If anyone else rides a bike in Orange County and wants to join a queer (& allies) group ride at a casual pace tomorrow morning: http://theunlikelycyclist.com/new-events/a4acc7ebtttj8cwyyxmx2a5jzpezkm

I was assured that eBikes were fine since one of the organizers just had a knee replacement and will be riding hers (and this will be her first time out riding since the surgery...aww)

American Artist in ARTnews: “I think a lot of people read Butler and they see the things she’s describing happening, and they’re almost excited. But, with these fires, I felt disappointment, like, ‘Oh, we didn’t listen to anything she said.’ It feels really frustrating because we literally had the information.”
