The Midwest urge to say “it’s warm out” when it’s 30° instead of 3°

Madison Ice Diamonds Open Masters got a pewter medal (4th place) at the Midwestern Synchronized Skating Sectionals. ⛸️ Woo hoo!

Planning a visit to my parents in San Jose. Thinking about bringing my skates to practice for my pre-bronze test in April. My dad: “why don’t you just rent skates there?” Me: 🤣🤣🤣🤣

Glancing at Madison's 2023 Housing Snapshot Report. With all this talk of "missing middle" housing, I'm always struck by how few 2-4 unit buildings we approve. Basically none. We've got to make it cheaper and easier to build that stuff. huduser.gov/portal/sites/d…

So the fact that almost all of the folks who were present at the event were older, whiter & wealthier than their community is problematic both because these folks are leveraging their privilege to deny access to housing to others *AND* because they don’t reflect the community

Writing this one made me curious: if you are car-free or car-light, what percentage of your household income do you spend on transportation, and what privileges make that possible? I'll start: 2% total, aka one tenth of the average American, apparently. 🫣 usa.streetsblog.org/2024/03/25/stu…

Cool Chicago life hack: I was seeking a very specific mounting bracket for a bike handlebar bag, found the file online for the part, and put in a request at the CPL Maker Lab with the link to the project files. They'll not only print it, but send it to my local branch for pickup.
