I am interested in how people advocate for a shift away from car-centric infrastructure. I write about design, UX and stories of freedom of movement from a genre and literacy studies foundation.

go.bsky.app/FvouhGQ I’m always so astounded that I dropped so deeply into thinking about freedom of movement that I landed in street design.

We now have anonymous billionaires paying the wages of American troops.

Does anyone see the problem?

1 in 3 US community-service nonprofits lost government funding in early 2025.

These organizations run food pantries, deliver job training and offer mental health services. They provide independent living assistance, disaster relief and emergency shelter, among other services.

1 in 3 US nonprofits that serve communities lost government funding in early 2025

Federal funding cuts are destabilizing many food pantries, homeless shelters, mental health clinics and other nonprofits, threatening the services they provide.

If the Democratic Party weren't already captured, they would offer disciplined messaging about the demolition of the White House (and the fed government thru DOGE) and Epstein files along with seating Adelita Grijalva and: judicial reform, election rigging, public goods, tariffs, corruption, etc.

The hardest miles I’ve ever biked were between Amsterdam and Haarlem on a windy day. At one point, I thought I would be blown into the water.

In this post and the responses, I wish I knew how much money is being spent on the IT people, the iPads, the Learning Management Systems, and what data is being collected by companies like Canvas, data that they can then turn around and sell. I want a comparison of LMS costs versus books.

I wish we could also have the data for who the respondents would categorize as “people.” And the data for what they categorize as acts of “kindness.”

I help people- who have let their whole psyches become specialized and compartmentalized by the culture we are embedded in - learn to forge a better negotiated relationship to their intuition by listening to & sharing dreams.

No Kings Rally in Virginia. It was a really good turnout.

A person holding a sign that reads “no kings. Only queens.

People standing in the shade listening to speakers on court house steps. Sign reads “freedom of press, speech, assembly.

People dressed up in retro costumes. No kings as their hats. Standing with a person in striped overalls with a sign that says unpaid peaceful protester.

An adult with a toddler. The adult is carrying a poster.

Yet another view of the Netherlands' busiest bike intersection, made possible, in part, by an extraordinary bus network & no cars.
#Utrecht

Nog een blik op het drukste fietsknooppunt van Nederland, mede mogelijk gemaakt door een buitengewoon busnetwerk en het ontbreken van auto's.

During the AIDS epidemic a gay church in the Castro recoded its services for people too sick to attend. When We All Get to Heaven is a podcast that tells their story, and it drops Outward from @slate.com tomorrow (Oct 15th).

Title: OUTWARD presents WHEN WE ALL GET TO HEAVEN

The title is over a picture of a people in casual clothes at a choir practice, who are facing a choir director whose back is to the camera. The choir director is in jeans and chaps.

Q: Politico reported on a group chat of young Republicans. Does this just reflect some bad apples?

HOCHUL: Some bad apples? These are the future of the GOP. This is so vile it's hard to find the words to put into context ... there's gotta be consequences ... this bullshit has to stop.

The U.S. Chemical Safety Board — the agency that investigates chemical explosions to prevent future disasters — is shut down and may soon be eliminated entirely.

Scientists who study chemical disasters say this dangerous move will save the federal government a mere $14 million.

Refinery fires, other chemical disasters may no longer get safety investigations

Because of the federal government shutdown and proposed budget, key federal investigations may stop, including into what happened at a Chevron refinery in California in October 2025.

Just bone chilling. And when the imprisonment of critics is combined with his offer to enrich and immunize his loyalists, this is how democracies die fast.

But it's still our choice. Don't let him silence you.

“I think Comey’s indictment is momentous because it tests a principle that has protected American democracy for 50 years: Presidents should not direct prosecutors to charge their political enemies,” according to a law professor who studies legal ethics.

I feel like a broken record, but I have to keep saying it over and over again: a farmer bailout won’t do much of anything because the market is gone. There will be no incentive to plant next year.

The bailout will help payoff farmer debt to the banks. That’s all.
