Wowzer, but this is an outstanding piece of writing.

Which has sadly become so rare in South Africa that it’s an almost spiritual experience to encounter it. https://t.co/f3OrXu2LVA

@boershistory Although these are plane trees and not oaks in front of these houses in Lower Dorp Street. Still more than 90 percent of the trees in Dorp Street are oaks

It's a goal of mine to help make this the most famous, well-known and UNDERSTOOD quote about cities in history.

Please share it as much as you can.

When it's safe and easy to get around on a bicycle, the bicycle is a rain or shine transportation tool.

Katsu curry is one of those beautiful, fulfilling meals. Made with lots of chicken stock, vegetables, & spices, and some chicken in panko breadcrumbs, fried in olive oil. It’s simple yet delicious.

In this thread I’ll show you how to make it.

I’ve been very open about the severe mental health crises I faced in my youth and often alluded to the "bad decisions" I made as a young adult. Now that they are known, I want to share my story of recovery from the brain disease model of mental illness. https://t.co/u9VYayRXYL

The most important thing about this amazing Paris transformation is how fast it happened — how fast people on bikes “appeared” — once streets were transformed. You can’t write this off as “Paris was always this way,” because it wasn’t.

It took leadership.

The Greek Salad was actually invented by Palestinians who lived peacefully in Greece for over a million years before it was occupied by Greeks.

Ann writes like I aspire to, with both heart and lyricism, even when she’s rightly pissed.

In a way, her telling the story of her essay gives it a resonance beyond if it had simply been published conventionally.

WATCH: Seriously, if you’re following ANY bike-lane debate, you HAVE TO WATCH this news story. Politician claims without evidence that bike-lanes are bad for small business, and THE ACTUAL BUSINESS ASSOCIATION obliterates him with data. Great, @citynewsTO.

I’ve produced a radio doc about David Bowie‘s time in Berlin / living with Iggy, wearing moustache & check shirts, making Heroes in Hansa, as remembered by those who were with him. Presented by filmmaker Francis Whately (Five Years)…1/2

Aggressive traffic calming measures combined with protected bike lanes and shared-use paths will make a world of difference. It’s practical and achievable.
