Are people panicking about the symptom, when the cause a greater problem?

I don't think people fully appreciate how apocalyptic things are for US science. I haven't had any new funding since 2024, but I'm still ok since typical grants are for three years. This means next year I will be completely out of funding and will have to fire everyone in the lab. It's not great.

It is illegal for me to ride on the sidewalk in MA as a disabled person who uses an e-bike.
I'd be genuinely fine with that if I wasn't regularly almost hit/run off/yelled at to get the fk off the road by local motorists and there was actual continuous infrastructure for me to actually get around.

This is so disheartening. Safe streets should not require "consensus." We don't require consensus for other safety measures. Just do the right thing.

Paris said au revoir to cars. Air pollution maps reveal a dramatic change. Air pollution fell substantially as the city restricted car traffic and made way for parks and bike lanes.

“Air pollution fell substantially as Paris restricted car traffic and made way for parks, people-streets and bike-lanes.”

Better for the climate, better for health, better for livability and quality of life.

Common sense.

Such a no-brainer, it’s remarkable that more cities HAVEN’T done the same.

Uuuugh 🤢

The Discussion

reshare for alt text, republicans and rich people who want to privatize mail have been lying about the USPS and trying to push this narrative longer than I've been alive, and imposing massive financial burdens on it to make it "insolvent"

Our communities and our planet deserve better.

144 calls to my reps since I started tracking them in 5Calls, at this point a little over a year ago.
Today was a call against KOSA, and urging for trans rights and safety and protection.
