@lavish lol fuck off

@mattl @thomasfuchs Right, the white seats in the back didn't require masks since we were able to open two full walls of the tent.

@mattl @thomasfuchs In hindsight, and if we'd had a guarantee of better weather, best option probably would have been to have the simulcast fully outdoors, especially with the LED video wall being an option now.

@clarity Thanks for sharing these Clarity! 💛

We asked 1,000+ attendees to mask indoors this weekend, and everyone just did. I didn’t have to stop and remind a single person the entire 3 days.

There were definitely gaps in the policy, the risk wasn’t reduced to zero, but if anyone is wondering if it’s possible for events and large gatherings to make reasonable accommodations to reduce the risk of spreading COVID, it absolutely is, we proved it, and your event should be doing it too.

Hope everyone is having fun!! #xoxofest

@annika this is exactly what's going to happen yes

Been heads down working on something for the last year+, finally considering making a reappearance and starting to talk about it some on social media, only, where are we supposed to do that now?

This’ll be my first time launching something new / ambitious without taking it to Twitter first, and with the network I built there largely scattered to the wind. Terrifying! 😬

What happens when you lower speed limits, invest in cycling infrastructure, and prioritize pedestrian access? People stop dying.

> While pedestrian deaths in the US reach 40-year highs, Hoboken hasn’t reported a single traffic death since January 2017, and injuries have dropped 41%.
