Apropos of... "We began this chapter by noting how often the expansion of ambitious polities, and the concentration of power in a few hands was accompanied by the marginalization of women, if not their violent subordination." --Graeber and Wengrow, The Dawn of Everything (2021), p. 433-4.

If walking costs you $1, we all pay $0.01. If biking costs you $1, we all pay $0.08. If bussing costs you $1, we all pay $1.50. If driving costs you $1, we all pay $9.20. Via @thediscourse study. This isn’t just about choice. It’s about who pays for your choice. #citymakingmath

I am seriously considering not flying into the USA in the future. BTW, this is straight out of the right-wing playbook: decimate a govt. org. that does good work, claim that the reason it's no longer doing good work is b/c "it's the govt," then privatize the org. www.cnbc.com/2025/02/17/t...

I'm just a girl, standing in front of the fourth estate, begging them to stop reporting on "scandals" and instead cover the destruction of American democracy.
