“What makes biking dangerous is all the cars. What makes the bus so slow is all the cars. What makes driving a car so slow is all the cars. What makes everything too far away to walk is all the space we have to reserve for the cars.” 🚗 🚙 🚗 🚙 #biketooter
I don't recall any articles suggesting that Trump needed racial or gender balance for his VP pick.
this was such a paradigm shift for me! I never realized how much we as cycling advocates were impacted by this one crazy old white guy! @TheWarOnCars is a treasure https://mastodon.social/@TheWarOnCars/112848004047068859
So unhappy.
Southwest felt like one of the few egalitarian spaces left. All the seats are the same, and all passengers use the same seats.
Now Southwest wants to extract more money for premium seats. Yuck.
(I know that you can pay more for early boarding. The vibe when boarding, though, still feels like we’re all pretty much the same.)

“In supposedly affluent Western nations, the dire state or absence of public toilets has become a universal nightmare, impacting the health and quality of life of all of us, but particularly for marginalised groups.” https://psyche.co/ideas/public-toilets-are-vanishing-and-thats-a-civic-catastrophe
@elienyc: "The Democratic Party is about to run a Black, South Asian woman against a white supremacist former president. It’s about to run a person whose parents were immigrants against a xenophobe who supports mass deportations. It’s about to run a woman who prosecuted sexual predators against a sexual predator who has been judged to be a rapist. ." Damn straight.

Skip to 19 minutes, and just soak in some Kamala Justice, don't we all feel a little lighter?

airtag can notify me if:
- left behind

I joined The League of Women Voters yesterday. This weekend I’m attending a Democrats of Harris County campaign kick off event to see where there are places I can help.
And if there are none, my wife and I have decided any money we can spare will go toward Dem campaigns. One we’re looking at is how close we could be to finally ousting that cowardly, piece o’ shit Ted Cruz who ran to Cancun when Texas fell into that deep freeze a few years ago.
This is an incredible story and had I been born in a different generation might have been my story as an academic. I'm so grateful to the women that came before me in academia, allowing me to be able to have both a family and my academic career. Congratulations Dr Fowler, so very overdue and so very well deserved. https://www.theguardian.com/science/article/2024/jul/22/physicist-rosemary-fowler-honoured-doctorate-75-years-after-discovery
