Obviously the pandemic has caused mental health problems. But our pre-existing mental health problems have also caused bad responses to the pandemic. America leads the world by # of people who suffer from anxiety disorders. Ppl with anxiety issues can't think clearly about risk

One of the most frustrating trends in local media coverage, IMHO. Signed, Person on bike who has been hit by a driver

Just left #Petworth Library with about a hundred others in line who looking for test kits :/

As an ultrarunner and (very) novice pickleballer, I sincerely appreciate this. Also, I’m realizing yet again that my obsession with “fringe” sports continues. See Dance Dance Revolution, ultimate frisbee, parkour, etc. 😎

DC hands out 30,000+ #COVID at-home test kits last week. We then see 9,200 new cases over the last four days (10+% of all of DC’s cases since March 2020). Yes, Omicron is contagious, but the lesson for me is that we have been so wildly under-testing since day one.

Shocked that DC’s pivot on #COVID #testing strategy isn’t a bigger story. Yes, DC is most “vulnerable” city in U.S. right now, but is leading on distribution of at-home antigen test kits. 108,000 have been distributed so far. Thank you Martin Austermuhle: dcist.com/story/21/12/28…

“How are you passing the mic?” asks Matt Scott of Project Drawdown at #PFSummit22. “Those most vulnerable to #climatechange are also those that tend to be underrepresented in climate dialogue and solutions.” Need more of this energy in #ClimateAction work.

Couldn't be more excited about this partnership. Congratulations to the Climate Ride team and community of riders, donors, and 100+ beneficiaries. The next five years will be huge! staci.algo, see you and #algofam on the road/trail for upcoming #climateride events!

Zero faith in government to protect our safety, our health, and our climate at this point. Wildly disappointing. Not sure why I even glance at social media on days like this. It all feels like yelling into the void. Tons of wasted energy here.

I worry that would-be-Dem votes sit out of elections because they know the system is designed to give Republicans an advantage. The Senate, Electoral College, and lottery of the Supreme Court work in GOP favor. It’s been proven over and over that majority will doesn’t matter.

A reminder, yet again, that #bikeDC riders risk our lives every time we take to the street. Greeted by a mangled bike under a cement truck wheel at 21st and I NW this AM arriving on campus. Came back later to see forensics on site. Really hoping for reporting and justice.

Drivers kill people on bikes, not vehicles. An Ernest Maier cement truck driver killed Shawn O’Donnell yesterday. Thank you, @jas_hilton, for writing that. I will continue taking up as much space as I can on the road in your honor, Shawn. #bikeDC washingtonpost.com/dc-md-va/2022/…

Why didn’t DC Police Department outline the wheels of the bike that Shawn O’Donnell rode as she was killed? Investigators only outlined the location of the wheels of the Ernest Maier cement truck that ran her over. #bikeDC

Last 11 DC bike fatalities: 1. Cyclist with ROW was hit by truck that turned right into her path

Hi, DDOT DC. Thank you for activating the traffic light at 21st + H, NW. Now finish the job and add a NO TURN ON RED sign for SB drivers on 21st. It’s the least you can do to recognize cyclist and pedestrian life after Shawn O’Donnell was killed by a truck driver there. #bikeDC

In my 4,000+ mile bike ride across the U.S., I can confidently say that Wyoming was the state in which I felt least welcome. I hope to return proudly driving an EV with out-of-state plates one day.
