- An attempt at an indieweb website
I’m a gay girl living in San Francisco and New York City who loves cities and bikes. I mostly write about my life here. This blog is my effort to return to an Internet where we have a healthier, more personal relationship with our content. I hope that some day this blog will be home to that old blog post you find that is super useful.
I believe that cars are fundamentally incompatible with good cities, and that bicycles and transit are the best tools we have to make better cities and address the century of inequities brought by the automobile.
Comments #
I don’t feel obligated to publish the opinions of others, so I have chosen not to add native comments to this site. You can email me your feedback/thoughts/insults/questions/answers to [email protected], and I might append them to a post if I think it complicates or compliments the contents. I’m trying to distance myself more from social media, but sometimes I’m on Mastodon, where I’m @[email protected].
Dates #
- 🪴 Planted is when the post was begun, or first published.
- 🌿 Tended is when it was last updated.
- IMO, a fierce commitment to publishing once and being “right” is unhealthy, and leads to pressure to defend ideas and not change them. My thoughts, opinions, and website are more like a garden: new seedlings are being planted and old ones tended to, constantly. If you have something that might complicate my understanding of the world, please email me!
- The date on a book is either when I finished reading it, last read, or a rough estimation of when I read it (for older books).
