Completely agree @Naparstek ! The https://t.co/CjBfqUqmlp is so motivated by all of the bike bus movements regionally, nationally and globally! #safestreetsforall

@SenatorGill Please stop NJ Turnpike Authority plan to spend $4.7 billion to widen the I-78 highway through Hudson County. This plan will do nothing but harm the people of New Jersey and waste billions in doing so. Better alternatives exist! @CleanH2OAction @CleanWaterNJ

Awesome thread from @HowSenChong - great framing of why we need to move away from car centric decision making. Bike Busses (like https://t.co/CjBfqUqmlp) can create social momentum for change. We need all hands on deck to re-imagine our streets! @MontclairNJGov

[How-Sen @HowSenChong]

People often think I’m anti-car.

I’m not against the car. I literally own a car. One that I bought new just a few years ago that I really enjoy driving.

What I’m against is the convenience of the car being at the centre of how we’ve designed our society.

[Stephen Meyer 🚢 @nycmeyer]

Bees are amazing and critical to our own survival.

This thread on bees and the Qur'an is a great read. We can learn a lot from studying bees in the ways that Islamic scholars have done.

Happy #worldbeeday2023

[Bayt Al Fann @BaytAlFann]

In the Islamic holy book, the Qur’an a chapter is dedicated to the bee, called An-Nahl. This literally translates to ‘The Bee’ & it describes the bee’s way of life, & how Muslims should be more like them.

For #WorldBeeDay we are celebrating the bee in Islam 🐝

A thread…

Thanks @CoachBalto! Real knows real. We're just getting started! #bikebus https://t.co/CjBfqUqmlp

[Sam Balto @CoachBalto]

The organizers were inspired by bike buses across the country, including the most prominent effort, a bike bus to Alameda Elementary in Portland, Oregon, led by the school’s physical education teacher, Sam Balto. #BikeBus https://t.co/Y3YcvsyMHE

@sc_sager Highly recommend what the robin knows. If you have time to listen to birds every day they will tell you what's going on in your ecosystem https://t.co/Te43IFCTt6

@Pam_Rubin1 Sorry for the slow reply - there are a ton! I listed a few here https://t.co/PetpRhZoLZ

His book is mostly about improving defense/security but the adaptability lessons are broadly applicable.

@gindaanis @NeilPasricha @gindaanis I'm really enjoying your book. Thank you so much for writing it! Taking it in bite sized chunks so I can reflect. Hence the need for a little fiction to intersperse.

[Stephen Meyer 🚢 @nycmeyer]

1. How will you be dependent on them?
2. What will happen if they are threatened?
3.  ... or if they radically change course?

Understanding how ecosystems are disrupted when keystone species depart or are reintroduced will often sharpen partnership thinking.

Does that resonate?

[Stephen Meyer 🚢 @nycmeyer]

Working on a partnership (or partnership strategy)?

Have you heard of "keystone species"?

Nature has some tips for you!

#keystonespecies #natureisawesome

A short 🧵

[Stephen Meyer 🚢 @nycmeyer]

Why is this relevant to partnerships and collaboration?

As you develop your partnership strategy, it pays to determine who the keystone players are in your ecosystem. Identify them and determine how they provide value to the ecosystem.

Then ask these 3 questions...
