Funny to use Twitter to talk about transit when it's owned by a rich a*shole who hates public transit

[micamicare @micamicare]

I strongly believe that the TTC's issues are about 85% caused by poor planning/funding decisions from city/provincial/federal governments, but it's hard to remember that when it's the visible lightning rod that's actually making me late on the actual day.

[micamicare @micamicare]

I noticed this a lot this summer and frankly it's kind of nice to see confirmation.

[Spacing @Spacing]

There's been a lot of talk about how Toronto's construction zones are unsafe for pedestrians and cyclists, so @MischaYoung did a systematic study - and it's as bad as you thought. #walkTO #bikeTO https://t.co/a6di7PQxbB

Waiting 30+ minutes in the cold for a bus that's supposed to come every 20 minutes for a ride that is 24 minutes if the bus would just show up and wishing I had biked despite the cold pretty much sums up my usual #ttc experience

Amsterdam airport police running after hundreds of climate activists blocking private jets while on bicycles is objectively funny https://t.co/nhiVnblHGg

This article is just 100% what I want more people to think about when they think about autonomous cars.

Pierre Poilievre’s strategy of playing an anti-establishment friend of working people is compelling, effective & dangerous.

If this fake populist can con his way to power, the elite will have a field day.

Our @thebreachmedia video explains his playbook:

[micamicare @micamicare]

My favourite part about taking the TTC is how 9/10 times I invariably end up at the conclusion that I should have biked.

[micamicare @micamicare]

My favourite part about biking in Toronto is the damned if you do damned if you don't attitude drivers have. Like, you'd better not break any laws but if you follow the law, we're just gonna hit you anyway.

[Real & Good Creative @getrealandgood]

A city not building an ambitious network of protected bike lanes right now, like under construction today, is fundamentally unserious about climate change

[micamicare @micamicare]

Of course, they're ALL just the "painted bike gutters", and barey maintained, so clearly the city of #Toronto does not care about these particular lanes, but stillllll. 🤷

[micamicare @micamicare]

I just realized that all the bike lanes in my neighbourhood were installed on the steepest roads and I will never be able to forget this fact.

[micamicare @micamicare]

This isn't a huge problem for me (I was a seasoned cyclist before I moved here) but it sure does make it A LOT HARDER FOR NEW CYCLISTS TO START BIKING when they have to chose between feeling safer and an easier hill. #biking

I don't mean to alarm anyone, but someone is about to give birth to George Jetson.

When I was a kid, our DOS computer had an educational typing game, which was about the only game we had. And while I can't claim to be a great typist, to this day, I am vaguely concerned about all the incomplete adventures of a girl named Zoe.

The next time you hear someone claim that “COVID is over,” or “it’s just a cold”…remember that since December 2021, Omicron has been more deadly for Ontario's seniors���than the previous two waves PUT TOGETHER.

[Seanan McGuire @seananmcguire]

Okay, let's get into this. And yes, I'm limiting replies, because just because I'm cranky doesn't mean I have all day to play whack-a-mole with trolls.

"Why are you so upset about Covid? It's just the flu now!"

[micamicare @micamicare]

Lately, whenever I'm biking, I feel like I should pull out a marker and start measuring the height of truck and SUV front hoods on my arms/shoulders, b/c I suspect the height of them practically makes me, an adult, nearly invisible.

[A.B. Lane @ABLaneWrites]

Please don’t cut trans men and nonbinary people out of the conversation today. This is not just a women’s rights issue, anyone who can get pregnant is affected.

[micamicare @micamicare]

Put chapstic on my lips before biking across the city. Arrived at my destination with a full coat of grit on my lips.
