X is not the answer. These days, even more than before, it is part of the problem. We need solidarity, the idea of labor is expensive. Don't give up the fight! youtube.com/watch?v=Dwbzxe…

I was able to graduate from a great state school that only cost $50 a semester. It opened a million doors for me. But that same opportunity simply isn’t available today. Why? Because our government has hacked away at higher education funding and left students to pick up the bill.

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

So glad you had community, in the US we underestimate its importance so much.

There are 2 billion parking spaces in US, 7 for every registered vehicle & nearly 4 for every living human. Defending that parking — against homes for humans, against safe streets for children, against transit and bike lanes, against climate action — should not be our priority.

Tell you what, I'm sick of these welfare payments being handed out to those who don't know how to manage their resources.

We've been conditioned to believe the welfare state is a form of socialism when, in fact, it is a feature of capitalism. When land and the means of production are placed in private hands for profit (as they are under capitalism), the masses are rendered landless and homeless..

STUDY: Walkable neighbourhoods don’t just support physical health (& lower public costs, reduced pollution, climate change mitigation etc), they also support social connection/health as well (other studies have connected physical exercise & mental health). sciencedirect.com/science/articl…

We detect patterns indicative of p-hacking (upward discontinuity in the density of z-scores at the 5% significance threshold z=1.96 & excess mass of results right above) for *primary outcomes* of non-preregistered trials but not for preregistered trials. (3/5)
