Is anybody watching the (Phil) “Spector” documentary series on Showtime? Jesus, the way men have been killing us has changed very little over my lifetime. The same tragic story.

I'm curious about the extent of political diversity in the mainstream Fediverse.

If you're in the U.S, which is the best match for your political identity?

Please boost.

My heart is tired and broken today. This year, we have lost so many people due to our own leaders caring more about themselves than they do about us. Mass shooting after mass shooting. Hatred, racism, anti semitism, transphobia, homophobia, unending violence. Enough. Please.

My tiny neighborhood is fighting back against corporate colonization with air quality and traffic sensors installed by neighbors near homes and schools, and it seems like this might begin steering legislature https://www.consumerreports.org/environment-sustainability/amazon-delivery-warehouses-air-pollution-environment-a7628165441/ #ASmallGroupOfCommittedCitizens

What future generations of humans need is for today’s humans to get honest with themselves about the character of the society they live in and the ways that their psyches and identities remain invested in its exploitative, supremacist systems.

Seen several "put content warnings on politics" posts and I don't know how to tell white people that 90% of all life is politics. You're asking people to hide the stuff you find unpalatable and that's not a reasonable thing to expect other people to do for you.

Listening to #ThisLand podcast about #ICWA and the pending #SCOTUS case about the Indian Child Welfare Act. We need to pay attention. We must ensure that Native American tribes can maintain their sovereignty. This is another case where the Supreme Court might reinforce white supremacy and build conservative power. #brackeen https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/this-land/id1464954218?i=1000532151307

This mass shooting in Colorado Springs is horrifying and exactly what LGBTQ organizations and leaders have been warning would happen if the violent rhetoric toward our community continued. This is what happens when hateful propaganda goes unchecked.

The behavior associated with violence against the LGBTQ community is fueled by the pretension that hate speech is free speech.

🤔The Elizabeth Holmes sentence has uncovered a bunch of secret abolitionists and decarcerators? Am I getting that right?

Or is this another case of "We only notice that things that happen to (innocent!) Black folk every day are horrific when they happen to (guilty!) white folk"

There are 500K people in jail today, locked up in pre-trial detention for up to 4 years! They're disproportionately Black, locked up because they can't afford bail.

Why city planning needs diverse perspectives.

Touring possible commuter cycling routes.

What I saw - Smooth pavement. Separate from traffic. Shade. Not too busy. Perfect.

What my female partner saw - Blind corners. No lighting. No escape routes. Too few users. Wouldn’t use this route.

If you can believe it, this picture of the Paris Catacombs was taken in the 1860s. Can you imagine how hard it would have been to get down there and take photos (and find your way out again) without electricity? The photographer was Félix Nadar (see reply below).

If you’re interested in the history of the catacombs, we talk about it in Episode 18 of the Dirty Sexy History podcast.
