This should be the default greening of all "hellstrips". Definition: A hellstrip is the planting strip between the sidewalk and the road in front of a property, often found in cities and suburban areas. It's usually planted with high-maintenance grass.

The "greening" of Paris continues. In this block, along upper Rue de Maubeuge, all the parking spaces were recently removed & replaced with lush plantings & water penetration sidewalk pavers. #paris #15minutecity #urbanism #climatecrisis #greencities #climatechange #globalwarming #climateaction

This made so much more sense when someone reminded me her husband is in parking garages and she got hired to represent Trump when she was a parking garage lawyer.

There are two people in Congress-the chairs of the Senate & House Appropriations Committees-who have enormous power over the illegal impoundment of funds appropriated by Congress, which is sowing chaos across the US. They need to be relentlessly contacted at their offices, in person and by phone. 1/

"If you disagree, don't retaliate. Don't be violent. Don't try to hurt your neighbor. We're all human," he said. If your side would start doing that for immigrants, POCs, and trans kids, we'll talk. Until then, fuck all the way off with your demands for sympathy.

I think I heard @drtaragoddard.com call it The Exonerative Tense. But yeah, much more interested in the killer's driving record than the victim's wardrobe.

They do have a penchant for rewriting international borders around property they like. The Supreme Court made him a king, but he's acting like an emperor.

Don’t just say DEI as if it’s a bad word. Spell it out. Say diversity, which is the lifeblood of American society & culture & innovation. Say equity, which a just society should pursue. Say inclusion, because decent people believe in increasing belonging, not isolating people who are different.

Just finished "The Dawn of Everything - A New History of Humanity". I did not see getting (further) radicalized by an anthropologist and archeologist coming, yet here I am.

I don't think people realize just how much cars cost us. It's way more than gas, insurance, and payments. Violent, blunt-force trauma isn't the only way cars kill.

It’s VERY important that #Vancouver’s Downtown Business Association, who were originally against downtown bike-lanes, are now among their most vigourous supporters, because of the evidence that they are better for downtown business than any street parking they replaced. Bike-lanes mean business.

#BoycottTheSuperBowl If Trump is going to attend the SuperBowl, and they’re going to remove the “end racism” from the end zone, because our president is a fucking racist. Then I will not be watching this year.

Few material things can provide perspective. This does for me. Photo of Otto Frank, returning to his family’s hiding place. In 1944, an informant betrayed them and the family was sent to Auschwitz. His wife (Edith) was murdered, his daughters (Margot & Anne) died of Typhus.

"Most drivers do not come to a complete stop and instead roll through the red light, creating a safety hazard for pedestrians in the crosswalk. States should allow cities to prohibit right turns on red as the default practice." www.smartcitiesdive.com/news/right-t...

Despite the many obstacles to riding a bicycle in our cities, people still do it. An absolutely incredible testament to the efficiency and joy of this simple and beautiful movement.

A friend in Germany who works for a cancer research institute just told me they had to cancel a symposium on their work because the NIH rep from the US is no longer allowed to talk about their work. It's genomic cancer research. Nothing "woke" or DEI. What tf are we doing?

Their faith lets them worship power while they’re offended by mercy. It’s not Christianity they’re practicing.

Now is a great time to read WIRED magazine’s 2015 feature story, “The Untold Story of Silk Road.” There were good reasons why Ross Ulbricht was serving a double life sentence. www.wired.com/2015/04/silk...
