“Dutch people cycle an average of 2.6km each per day. If this pattern was replicated worldwide, annual carbon emissions would drop by 686 million tonnes. This mammoth figure exceeds the entire carbon footprint of most countries, including the UK, Canada, Saudi Arabia and Australia.” @euronews.com

Cycling like the Dutch would slash the world’s carbon footprint

If everybody cycled like the Dutch, we could offset the UK or Australia’s entire carbon footprint.

@kajord That data though! Jokes aside, it's barely tolerable when you're in an area with decent EV infrastructure. But when you're in rural areas with one charging option for the next 20ish miles that forces you to get an app, and then there's an inexplicable failure to connect, it warrants […]

Cis women, If you have some sort of "Women's Group", or even just a circle of women who go and get lunch together, intentionally and explicitly invite trans women. A lot of us are reluctant about proactively inviting ourselves to places that we might encounter TERFs.

I did that mainly because I didn't want to catch an infection *from* a sick patient, but now that I've come down with some […]

Mastodon image shares (vis #Tusky app) to Snapchat is surprisingly flawless. I found a #comic panel, opened the image to view, hit the share button, and selected an existing Snapchat convo. Bloop! Posted the image directly in the thread. That's wildly convenient and well-designed. It also […]
