Just 1.5 more lanes bro

I will take literal moutains over cars

In the original author's defense, I will make the expression "an excess of men" part of my vocabulary

Even if all of the purported harms to children caused by social media et al. were real (which they are MOST DEFINITELY not), the collateral effects of this would not be worth it

Just interviewed with CityNews @citynewstoronto.bsky.social!

Will be live at 11:00PM EST tonight!

Also video and possible article will be available tomorrow, so excited!

Same here in Toronto, also famously not the most clement weather. They've been making the most minor of investments in bike infrastructure and the number of cyclist increases every single year

How is "dark" even a problem for biking 😭😭😭

A screenshot of an article from The Dispatch. The headline reads "Trans Issues Are No Conspiracy," with the subheadline, "The public pays attention to trans issues because trans activists wanted them to." It is categorized under "Society & Culture."

Jesse Singal is back on his transphobic bullshit by arguing that the trans rights backlash is self-inflicted and that anyone pointing to coordinated right-wing funding is peddling a "conspiracy theory." It's a masterclass in false dichotomy and victim blaming.

My god

95%!!! And not even "Have you ever..." but *recently*!!!!! Jesus fucking Christ

See what's funny is that I was like "hell yeah intellectual freedom" because I thought we'd finally overcome the idiot's (=conservative) notion of "intellectual freedom", but alas

Paris transformed its streets by prioritizing people over cars. 🚲

More bike lanes, fewer cars, greener spaces — & a healthier city.

Well, the beautiful thing about our shitty electoral system is that 39% of the vote is still easily enough for reelection 🙃🙃🙃

Surely??????

Considering how many aneurysms I had while reading, surely this is ragebait?

Okay now that I went from "baffled" to "into it" (took about 15 pages), the book is "Sensory Experiments" by Erica Fretwell

Wow its actually crazy just how closely the idea of perceptual sensitivity is linked to "intelligence" (derogatory; as used by eugenicists). Obsessed with this book ngl

... children on the basis that they allegedly had unresponsive nervous systems— were impervious to feeling—and therefore were incapable of self-directed improvement."

To the surprise of absolutely noone (hopefully):

"Kyla Schuller persuasively argues that in this era, sentimental biopower turned impressibility into a vector of racialization; a host of institutions disciplined black and indigenous men, women, and ...

Fechner (via the author): "Nervous sensitivity is a neurophysiological condition, an unregulated state of feeling that arises when a person’s nerves are so receptive to external stimulation that they are overly affected by an susceptible to environmental influence."

highly relatable

Surely she'll turn it around and reveal that she means a specific historical version of psychophysics or something?

"this forgotten science"

reading a book that talks about psychophysics in the past tense, as something that used to exist 😭

Preprint: "Our findings indicate that SARS-CoV-2 maintains high household transmissibility and requires substantial medical resources in the post-pandemic era." (Over a third of Covid transmissions in the study occurred before infected people showed symptoms.) doi.org/10.21203/rs....

Its always funny (sad) to see how biases (classism mostly, I guess) lead business owners to rail against urbanist measures that would BENEFIT THEIR BUSINESSES

I live right on Church in that area and oh my god have we needed this for ages!!!

I love that the candidates now have a whole section on their vision for VSS! I literally don't care about your publications, I just want to know what you intend to use the position for!!!

Es peor. Your current doctor está mirando cosas en chatgpt en vez de en fuentes solventes a no ser que sea un neoludita como los que vivimos en un pueblo de galos que resiste al invasor.
