If you want to add to the website, I’m looking for:
- New Articles
- Improving Website Layout
- Rewriting Existing Articles
- Screenshots of Interesting Tweets
This website is a work in progress, and it won’t feel complete until it truly covers everything it needs to. My hope is to turn it into a one-stop resource on walkability—a place where anyone can come to learn. Whenever a fresh idea emerges in this community’s research, I’d like to see an article written for it here, explained in simple, everyday words that everyone can connect with.
Each article should take 2 minutes to read, or less, and cover the basics as if speaking to any regular person for the first time about the subject. The tone must be calm, unpolitical, absolutely zero anger, and with a loving “spark in the eye” humour. If you can do that, or rewrite existing articles to match that tone, then I am highly seeking you.
This site is intentionally apolitical and focused solely on walkability—no other topics, no matter how related they might seem, are ever to be mentioned. That’s by choice. My aim is to help make this world a more liveable place. This matters to every person, and because of that, it’s important to approach it with openness and understanding for everyone.
If you’re someone who can bring a deep well of expertise, wrap it in clear, conversational English, and share it with a gentle, patient teaching voice, I’d love to hear from you. Please feel free to send me a direct message on X.

Submitting Tweets
Just DM it to me, here.
It’s enough to just DM the screenshot. You don’t have to say “hi” or anything unless you wanna. I’m looking for really specific things, so take no offence if I don’t end up posting it. It doesn’t mean I didn’t like it, but it does mean it doesn’t align with the aim of this website.
What I am looking for:
- Short tweets, can be read in seconds
- Very hard hitting
- Virality/meme worthiness
- Images or diagrams that make you go “huh”
- Tweets which teach, speaking for ordinary, curious people
- Lacks political terms (“car brain”, “YIMBY”, etc)
- Not repetitive to the tweets I already posted
- No anger, or minimal anger necessary to make the point
But yeah if you got something, go ahead and send it. At worst I’ll share a giggle or smile with you :3
