Strengths and Weaknesses
Strengths:
- Civic-minded: Advocates for better transit funding and service, as in their critique of rail-first thinking and push for bus improvements in St. Louis “I'm low key fed up with people who think the only way to improve transit is to build rail” and concern over Cleveland RTA cuts “Cleveland is facing an impending DISASTER”.
- Educational: Uses threads and visuals to explain transit concepts, such as the role of land use “more urbanists need to learn about how land use affects transit beyond 'density'” and service typologies over mode “I think about transit not by mode, but by service typology”.
- Community-builder: Organizes and promotes meetups and panels blending furries and transit fans, like the MFF panel and Blue Line ride “The transit/urbanism panel at MFF is back for 2025!” and local fur walks in St. Louis “Furries take over St. Louis: November edition”.
- Playful-humorous: Balances serious advocacy with light, self-aware humor, such as joking about found puppies discussing mobility plans “They wouldn't shut up about the Transportation Mobility Plan's impact on transit priority infrastructure” and calling a mirror issue “The ghosts in my bathroom mirror”](https://x.com/spd_bird/status/2007636319300911593).
- Cross-cultural-connector: Bridges niche communities (furry fandom, transit nerds, urbanists) by featuring sonas in presentations “Reply with photos/art of your sona walking, rolling, biking, or using transit!” and explicitly inviting furries hosting meets on transit into shared spaces “DM me with your Telegram handle”.
Weaknesses:
- High-intensity-tone: Uses very strong language and caps that can read as alarmist or overwhelming, such as “Cleveland is facing an impending DISASTER” and all-caps rhetorical prompts like “DO YOU HAVE TRANSIT ON YOUR PHONE”.
- In-group-heavy: Relies on inside jokes and subculture references (furry, transit memes) that may exclude general audiences, as in posts like “Transit oriented animal people? It's likelier than you think” and repeated “It's likelier than you think” in-group formats “Furries? In St. Louis? It's likelier than you think”.
- Modeled-bias-perception: Strong anti-rail-dominance framing can come off as dismissive of differing views, such as “'Rail/trams spur development better than buses' is a myth that needs to die” and threatening to “launch” critics of LRV choices “Launching the next person into the sun who says the new RTA red line vehicles are a 'downgrade'”.
- Narrow-topic-focus: Timeline is overwhelmingly transit- and fur-meet-centric, which may limit broader engagement; even personal or holiday posts are anchored in transit, like “If you're cold, they're cold Be sure to keep your red line warm” and Christmas framed around thanking operators “Christmas is the time to thank transit operators”.
- Sarcastic-edges: Uses pointed sarcasm that could alienate those criticized, e.g. calling a view a red flag “'Good urbanism is only possible in a high trust society' 🚩 Translation: I'm terrified of being anywhere near poor people and minorities” and shading agencies or cities directly “some large transit agencies have nothing but 'bus stop' written on a sign (cough cough Pittsburgh)”.
Your Simpsons character
Lisa Simpson
This user most closely matches Lisa Simpson: passionate about civic issues, data-minded, and a little bit of a nerd about their interests. Like Lisa campaigning for better public services, they obsess over transit policy and operations, arguing that cities must run more transit, not just build it, as in “You don't improve local transit by just 'building' more transit” and their focus on funding in “This needs to be a wakeup call… to FUND TRANSIT OPERATIONS”. Their analytical, explanatory threads about land use and bus vs rail, such as “'Rail/trams spur development better than buses' is a myth that needs to die”, mirror Lisa’s tendency to dissect popular myths with evidence. At the same time, they’re earnest and dorky about their hyperfixations—gushing over specific vehicles in “Thinking of her... (the New Flyer XE60)” and joking that “Fast, frequent transit would fix me” in “Fursuit vs hyperfixation”—which fits Lisa’s wholehearted enthusiasm for her hobbies. Their mix of activism, sincerity, and slightly nerdy humor, like organizing transit-themed furry events in “Transit oriented animal people? It's likelier than you think”, strongly evokes Lisa as the best match.
Your MBTI personality Type
ENTJ
They come across as clearly Extraverted: they organize and promote large social events (fur meets, panels, group rides), e.g. “Furry takeover of the STL Metro and a fur walk at Union Station? It's likelier than you think!” and “The transit/urbanism panel at MFF is back for 2025! Saturday 11AM… Blue line ride at 12:30 PM.”, and frequently fursuit in very public, crowded spaces. Their content blends concrete transit details with bigger-picture patterns and systems, showing Intuition: they don’t just show buses, they talk about structural issues like “You don't improve local transit by just 'building' more transit… cities desperately need to also run WAY more transit” and critique myths such as “'Rail/trams spur development better than buses' is a myth that needs to die.”. They lean strongly Thinking: arguments are framed around logic, tradeoffs, and operations rather than pure vibes, for example “What most people forget is that cities desperately need to also run WAY more transit” and their push for funding operations in “Cleveland is facing an impending DISASTER… wakeup call… to FUND TRANSIT OPERATIONS”. Their tone is often direct and debate-oriented, as in “Rail/trams spur development better than buses' is a myth that needs to die” and “Calling mixed traffic streetcars 'light rail' is about as atrocious as calling a local bus 'bus rapid transit'”, which fits the blunt, analytical style of a T over a conciliatory F. Finally, they look Judging rather than Perceiving: they like structured plans and coordinated efforts (recurring panels, scheduled rides, calls to action), e.g. “We’re doing something at Anthrocon 👀 Fri 7/4, 10:30AM…” and “Fur walk at the St. Louis Arch! Saturday 9/27, 5PM meet at Kiener Plaza”, and often talk about how systems should be designed and run rather than just experiencing them in the moment. Altogether, a socially engaged, system-focused organizer who argues forcefully for structural improvements fits best with ENTJ.
