Damn it, I didn't even want a Switch 2 until 30 seconds ago. youtu.be/r8eMoxo4ipE?...
This month, À portée officially launches in Nantes. We're an organization that teaches residents how local power works & how to build their own. We believe in co-creation & participatory policymaking. Looking forward to building hope + outstanding policies w/ neighbors from across Nantes.

I'm really proud of the first couple episodes that we've put together & hope you find them insightful.
Talk to you next Friday!
@mayorofseattle.bsky.social can just pull a Reverse-Bruce Harrell and keep it open to people between Seward Park & Mt. Baker Beach indefinitely.
Then, in like 6 months, send out a survey to SE Seattle residents. See what they think. Let the actually data dictate what happens.
For real, Nantes celebrating PSG winning the UCL like they had anything to do with it. 🤣🤣🤣
I know I'm just bragging at this point, but recently I was saying I don't even consider painted bike lanes as bike lanes anymore b/c there are so many elevated or concrete protected ones in my city now. It's all political will. The change starts at the ballot box.
Ep 1 of nondriver is live on YT + your podcast app of choice. This week, @nondriver.bsky.social interviews me. Next week, I interview Anna.
We wanted to give you the opportunity to lean more about us before we jump in to interviewing others. Hope you find our first two episodes interesting!
Where are all those electeds, including the "housing champions" that stood in the way of social housing for years, now? Imagine how Seattle could have had this sooner if not for them. This is a huge win for engaged residents & a blow to the egos of plenty of electeds.
Excited to launch this tomorrow w/ @nondriver.bsky.social.
A peek behind the curtain: We've been recording a ton of episodes with people from across North America & we're excited to be sharing their stories, weekly, starting tomorrow.
See ya then.
Excited to kick off this project with @nondriver.bsky.social.
