My favorite sculpture at the Met: a harp player sculpted of marble almost 5000 years ago at the dawn of civilization in the Cyclades. It looks shockingly modern. Shockingly!

If you don't understand the pressure so many disabled people are under to just shut up and die already - real, continual pressure, without hyperbole, from 'care' systems, medical professionals, benefits officers, politicians, 'compassionate' friends/family/even strangers - what are you doing?

I have asked the Chair of the Equality and Human Rights Commission to come to Brighton, and today Brighton came to me with so many stories of how the EHRC Code of Practice is impacting them. Trans lives are already being harmed, and the EHRC needs to hear this.

Image is of Siân with three staff members from Refuge UK. They are stood smiling in Westminster Hall in the Houses of Parliament. A crowd of people is visible in the background participating in the mass lobby for trans equality.

Image is of Siân holding a notebook and pen. She is stood in front of desks, staffed by people in high-vis jackets. A placard is resting against a table and reads: Trans people deserve real equality.

“One mile on a bike is a $.42 economic gain to society, one mile driving is a $.20 loss.” “Which means that Copenhagen, a city of 1.2 million people, saves $357 million a year on health costs because something like 80% of its population commutes by bike.” #CityMakingMath Some costs are savings.

I also think future NEET is the wrong lens (though appreciate it’s the one he was tasked with!). A child in primary who is struggling needs support *because they are struggling now*. You don’t need to pin some future nebulous outcome on it to make it important.

This whole thing has always fallen apart at this hurdle. Either a trans woman being in a women's bathroom is INHERENTLY unsafe, which fuck off no it's not but also how would you screen for that? OR Unsafe behaviour in a women's bathroom is unsafe, which is true but not trans specific.

A street grid is resilience. Building neighborhoods full of cul de sacs creates unavoidable choke points. If an exit is blocked by fire or cars that crashed due to low visibility, people can die. If your terrain is not steep, build a street grid. If not, build foot/cycle path escape routes

Aside from its many other problems, the idea Fauci was America's power-abusing covid dictator is somewhat complicated by the fact that he never had the power to do the things they're mad about. His recommendations bound nobody and were not particularly rigorously followed by the actual policymakers.

Propounding a cause isn’t about winning an election. It’s about expanding the scope of social imagination, which expands the scope of practical possibilities, which changes many other things, including but not limited to what positions and candidates (and even slogans!) can and cannot win elections.

To carry 50,000 people per hour in each direction, a city needs a 175m wide road for cars. Even if those cars are electric. And then there’s all the parking. OR a city can move A LOT MORE people in a lot less space, with A LOT LESS public money, emissions, pollution, noise etc. Choices. Simple.

Graphic showing a 9 m wide track for metros can move as many people as a 175 m wide, 7 lane road for cars.

“In Finland, the number of homeless people has fallen sharply. Those affected receive a small apartment & counselling with no preconditions. 4 out of 5 people affected make their way back to a stable life. And all this is CHEAPER than accepting homelessness.” IT SAVES PUBLIC MONEY to house people.

I remember one argument in high school so clearly--having the distinct thought that "don't kill people if you don't have to" is so basic, so foundational, that I barely know how to argue for it. It's like an atomic unit of morality, it can't be divided into parts. I found myself stunned to silence.

Agreed, but I do wonder if we shouldn't be trying to take a more dispersed view of power generation? Car Park solar seems an interesting case. EVs want power. Car Park solar would have power. I'm not saying they could stand alone, but with storage & an indirect grid coupling, is there a solution?

This is such an important point: we rightly bemoan the ‘corporatization’ of higher ed but the irony is that many of the corporate managerial practices being imposed on us were discredited and abandoned by for-profit corporations long ago.

Screenshot from Glenn O’Hara’s article, with the following text highlighted: “ Heavily metricised, buried in audit and groaning under the weight of paperwork, no one seems to have told universities that these techniques were tested and found wanting by most private sector companies in the 1980s and 1990s, and by the UK’s central government in the 2000s and 2010s.”

A typical European car is parked 92% of the time. It spends 1/5th of its driving time looking for parking. Its 5 seats only move 1.5 people. 86% of its fuel never reaches the wheels, and most of the energy that does, moves the car, not the people. Sound efficient? HT @ellenmacarthurfdn.bsky.social