Some pickup lines for you
- If you’re ever doing another ‘stupid and silly trip’ for Madison County Transit tokens, can I come along as your plus-one? I promise I’m more valuable than fare media, but I’m absolutely down to be collected. 🪙
- You said fast, frequent transit would fix you—have you considered a date that runs at 10-minute headways, with guaranteed fursuit sightings and a transfer to ice cream at Mitchell’s? That’s my proposed service plan for us.
- You out here defending buses from the ‘rail is automatically better’ crowd, and honestly, same—so how about we prove that strong chemistry is mode-agnostic and test our interoperability over coffee on the Red Line?
- Every time you tweet ‘Good red line morning,’ I’m a little jealous of Cleveland, because clearly that train gets to see you more often than I do. Any chance I can be upgraded to daily service too?
- You organize fur meets on transit, ride Metrolink in suit, and host panels at MFF—at this point you’re basically a walking BRT: Bright, Remarkably Tempting. Mind if I hop on your dedicated lane?

Your signature cocktail
Transit-Oriented Animal Negroni
The gin infused with orange peel and coffee beans represents their bright, hyperfocused energy and late-night transit brain, from “3D modeling airports autism is very real” to “Guess who just made a video on why the bus vs rail debate is incredibly stupid”. The bitter aperitivo stands for their sharp, sometimes spicy takes on transit policy, like “You don't improve local transit by just 'building' more transit… cities desperately need to also run WAY more transit” and “'Rail/trams spur development better than buses' is a myth that needs to die”. Sweet vermouth adds warmth and approachability, echoing their community-building vibes in “If you're a furry looking to host/currently hosting fur meets on transit… DM me” and all the fur-walk announcements like “Furries take over St. Louis: November edition”. The dash of smoked salt nods to the gritty reality of US transit they constantly highlight, such as “Transit enthusiasts like to talk about transit history… but almost nobody talks about what happened to transit between then and today”. Finally, the paw-printed orange wheel captures their fursuit-forward, playful side in posts like “Transit oriented animal people? It's likelier than you think” and “Furries? On the MetroLink? It's likelier than you think!”, making this a strong, slightly bitter but ultimately sweet and charming classic with a very experimental soul.
Your Hogwarts House
Ravenclaw
Their timeline is driven by analysis and curiosity about systems, especially transit. They repeatedly reframe common debates in more nuanced, conceptual terms, like in “Rail/trams spur development better than buses is a myth that needs to die… Jarrett Walker's work should be mandatory viewing/reading for anyone arguing otherwise”, which shows a preference for evidence and theory over vibes. They also build and share conceptual frameworks, for example “One reason people glorify rail vs buses is because many of us are used to slow, local bus routes… Here's how I think about transit – not by mode, but by service typology”, which is an explicitly analytical way of thinking. Their enthusiasm for niche knowledge, like detailing Cleveland RTA stop signage and operator call patterns in “Shout out to Cleveland's red line operators who call stations not by official names but by intersecting street number” and “The fact the Cleveland RTA provides a basic description of service span on EVERY single bus stop sign is insane”, reflects classic Ravenclaw delight in obscure details. Even their humor tends to be cerebral and hyperfixation-oriented, as in “Fursuit vs hyperfixation – Fast, frequent transit would fix me”. While there are elements of Hufflepuff-style kindness in their community-building around transit and furry events, the dominant throughline is a love of learning, systematizing, and explaining complex ideas clearly – solidly Ravenclaw.
Your movie
Your song
Downtown Train - Tom Waits
Tom Waits’ Downtown Train fits them because it’s all about living life through city streets and trains, which mirrors their constant presence on rail and buses like the RTA red line and MetroLink, as seen in posts such as “Good red line morning” and “POV: You're going to Gateway FurMeet and spent $0 on parking cause you used the MetroLink”. The song’s mood of romanticizing urban nights and platforms lines up with them calling St. Louis and Cleveland “fascinating” and highlighting details like Cleveland’s stop announcements in “Shout out to Cleveland's red line operators who call stations not by official names but by intersecting street number”. Just as the lyrics dwell on waiting and watching trains, they obsess over frequency, span, and waiting environments, for example in “You don't improve local transit by just 'building' more transit…cities desperately need to also run WAY more transit” and “Underappreciated importance of transit frequency”. Their playful, slightly chaotic furry transit meets—like “When they say 'try public transit' during a furry convention, this is what happens”—turn the everyday commute into a personal, emotional stage in the same way the song turns a simple train ride into something bittersweet and meaningful. Overall, Downtown Train captures the mix of romance, melancholy, and obsession with city transit that runs through nearly all of their posts.
