What are your favorite books on repairing things? What about books on making things?

As the internet gets filled with AI slop I've been putting together a personal library for friends and neighbors.

I have a book on bike repair, two books related to making, altering, and mending clothes, a book on home repairs, a book about electronics, and the book I used to study for my Ham radio exam.

It appears someone in #CambridgeMA is scattering thumb tacks in bike lanes, particularly on Hampshire St.

I guess it's not enough to do anti-mobility violence from the inside of a vehicle, huh?

AP: ‘A day without fear': Chicagoans buy out street vendors amid immigration crackdown

CHICAGO (AP) — The cyclists arrive at sunrise, rolling through Chicago’s Latino neighborhoods and stopping at tamale carts, elote stands and candy stalls. They buy out every last item — every tamale, every corn cob, every bundle of sweets. Then they load up the food and deliver it to shelters and families in need.

@meganL asks:

Q5. How can we legislate and design to discourage dangerous riding that we assume e-cycles enable without being ableist fuckheads about it?
