Memes: If You Can’t Beat ‘Em, Join ‘Em

Who would have—or could have—guessed that the simple meme would become one of the most influential forms of communication in the 21st century.

Memes have tipped elections. They’ve instigated riots. They formed public health policies.

They’ve actually done a lot of harm, usually by boiling down complex ideas into the simplest possible forms, stripping the conversation of nuance and appealing to our base sensibilities and lazy preconceptions.

So, of course, I thought I’d make a few too.

‘Cause screw it. If memes are how we want to talk to each other—if this is our battleground—then I’ll join the fight.

Let’s have the conversation where people are. The meme-verse.

So without further ado, here are my memes. Public transit. Cycling. Driving. Walking.

All the stuff that we deal with every day trying to live in a FreeMoveCity.

(Oh, and hey—try to guess which one got me suspended from Threads! Comment your guess below.)

Steal ’em. Use ’em. Ignore them. Comment below and call me cringe.

All good.
