Dear car driver: why are you yelling back at me? I’m walking across the street, the pedestrian light is on, and your speedy left turn nearly cost me my livelihood and/or my life. You’re driving a fucking weapon. That’s what you’ve made it. I get to be angry. Not you.

Bless the red light for letting me catch up to the asshole driver who sped through a stop sign and cut me off (pedestrian). Gave his car a good thwack. I will immediately block anyone who thinks this tweet needs to be about cyclists who don’t stop. It is not the same, full stop.

Actually, the responsibility lies with the driver manoeuvring a heavy weapon.

Pro tip: cross walks don’t make you invincible. You have just as much of a responsibility to keep your eyes open and look both ways as a driver does to stop.

Pedestrian safety starts with attention by drivers who are behind deadly metal weapons. Full stop. This messaging is incredibly disappointing. This is exactly why I can’t trust drivers. Fuck this.
Eyes up, phones down! Pedestrian safety starts with attention. Stay alert and avoid distractions while walking. Your safety is in your hands! 📵

You’re right, the world revolves around cars. If advocating for pedestrians and cyclists makes me self-centred, I’ll fucking take it.
No, YOU are responsible for your own safety, whether walking, cycling, scooting, driving, or riding public transit or an escalator. The world does NOT revolve around you. I look both ways even if the light is green & the walk signal is lit or even if I'm arm in arm with my man.

This is a stupid reason to block a bike lane. (New cars being offloaded for car dealership). Maybe we could remove this car dealership and put in below-market or supportive housing, and construct protected bike lanes. Pipe dream, I guess.

People like to rag on pedestrians for breaking the rules of the road. I ignore some intersections and jay walk because I can’t trust car drivers to follow the rules. I can rely on car drivers to use stop signs as yields (to other cars, not me), but that’s about it.

This asshole sped through a stop sign and when I confronted him he rolled down his window to say: “fuck you”. I responded: “no, fuck you! You’re supposed to stop at stop signs.” Then he says: (and I quote) “you’re walking too fast”.

Common retorts from sexist and reactionary numskulls: “just grow taller”! “Bet you’ve never worked in your life”, “you’re a kid though”, “don’t stand in front of vehicles sweety”, and the b word, the c word, or the r word. Not offended, not surprised, but disappointed

Fines are not enough. we cannot count on police to enforce driving laws. They already turn a blind eye to the thousands of driving infractions made everyday, and when drivers are caught, the penalty is laughably small.

What’s with the weird hand flip/wave that car drivers give after they nearly hit you? Is it a half-assed apology? An “invitation” for me to finish crossing without getting hit? Whatever it is, it fucking sucks.

Imagine spreading a moral panic about a lack of parking spaces.
We're going to support downtown businesses by removing a few hundred parking spaces their customers rely upon to reach the downtown core?
Bold strategy.
Bold because I would propose doing exactly the same to kill downtown businesses, which it may also accomplish.

Almost got hit by a speeding left-turning car while crossing a lighted intersection. My (reasonable) reaction? Flipping the driver off. Their reaction? Same thing. Not at all reasonable for someone who is driving dangerously with near-misses. Fuck you, driver.

i walk down this block of pandora 2+times a day. no problems. maybe because i’m not traumatizing (and re-traumatizing) and causing harm to people with a police uniform and gun? the point of this tweet is to increase budget on something that isn’t working. move on.
Officers in the 900-block of Pandora Saturday were told a person was overdosing nearby. Officers were giving Naloxone & CPR when a crowd surrounded & tried to stop them. When more officers responded, one of them was stabbed with a needle.
