Olá! Sou um desenvolvedor de software em Porto Alegre que adora andar de bicicleta. Aqui vou escrever sobre bicicleta, mobilidade, café, programação, e o que mais me der na telha.

Took me quite a while, but I finally finished @adapalmer.bsky.social's "Inventing the Renaissance". What an amazing book, one that I'm sure will change how I see the world, past, present, or future.

Downside: now I want to become a History student.

The truth is, biking is dangerous to pretty much all of our most oppressive political systems. So to suppress it, we make biking artificially dangerous to riders — we don't build the bike paths, we spread lies about how much they'll cost us, we stigmatize this basic, democratic form of movement.

It would cost *minuscule* amounts of money and lost driving time to put a bike path on every single dangerous road in your city, at least relative to how much you're already spending on car infrastructure. But they won't do it because they recognize that *everything would change if they did.*

when you think about it, the sheer amount of misinformation, defunding, stigma, and general bullshit people throw at bikes is a pretty good testament to what a powerful tool they are to change the world, and how deeply they could threaten our most toxic power structures if we let them.

34.881 pessoas morreram em sinistros de trânsito no Brasil em 2023, segundo cálculo do IPEA publicado no caderno Atlas da Violência.
5º ano seguido de aumento deste número.
É urgente reduzir as velocidades das vias, democratizar o viário urbano e regulamentar melhor os aplicativos.

CARO, QUENTE, E DEMORADO. Essa é a situação do transporte público no recife. Muita gente precisa pegar 2 ou 3 ônibus para chegar aos destinos e a verdade é que a tarifa zero não é uma utopia.

Bicicleta pra mim é meio de transporte, é uma forma de se conectar com a cidade ao meu redor, e também uma maneira de me exercitar.

We desperately need a new way to think about the future. But first, we must journey 12,000 years into the past, to discover where our idea of "the future" comes from. In my latest for @newscientist.bsky.social, I take you there. www.newscientist.com/article/mg26...

Just finished reading @adapalmer.bsky.social Terra Ignota books and I’m nothing short of stunned. These books will stay with me for the rest of my life.

When in doubt, go for a walk.

For best results, walk next to a protected bikeway on a traffic calmed street so you can admire people’s bikes along the way & worry less about getting hit by a driver at every intersection.

Look, I'm gonna say it again: how do you think people are going to find out about your stories if you DON'T say anything? Magic? Psychic powers? Oh, maybe the story will FLY through their WINDOW and land on their DESK!

Yell about your stuff! And other people's stuff!

Readers do not have ESP!
For those writers out there who feel nervous about promoting your work and potentially screaming into the void, let me just say: it works! Whenever I see a little bump in downloads/sales for past issues, it tends to coincide with one of that issue's writers talking about it somewhere. Don't be shy!
