Recent immigration actions harm disabled immigrants and people with disabilities. How? Summer Internship Program alum Rachel Litchman writes about how people like her rely on home- and community-based services (HCBS). https://ow.ly/1F2c50XW9xX

it’s come to my attention that my tumblr post has been crossposted to bluesky, so I’m posting it on my account here #AntiAI #GenAI

Here's the adult vaccination recommendations as of Nov 2024. Why did I save these? Because I knew someone was going to try to stomp on this, and not today, Satan. Not today. #CDC #vax #vaccines #getvaxxed

Many soles lost at sea

Not now, haunted Victorian shoes

GenAI allows these guys to do what they do when drunk and ganked up at office Christmas parties, at a mass scale. We're *all* there cringing while they lean in and excitedly slur their messed up shit at us while we're uncomfortably unable to disengage.

GenAI being fundamentally based on a rejection of consent is obvious, but it's not as obvious that it destroys the inhibitions of the people who already reject consent. It makes them act in public the way they used to only act when cornering their employees by the punch bowl or in their office

Zohran Mamdani explains that thousands and thousands of New Yorkers are already eligible for free and reduce public transportation, but because of the bureaucratic hurdles they never get enrolled in the program. That's why he wants to just make the bus free.

People using transit deserve dignity and this isn't it.

John Oliver really was not kidding about the overwhelming rebellious power of just saying “Fuck you, make me.”

lol. Shout-out to all y'all claiming you use this thing as a therapist.

"Only 1.5% of the older people with reduced mobility in our study – just 17 out of 1,110 participants who had an average age of 77 – could cross the road faster than the 1.2 metres per second walking speed that is programmed into many UK pedestrian crossings."

I guess it's fitting that it's a reimagined, worse version of someone else's artwork

Accuracy is a big part of accessibility.

It's time once again for my annual #treebybike post. This is the 12/19/42 cover of @newyorker.com, so one full year after the attack on Pearl Harbor. This would be the first real Christmas alone, or without a family member, for millions in the US. Gas and tire rationing had begun earlier that year.🗃️

Will continue to bang this drum: this is the system university admins are cramming into every aspect of education. This is the system we are told “isn’t going anywhere” so we all have to adjust to it.

BTW, what happens when you install a protected bike lane (where no bike facilities existed) between some of your densest residential neighborhoods (Dupont Circle and north) and the bit of downtown that hosts a huge university and an alphabet-soup of international orgs?

This looks like it’s a bikelanesweeper.com

New dream job just dropped

Rush hour traffic in Utrecht. Sound on 🔊 if you want to experience that rush hour IS possible without the constant, deafening noise of cars overpowering people talking.

Mulled cranberry juice, mulled apple cider, a selection of hot teas (hi, it's winter in Vermont).

The sound of evening rush hour in Utrecht. A minute of pure relaxation! 👌🏼

I heart bike buses

Happy I-Forgot-to-Put-A-Taillight-On-My-Bike-for-the-Newly-Dark-Ride-Home Day to all who celebrate

Every church should be doing this, and if your church isn’t, you’re at the wrong church.

Several restaurants in Maine have announced that they will offer reduced cost & free meals to members of the community who will be facing hunger due to SNAP benefits not being sent out in November. List of restaurants & what they are offering are in the thread below ⤵️

Alt-text for the chart: "Hoo boy, Americans kill a lot of kids with their cars each month of the year, but they kill roughly three times as many on one single day each year: Halloween."

It turns out learning to ride a motorcycle in your driveway is an excellent way to meet all your neighbors.

In which it's hard to tell which is creepier: the image or the alt-text. (I love this).

Everything is bad, but books are good. Get a book. Read the book. Cherish the book. Finish the book. Tell your friends about the book, and leave a review of the book. Hold the book close. Listen to what it tells you. Do as it commands. Place it on the dread altar and let it guide your every choice.

We love this remix, and are already shaking our behinds to the sound of turning pages LFG!

Hi @npr.org! We worked late tonight putting together this handy pocket guide! It doesn't address road design issues, but if we're going to educate road users, we should include drivers. It's the size of a folded business card. Print it, fold it, put it in your wallet!

Don't apologise for your dog showing up during the Zoom, apologise for hiding him all this time

And the alt-text is POETRY.

Wild how normalized the words "safe parking lot for unhoused schoolchildren" have become in this country.

RFK Jr just buried a big report on the link between alcohol and cancer. Luckily, @smencimer.bsky.social had written this a few years back:

And mine, as an official Short Adult. This is blatantly ridiculous.

“The rise in high-fronted SUVs poses a clear and growing threat to public safety, especially for children,” states the report. “With no benefit to society, it’s time for lawmakers at all levels to act.” Via @carltonreid.com in @forbes.com. Cap SUV/truck hood heights. And ban unsafe designs.

If we really want to “make America healthy again,” we’d have Medicare for All.

I am calm. I am breathing deeply through my nose. I am counting to ten. I… WHAT, ARE YOU AFRAID YOUR DOG WILL INFODUMP TO YOU ABOUT THE FUCKING BALL?!?

When people scoff, “What’s next, hauling injured people on a bike?!” remind them: Ambulances get stuck in traffic. Medics on bikes, with the right infrastructure, can cut through gridlock and start lifesaving care sooner, buying you precious minutes before the ambulance arrives.
