I demand a Connee Boswell bio-pic made by a #disabled director 🎶

Making me aware that there are a lot of people with disabilities that bicycle. Which I should have known, as my spouse has an "invisible" disability. But your mentioning it often really opened my mind more.
Paraphrasing because I can't remember exact quote.
"Like someone on the internet saying, I have thought about your position and changed my mind"--Michael from "The Good Place" TV show saying things that never happen.
#BikeSchool before
#BikeNite but still applies. -

There’s a lot of stuff wrong with #Vancouver, but I have to say the #BikeThefts are lower than most places I’ve lived because of the cooperation between bike shops and cops to report and return stolen bikesIt is rather appalling that such programs aren’t in place basically everywhere
“There's a proven way to stop bike theft. So why are so few cities doing it?”

Larger discussion:
Non-profits ask the wealthy to help the poorIn a healthy society 🙄 government programs take tax money from the wealthy and help the poor without needing to muck about with asking their permission
Gabrielle Peters is the boss ♿️ (she led the report on the heat done effects as I recall)
https://vancouversun.com/news/local-news/provincial-review-air-conditioners-extreme-heatLike a lot of #DisabilityTwitter mastodon failed to be a welcoming home for them 🥺

I see #MeganLeavey is back in the rotation on Netflix. I reviewed this heartwarming story about a Marine and her dog in 2017.

Randomly I notice today is St. Irma Dulce of the Poor’s birthday! (1914) 🎂She worked with the “poorest of the poor” in her convent in a chicken yard in Salvador, Bahia #Brazil
Raising money busking with her #Accordion!
Look up 🪗 in NE 🇧🇷 & find fantastic #baião & #forro rhythms so I’d love to have heard her play
Sainted in 2019 ❤️🔥🪗
And here’s a photo of the shrine/museum with her actual accordion!

@meganL I'm glad we are openly discussing #ableism in #workplaces & how it affects #PeopleWithDisabilities here though! We can't get more progressive changes if people aren't aware of the challenges & #discrimination #disabled people experience in many different workplaces.

[answering a question re: the difference in difficulty in moving a car/truck/van across borders vs a bike]we imported two ebikes and a car in to Canada when we moved from the US as new permanent residents a couple years ago. At least in terms of import (not just crossing for a visit and then returning), the car was *by far* more complicated. The bikes appeared on the list of stuff we were bringing and rode in the truck. That’s it, really.
The car needed a clean title (no outstanding loans), to be cleared of any recalls (by either having none or having the recall situation remedied), a special import number we had to pay some third party logistics company to get, which we needed to send to the border crossing customs office no less than 72 hours ahead of time, and to have special paperwork done on the US side as well as the Canadian. For the US side we parked on the shoulder of the bridge approach and went in an unmarked door of a nondescript building where we waited in a blank hallway with a bunch of truckers for a long time, hoping but unable to strictly confirm we were in the right place. Once in Canada we needed a safety inspection certificate from Canadian Tire, then new Canadian drivers’ licenses so we could get Canadian car insurance in order to get a new title and complete the import process. The safety inspection cost a couple hundred bucks, and required $800 or so in repairs, some that were maintenance that was probably due, and others that were to meet Canadian requirements, like modifying the running lights standard operation.We can use the same kid seats on our bikes as before, but we are legally required to have car seats in the car that carry the Canadian safety seal, which our US purchased seat did not.
We did get new CAN insurance for our bikes, but most people skip it.
The biggest challenge with moving ebikes cross border is getting them there - no commercial carrier is going to take your already-owned ebike battery on a plane or even a boat. Canada-US is driveable and share the same electric outlets; if you could get a US ebike to Europe somehow with its battery, it’d be very iffy on how to bridge the plug to outlet.

@DemonHusky @meganL @ascentale @bikenite same, but we can't have nice things. The closest product i can find that is Actually Available Where I Live and breaks down nice-ish is the #burley flatbed. Burley's pop-off wheels look great.

@linguacelta @meganL To add to this a bit: when I add #sashiko patches I also reinforce with a bit of fabric on the back. Fusible interfacing is very convenient, but I found it's even easier to just use a light dab of some (textile) glue to temporarily hold the patch in place while I sew over it.
It dries quickly enough and holds the patch in place fine. And it'll wash right out, at least after a few times. Though honestly I've never felt any glue when wearing the garments.
