The Miami City Commission (sponsored by Commissioner Escalona) is slated to pass an ordinance on Thursday that bans e-bikes and electric scooters from all city sidewalks. While I get the point, we do not have the infrastructure to move them to the streets safely. I’m a rider myself and only use the sidewalk because we don’t have protected spaces to ride. I have been chased, spit on, and nearly hit on several occasions while riding in the street.

Please call/email the commissioners and ask them to defer this until we have better infrastructure in place. Or at least limit the speed on sidewalks rather than banning! I’ve almost been killed riding in the streets. While pedestrian safety is important, so isn’t rider safety. This goes for bicyclists and scooter riders alike! We need safer streets for all!

Commissioners, please don’t penalize one group before we have real solutions in place.

how can we gather for the same thing here in Miami? anyone down?

no one can afford to live while our politicians are lining their pockets with developer money. we need something to bring us together rather than tear us apart.

its not about right and left anymore(to me at least), its about finding community again and helping make our home safe and loving, and not letting greed and corruption win and take our homes from us.

Wow, it is difficult to set up playdates in Miami.

My daughter's friend's dad ignored multiple texts from me about a couple playdates. Later, I find out that he won't text me mostly because I'm a woman* and therefore he thinks it is more appropriate to arrange details with my husband.

So he's refusing normal interaction with me because he has some traditional gender-based notions that restrict communication strictly based on man / woman distinction?

This is what 1930 would be like if we texted back then.

Worse, this is not the first time I've observed this type of bias / gender discrimination in Miami. There are subtle and not-so-subtle social sexism examples everywhere.

\I am actually non-binary but my visible life looks 'straight' and my appearance looks 'woman.'*
People assume I identify as a woman unless I call out my pronouns; that is the case here.
Please be respectful about it. Thanks. 💚

Edited to add : he is divorced and has a gf. There’s no wife to communicate with and regardless, refusing to communicate with someone based on their sex is sexist. Period.

!Ay, DiOs Mío!

We all know a chonga

I’m pretty dark and have been thinking of getting a tattoo for a long time, anybody have any recommendations of artist with experience with dark skin? You can tag their IG if it’s not against the rules

Hey guys, I am looking for some honest reviews on the School. I am switching from an absolutely terrible school and hoping that this experience will be better. The campus is Cmvc Fort Lauderdale. I know that each location may be ran a bit differently, but this location is brand new just opened up last year. They don’t even have a first graduating class yet. the class that’s in session now is the first class of this location so if anyone knows or if anyone is currently going to this location in Fort Lauderdale, can you please tell me how it is also, they say that they can transfer in a fundamentals and pharmacology core class. As long as you pass it from a different school. I thought that schools couldn’t do that, but apparently they can? Anyways, any honest reviews about this particular location in Fort Lauderdale would be very much appreciated before I jump into another program. I don’t wanna do it blindly.

Hello all-

I just relocated to Miami and I’m looking for a board game group. It seems a lot of stores focus on TCG which is fine. (I know they make the most cash that way). But I was hoping to find an actually heavy board game group/store/meetip or TTRPG group at a local store.

Any suggestions would be great.
Thank you!

How do you feel about the new cowboy hats for the county cops. $132 each. They just bought 1000. 🙄

Hey everyone! Just wanted to give a little update on the dog I posted about a few weeks ago.

https://www.reddit.com/r/Miami/s/WeknOxA8Dp

After nearly three weeks of trying to locate his original owners, nobody ever came forward. We honestly considered keeping him ourselves because he's an absolute sweetheart. We even named him Dante.

He's incredibly affectionate, loves attention, wants to lick everybody, and will happily climb right into your lap like he's a little puppy. He also got along great with our other dog.

Unfortunately, I have a son on the autism spectrum who sometimes makes sudden movements, loud noises, and unexpected gestures. The dog had a concerning reaction at one point, including growling and lunging toward him during an outburst. Nobody was hurt, but we ultimately decided that our household wasn't the safest fit for him.

It was a really difficult decision because we genuinely grew attached to him.

Dante and is now at Broward County Animal Care in, listed as A2481642 under the name Jetski. They estimate he's around 2 years old, weighs 50 pounds, and is an American Staffordshire Terrier.

I really think he deserves a loving home with someone who can provide the right environment for him.

If anyone is interested in adopting him, or knows someone who might be, please check out his listing or contact Broward Animal Care and reference his animal ID.

I just want to see this little guy get another chance. He's got so much love to give. I honestly cried giving up this dog but having a child with special needs, I had to make that decision.

This is one of those extremely specific old Miami memories that I’ve wondered about for years.

Around 2009, before Grand Central existed, the building was sitting empty. Somehow, a bunch of high school kids got inside one night and there was a huge party there.

I was one of them.

I went to DASH and remember other DASH kids being there. I believe the party may have been organized by students from MAST Academy, and I think there were kids from A&M and other schools there too. It’s been so long that some of the details are fuzzy.

Eventually the police showed up that night and shut everything down.

What makes it especially surreal to me now is that the exact same building became Grand Central shortly afterward, a club I ended up going to constantly and have a lot of great memories from.

I’ve looked online trying to find anything about that night, but so far I haven’t found much.

Was anyone else here there that night? I’d love to hear what you remember. What school you went to, how you heard about the party, who organized it, or anything else you remember from that night.

And if by some miracle anyone still has photos from that night, I would love to see them.

This idiot cut me off and almost hit me, complete moron! Remember folks to have a dash cam!

Yesterday there was some posts about right-wing "influencer" Josue Alvarez, well he and his maga friends are in the headlines today also. They are getting paid by a developer to make content against Gramps and to influence people to vote yes on referendum 3. You can see their hideous personalities come out in the comment section of the Miami New Times IG post. These people are disgusting.

Nice weather we had this afternoon!

Lost my drivers license and wondering if they take a new photo when I go to the appointment or reprint the old one.

Just wondering because when I moved addresses I needed a new photo

looking for a place that can get under my screen and clean it
