  1. Add another tally to the "things you can do on public transport."

    Amazing what the bus and train drivers will let you bring on board if you wait till off peak and give them a big smile.

    PS i know the Germans won't blink an eye, but Australia is so car centred it's hard for people to fathom taking the PT, let alone using it to move furniture.

  2. I'm so excited to experience the #ShortNorth as it should be—#CarFree! On Saturday, there's a holiday event happening and they're closing High Street to cars for several blocks. I can't wait! shortnorth.org/holidayhop/ #Columbus #Urbanism @heartlandurbanist @heartlandurbanist_channel

  3. #introduction
    Hello! I'm Jonathan.

    Although I've lived in the USA for many years, I'm a Brit who doesn't want to take US citizenship. I liked living in France but have to stay in America. I miss the NHS!

    Soft left politics, still enraged about Brexit, disappointed with Starmer.

    Books I've enjoyed recently:

    -- The Wilsonian Moment: Self-Determination and the International Origins of Anticolonial Nationalism -- Erez Manela

    -- Justice Is Conflict -- Stuart Hampshire

    -- Effingers -- Gabriele Tergit

    Atheist with an interest in religion.

    I drink huge quantities of builder's tea, but treat myself to Darjeeling from time to time.

    I also enjoy Campari, IPAs, and White Horse whisky.

    I listen to classical music, Kpop, and all sorts of other things too - your YouTube recommendations are always welcome!

    Favourite food: quiche lorraine, Central Texas barbecue, smoked salmon. I miss roast lamb, Aero, and Bovril on toast.
