@MassDOT @BikeLeague Are we invited for a ride on a specific date? I would like to try to join!

Dying in the street isn’t gentle. It isn’t tidy, or peaceful. There’s no warning, no preparing. It isn’t how any life should end.

Victims of traffic violence don’t pass away - they’re killed.

Thanks to @byTheresaVargas for again shedding light on the unimaginable.

Successful bike bus to Argenziano School this morning with Mayor @katjballantyne and Superintendent Curley!

Parents are so afraid to give their kids freedom because of #%$ like this. But good mental health is safety too, and being constantly told you’re too incompetent to be alone is not good for kids’ mental health.

I had exactly one day of adult supervision getting to school - my first day of kindergarten.

My message on Day 14 (Last Day) of #COP27.

[Peter Kalmus @ClimateHuman]

To all of you fighting for this Earth and for other people, against the rising tide of the careless rich, I love you with all of my heart.

[Stephanie Galaitsi @StephanieLearns]

@jlrhart Thank you for sharing Allie's life and her story. It makes me feel validated in asking for better safety improvements in my area. Every crosswalk that gets raised or speed hump put in because parents are better motivated is a tribute to your daughter. I will keep her in my heart.

@DsaCult Did it work? Is it still pedestrianized?

[Stephanie Galaitsi @StephanieLearns]

I heard that Medford Square pedestrianized in the 1990s, and it didn't work. Does anyone know anything about that? Or who I might talk to? I want to hear the story.

[Stephanie Galaitsi @StephanieLearns]

@ElleryKlein Do you know from where to where?

I'm so curious how long it was up, what people thought...Someone must know!

[Stephanie Galaitsi @StephanieLearns]

@BenForWard3 AHHH I CAN'T WAIT

[Stephanie Galaitsi @StephanieLearns]

@Henryz_mom Was telling this someone arguing "bike lanes will hurt small businesses." I was like "so you're okay with our small businesses requiring a death sacrifice every year?" WHO IS OKAY WITH THAT?

[Johan Rockström @jrockstrom]

Time to get serious at #COP27. Saudi Arabia's Minister of State for Foreign Affairs says tackling climate change is "not about fossil fuels" is like saying the Economy is not about Money. Only path to a manageable future for humanity is to start phasing out fossil fuels. Now.

The art of carving is one of the oldest traditions in history.

Over the ages, Islamic Arabic calligraphy has been carved into architecture & objects. Today, artists are continuing this craft for future generations…

A thread on the past & present of carved Arabic calligraphy…

@kim_amerie People don’t like fighting, they like winning. Dominating. It’s just another form of toxic masculinity.

@AmandaRychel @inLIUofJOAN @KlausSchultz7 But some of them are from MALDEN (honestly wasn’t really sure where he was going with that. We should be so glad that folks from Malden are choosing to take public transit into Somerville)

[Stephanie Galaitsi @StephanieLearns]

@jake4somerville Happy almost birthday?
