worth of green space, reducing air pollution and urban heat island effect.

Ok, it may be hot at the bottom of the stairs today, but as soon as you hit that top flight the breeze starts. And it is a good one!

Get to work!

Someone better rewrite that Brittney song to be about getting to work for *kindness*.

[Robyn Maynard @policingblack]

It takes work not to be an asshole, actually. It takes regular and consistent labour to resist selfishness and cruelty in a society that rewards it.

[Dundurn Stairs @DundurnStairs]

Kindness is a rebellious, defiant act.

Thinking of others takes effort and energy, and is the only way to make our communities better for everyone.

[Dundurn Stairs @DundurnStairs]

Woohoo!

I know it’s not officially open yet, but I couldn’t resist doing a little ride through the new section of the Hunter Street bike lane in downtown #HamOnt. Couple of thoughts about it. 🚲

im warm ,im safe ,im happy !

@HamiltonNature @NarcityCanada @RBGCanada What is even more intoxicating is the sweet sweet smell of not traveling between cities during a pandemic.

And also naming the community you are trying to send hordes of humans to, at least they could use our name! #HamOnt

[Dundurn Stairs @DundurnStairs]

We are not "near Toronto", we are our own city? And could you please have the human decency to NOT traveling to a different city in the middle of a pandemic? #HamOnt

[Narcity Canada @NarcityCanada]

You can wander through one of the world's largest lilac collections! https://t.co/KtcMB4s9x7

Getting mad and doing something about your local political scene totally counts as cardio.*

*disclaimer: does not apply to developers who want to pave farmland, or those who think cars are more important than people.

[Dundurn Stairs @DundurnStairs]

Oh Ottawa...park a car on the sidewalk and call it art. Park a pickup truck on the sidewalk to maintain the art. Truly a sibling-city to #HamOnt!

[Ollie Oliver @Ollie_Cycles]

What has walking & biking all fucked up right now? Cars.

Asking drivers nicely to stay inside the lines doesn't work. Writing tickets doesn't prevent bad behavior, at most it punishes it after the fact.

What prevents bad behavior? The idea they might scratch or dent their baby.

[Ollie Oliver @Ollie_Cycles]

"Infrastructure that fucks up cars is good,,, actually" is a hill I will die on.

This is not because I hate cars (I do, but that's not the motivation here), the goal is not specifically to mess up anyone's car.

The goal is to UnFuck Walking & UnFuck Biking

[Dundurn Stairs @DundurnStairs]

Oh no, wouldn't this be such a tragic thing if it happened in #HamOnt?

[Ollie Oliver @Ollie_Cycles]

Apparently taping a rock on a beg button creates a similar effect to having a city that thinks about pedestrians. #banbegbuttons #tacticalurbanism

[Dundurn Stairs @DundurnStairs]

Didn't have time for a workout today? Get your boogie and sweat on to this song. Please remember to move your body and be kind to yourself! https://t.co/Jo55ijJEb7

Look, you can see the protective bike lane paint doing its j— oh. Our street design is breaking hearts again 😩 #onpoli

Way to go Waterloo! If you build it, they will bike it!
