"In Latin America and the Caribbean, wildlife populations fell by 95% [in 52 years, and] 80% in Africa..." How do you even compute such whirlwind annihilation of nature? *THE* best thing we can do to alter such trends? Shift towards more plant-based diets. www.theguardian.com/environment/...

Yet another brilliant piece by @katemanne.bsky.social. "Education is, in the end, an individualistic and shallow response to a deep and structural problem. And it mistakenly identifies false beliefs rather than bad desires as the problem."

It’s remarkable how many people can move on a street when those people don’t feel the need to always take a massive car with them. Mobility in cities is about space.
Busy European street with buses filled with people in a long line of people on bikes, waiting for the light to change in a separated, protected bike lane. Imagine if all those people or each in a separate car.

It should be a scandal, the way ME/CFS and Long COVID patients are treated. Millions and millions of people. Most of us are too tired to effectively advocate, which is why it’s such a relief to see real attention. Help this break containment!

what i thought we had distanced ourselves from was the reduction of women to vaginas and wombs and the ability to bear children. i thought we had progressed past 'dresses are for women and pants are for men. i thought we progressed past the idea that someone is less of a woman if she does not adhere strictly to beauty standards. i thought we progressed past the idea that naturally being comfortable adhering to highly feminine standards is vulgar. but i (sarcastically) guess no one could have predicted that trans-exclusive feminism would be the downfall of all the progress we've made

The notion that confrontational approaches had failed and indeed contributed directly to Trump’s victory was widely presented as self-evidently true. From there, commentators jumped to the conclusion that the only “reasonable” response was to switch to friendly coexistence instead.

There is some evidence to suggest that drivers pass a bit closer when a cyclist is wearing a helmet. Seeing as drivers are the primary threat to my safety when I'm cycling I don't wear one. It's six of one half dozen of another though, really.
