Done, sold the bike I restored! And, to someone who is buying it to try to start bicycling to work!! This will be awesome for them, as it has Schwalbe Marathon tires on there, which will be perfect for commuting They also happen to work for the city here, ha ha. (easy peasy for them, they are currently driving 3/4 of a mile to work and back every day, and this will be easy and quick for them).

I am a bottom writer on Medium because I write articles about building a new democracy.
Sometimes I go off script and write articles bashing certain political actors. These articles do better.

A imagem é uma quadrinha em três partes, com personagens animados e textos em português. Na primeira parte, uma personagem com cabelo castanho e um colar rosado pergunta: "QUAL SUA POSIÇÃO POLÍTICA?".
Na segunda parte, um personagem com uma cabeça roxa e um sorriso está em frente a uma imagem do mapa do mundo com o símbolo do Partido Comunista Soviético, sugerindo uma associação com ideologias de esquerda.
Na terceira parte, um personagem com uma cabeça branca e um sorriso simples responde: "ACHO QUE EU TENHO MAIS TENDÊNCIAS PRA ESQUERDA", seguido por uma imagem de um edifício em chamas, possivelmente simbolizando conflitos ou revoluções.
A quadrinha parece fazer uma crítica humorística sobre a pergunta sobre a posição política, usando imagens e textos para sugerir uma associação entre ideologias de esquerda e conflitos.
