Social distancing was made possible for me today in large part thanks to the King Street Bike Lane, @LdnOntBikeCafe and @Wine_Vinyl and #ldnont biking community. I rode my bike in to work instead of riding a bus. It also helps I have a secure place to keep my bike
Without the King Street Bike Lane I probably would never have felt comfortable biking, without @Wine_Vinyl patience riding with me the first few rides and without the biking community and especially @LdnOntBikeCafe showing how it can be done it wouldn't have happened.
I know lots of ppl are keeping an entire SUV bubble around themselves but doing that is contributing to the #climateemergency which will have a HUGE negative effect on health and safety for everyone not to mention the economy in the future.
Not everyone can afford a SUV bubble which is why we need safe infrastructure. Not everyone feels safe biking without separated bike lanes. Safe biking infrastructure is very much a health issue.

THREAD re: understanding social distancing and practical steps

Let's be clear about the severity of CoVID-19 & the potential impact so that we can help each other understand why we need to slow the transmission now, spread the inevitable cases over a longer period of time, 1/x
and flatten the epidemiological curve. I talked with my aunt, who was planning to travel. She understood quickly once I explained in ways that made sense to her. Feel free to share this post--it's long and includes suggested actions. It's important to understand 2/x
that 1 in 5 CoVID-19 cases require hospitalization. When you read that 20% of cases are serious, which is all over the news, that's what it means: 1 in 5 CoVID-19 patients need a hospital stay to have a good chance of not dying. Think about what it would mean 3/x

THREAD 1/20:
I've had a few people write to me asking for advice regarding financial issues that may arise from the closure of shows & Arts venues in the coming weeks. So I jotted down some thoughts. How bleak do I think it's going to get?Not Cats movie bleak, but it'll be tough

Sadly, in my opinion, our Peers in the Arts are in for a rough ride in the coming months once COVID19 truly takes hold in the community.

Thread: Careering through life as an #UndercoverAutistic

I've had 30+ jobs in 40+ years but then I only discovered last year I'm #ActuallyAutistic

As a child my career aspirations were:
a) nun
b) lighthouse keeper
c) almoner*

*hospital social worker #AllAutistics 1/
In the sixth form my art teacher got me a Saturday job at a picture framer's. My main role was making excuses when customers phoned.

A trip to buy supplies with the owner turned dodgy but luckily I had the presence of mind to get away.

#ActuallyAutistic #AllAutistics 2/
In my university vacations I worked back to back shifts in a bakery and local cinema to save up money.

On my first shift in the cinema the senior usherette threw hot tea over me. I was promoted to cashier and removed to the box office, out of harm's way #ActuallyAutistic 3/

I'm at the Cycling Advisory Committee meeting at City Hall. It's public, and the agenda is posted below. Meeting started at 4PM, will run until ~6:30.

Alright, time for monthly update. We had an enormously long CAC meeting, and it was incredibly important. Tonight we made #LdnOnt's first Climate Emergency recommendations, based on sound science, and existing City policies. Long thread ahead 🧵 2/n
First, I'm totally drained, and holding a sleeping baby, so please forgive any typographical errors or interruptions in story flow... I'll get this done before midnight, probably. 3/n

Pilot in BC Canada: @velometro 3-wheeled enclosed #ebikes operating as shared vehicles. Think Car2Go+bike. Geofenced to keep off pedestrian walkways. #TRBAM
If @velometro classified as bikes they can be in bike lanes but you couldn't park these at a bike rack. Lots of policy issues to be worked through. #TRBAM #bikeshare (?)
Traffic operations questions created by low-power vehicles that aren't quite bikes. If they operate (maybe in general motor vehicle lanes) + you want smaller vehicles used for urban delivery + working for bike mode shift, what happens? #TRBAM #LEVs

Except you don't have the consciousness to do that- only what you've, perhaps, been programmed to register, process, or maybe transmit/emit. Here in #Ireland on the other hand there are 💚s everywhere hoping to #repealthe8th #LISTENUP #Focus on #Caring #Now to ensure #legislation
