“When I got home, I sat on the floor, wearing my helmet, and sobbed until I was hoarse with the overwhelm of my joy. I’d just ridden a bike for an hour! A bike! For an hour!”

To anyone who says “e-bikers are lazy and ruining cycling” you merely laugh and tell them to fuck off.
It’s like someone telling you you’ve ruined their hotdog because you put something they didn’t like on yours.
E-bikes are amazing!
I went birding at my favorite local spot for the first time since 2019 because of my scooter and there was so much joy. This post explains it well

just fyi, the page gets a little blurry toward the end. you might wanna check your formatting. 🥹
Thank you!
Best thing you’ll read all day.
“‘It’s not giving up,” she said, “It’s not cheating. It’s a new kind of freedom.’”
I see the "e-bikers are lazy and ruining cycling" discourse has arrived with the warm weather, and so let me just share this thing I wrote about how getting an e-bike after I got #LongCOVID gave me back one of the most joyful parts of my life that I thought was lost to me forever. bit.ly/48ohIH5
Springtime sun: *shines*
Me: Holy crap I’m an alive human being???
This puts me at 10 people released. I filed my 1st habeas petition 29 days ago. I am an incredibly small-time, nobody lawyer who knew nothing about immigration law the day I submitted that case. I barely know any more today. I had never sued the federal government and now I've beaten them 10 times.
😂
Heard a man growl “LOOKIE!“ at a woman in the grocery store. I whipped around to tell him what for and actually he was an animatronic Cookie Monster promo robot. COOKIE, he said. COOKIE.

IT IS TIME FOR THE WINTER PARALYMPICS!!!!
The Paralympics are the most consistently mind-blowing sporting event on the calendar. I promise you simply reading about how various Paralympic events work will make you say WHAT?!? or HOW?!?!? out loud at least once

Would your ten-year-old self be proud of you?
I am sitting on the couch, next to my wife, with a cat in my lap, playing Mario on a little screen, watching nonstop women’s basketball on a big screen, Bagel Bites in the oven. My ten-year-old self would think I’m a god.
When a nation loses care & concern for children, a nation becomes irredeemable.
Small men wage endless wars because they are looking to profit, while it costs innocent lives.
We will not tolerate Trump's callous disregard for human life. The war in Iran must come to an end NOW.

Socks’ second oncology appointment went great today! He has lost NO weight and now we just gotta make sure his blood ingredients remain correct after all the radioactivity, before he starts round three of chemo. Thank you for all your kindness to him and to us!
A bunch of delivery drivers pulled their scooters up to an intersection at the same time from different directions and they all started doing little honks at each other like a gaggle of geese!
An illustration from Long COVID Transformed My Mommy shows two kids in bed with their mother. She wraps them both up in a hug.
An illustration from Long COVID Transformed My Sister Into a Turtle shows a turtle wearing sunglasses and headphones. The text reads, "My mommy is like a turtle that doesn't want to come out of her shell. She avoids loud noises and bright lights. She prefers cozy, quiet places."
We haven’t seen many narratives about — or for — kids whose family members have #LongCOVID. Author and educator Sara Robitaille seeks to change that with her two new children’s books, Long COVID Transformed My Mommy and Long COVID Transformed My Sister into a Turtle. bit.ly/4csWXfE
