Our Labour government is effectively making political refugees of trans ppl and their families who flee and seek safety overseas. It’s shameful.

Sort of insane fact about how broken US urban planning is—America now spends more building *just the lights for roads and highways* than on all subways & ground mass transit combined Spending on roadway *pavement* is 18x transit spending

We went and found the Lego sukkah. It’s in Oak Park, MI, and it was built by Menachem R., with help from his nieces and nephews. During the Jewish holiday of Sukkot, you build a booth and eat meals outside in it. They’re usually made of wood but he got funky with this one!

Cars have daytime running headlights, but not daytime running taillights. Why is one important for safety and not the other? I wish cars would automatically turn on their headlights when the wipers were on (since lights are required in most places when it's raining) and yet they don't.

The town where my Opa's family came from was very welcoming when we laid Stolpersteine for them. The excuse for this—victims' families might object because people can walk on victims' names—is bullshit. These get laid because victims' families pay for them. If they object, it doesn't happen.

This is going to hit some universities really hard and probably the Boston area in general. At Northeastern, international students account for 44%! International students generally pay about 2x what domestic students pay so this is potentially a huge drop in revenue.
