I first heard @tamikabutler.bsky.social speak in 2016—we had the chance to
work together after that—and I told anyone within earshot to hear her speak today at #yimbytown. I’m glad she’s here and will leave with a lot to
think about ⬇️

Having a laugh track while telling a room full of YIMBYs to do better ended in a well earned standing ovation for @tamikabutler.bsky.social

Me too! Join me for this awesome book club with @nondriver.bsky.social (Anna Zivarts) and @islandpress.bsky.social! We're talking about Anna's book: When Driving Is Not an Option: Steering Away from Car Dependency.

I'm loving every bit of this so far. If you haven't gotten your copy yet...do it! Beyond lucky to call Charles a friend and someone I love learning with and from him, so go grab this book! @islandpress.bsky.social published another good one.

Still pinching myself that I’m being honored with this incredible group of women. It might be a mistake…but I’m going with it. If you have the funds, support this amazing org, the California Black Women's Health Project!

Due to some health stuff, I can’t make the ride. But I’m committed to raise money for the @lalgbtcenter.bsky.social & support my Rider Dykes teammates. If you have a little space to give and support the queer community, please visit giving.aidslifecycle.org/participant/45844profile and give!

Safe in LA but thinking of my people who are evacuating, losing homes, sleeping outside, & need support. It's easy to look west and think it's all rich folks who can make it, but that's not all of LA and it doesn't matter. Losing so much is traumatic and devastating. Reach out and check in on folks.

Yes! People don’t always just want to hear you sell them a bill of goods. They want to hear the truth and sometimes it’s that you just don’t know. Build trust thru honesty and transparency.
