The connections being drawn between the Cornell 7 and Brock Turner bring up something crucial: The outrage at Turner’s insanely light sentence has ultimately made it impossible for him to blend back into society. Where legal redress failed, community stepped in to make sure no one would forget.

In a massive dataset of over 10,000 cities around the world, the strongest association with distance travelled by cycling was not climate, topography, or even infrastructure - it was *gasoline prices* doi.org/10.1073/pnas...

Figure 3 from "Global health and climate benefits from walking and cycling infrastructure" by Adam Millard-Balla, Monisha Reginalda, Yasmina Yusufa, and Christopher Bian. The figure shows factors associated with distance travelled by cycling and walking, arranged in order of effect size. For cycling, the largest effects are gasoline prices, GDP per capita, rail service, steep terrain (negative effect), minimum temperature (negative effect), population density, and bicycle lanes. For walking, the largest effects are population density, gasoline prices, bicycle lanes, and maximum temp (negative effect).

Fig. 3 Caption: Factors influencing active travel. Each coefficient represents the impact of a one-SD change in each variable on the share of kilometers traveled by cycling (A) and walking (B). For each city-level variable such as density, the model estimates a separate coefficient for each country. The shaded area shows the distribution of country-level coefficients; for density, for example, the effect on walking ranges from about zero to ~0.11, excluding one outlier. For country-level variables such as gasoline prices, there is only a single coefficient. Variables are ordered by the size of their absolute effect in the median country—density and gasoline prices have the greatest impact on walking and gasoline prices and income (GDP per capita) on cycling. The minimum temperature variable shows the marginal effect of both the linear and squared terms.

One might expect climate to have a major impact on active travel, and many studies highlight the impact of weather on daily and seasonal travel decisions (9, 25). However, in our model, there is a negligible association between precipitation and the mode shares of walking and cycling. Hotter temperatures decrease walking but have no effect on travel by bicycle. Colder temperatures only reduce walking and cycling in colder climates (SI Appendix for further Discussion). At the national level, gasoline price has the largest association with the share of travel by active modes. A one-SD increase in the price per liter (equivalent to US $0.40) is associated with a ~1.0 percentage point increase in walking and a ~0.5 percentage point increase in cycling—notable given that the mode share of cycling across the entire dataset is just ~0.9%. These findings echo a large volume of research that shows how vehicle travel declines in line with rising fuel prices (26). Gasoline prices also have an indirect effect in promoting denser, mixed-use development (27).

Union of Legal Workers for Trans Liberation @ulw4tl.bsky.social · 19/09/2026

UPDATE: Layoff negotiations end in just one week, and one thing is clear: A4TE management is intent on laying off a specific group of Union members.

UNION FOR
TANS LIBERATE
LAYOFF NEGOTIATIONS END IN JUST ONE WEEK, and one thing is clear:
A4TE management is intent on laying off a specific group of Union members.
After a month and a half of negotiations, multiple cost-saving proposals from the Union,
SIX voluntary separations
(3 union, 2 director, and 1 confidential employee), and two involuntary director layoffs, management's potential layoff list of 12 bargaining unit members remains unchanged.
Read More →

On 9/16, management once again rejected the Union's proposal for tiered salary cuts for staff making over $130k.
Instead, they proposed the CEO take an 8% pay cut—but only if the Union agreed to a salary freeze for all staff.
The worst part?
They said this salary freeze wouldn't save any union jobs.
Read More →

During our all-staff meeting yesterday, 9/17, management told staff for the first time in that they were working on a proposal that included salary cuts for management making over $155k.
This shocked us.
Communicating this counter in an all-staff meeting before bargaining is blatant direct dealing and an unfair labor practice.
We hope management follows through on their promise of salary cuts for the highest-paid managers in our organization, but these proposals must be communicated during bargaining. Most importantly: they must save Union jobs!
Read More →

STAKE ACTION
This is your last week to make your voice heard before a dozen trans people get official notice that they will be laid off.
PLEASE EMAIL: a4te@transequality.org and comment on A4TE's social media.
Urge them to implement the Union's cost-saving proposals instead of laying off nearly half of our union.

I think the people who keep pointing out that Obama opposed gay marriage aren't really making a direct correlation with what is happening with trans rights today. The debate is over TAKING AWAY existing rights. So it would be more like Obama supporting recriminalizing gay sex.
