We talk about walkability being good for all, changing perceptions, and even one of my favourite @brenttoderian.bsky.social concepts of "sticky streets."

Everyone I know is angry at the 2 airlines and the price gouge/service decline spiral we're stuck in. You know what's good for predatory corps?

It feels strange to see kind of the opposite happening here.22 Nov 2024 06:57 +0000at://did:plc:pr6zrckmjkt4nihraf7e4dg2/app.bsky.feed.post/3lbjfmg4qik2shttps://bsky.app/profile/darrinrigo.bsky.social/post/3lbi7ln4gh22cWhatever job the owners of those 2 sailboats have is the job I want.

Some thoughts on @akurjata.ca's "act locally" and how things like silly newsletters, grassroots groups, and motived citizens can amount to meaningful change for aging car-centric cities. https://open.substack.com/pub/darrinrigo/p/acting-locally?r=13o86&utm_campaign=post&utm_medium=web&showWelcomeOnShare=true20 Nov 2024 17:39 +0000at://did:plc:pr6zrckmjkt4nihraf7e4dg2/app.bsky.feed.post/3lbfilisyok2mhttps://bsky.app/profile/darrinrigo.bsky.social/post/3lbctztardk2dDefaulting into the Following tab, scrolling for a bit, getting a little bored and closing the app is such a welcome change from the screaming rage cage, dopamine mine that Twitter became.

Luckily managed to catch that window at Shane Lake this weekend. 📸18 Nov 2024 16:46 +0000at://did:plc:pr6zrckmjkt4nihraf7e4dg2/app.bsky.feed.post/3lbaeom5vgc24https://bsky.app/profile/darrinrigo.bsky.social/post/3lb6s6nc2r22wI officially shut down my X (Twitter) account today and am beginning my migration to this home.
