The restitution program this monstrous cabal has cancelled is a result of Catherine Coleman Flowers’ work. For shame.

And, by the way, why can't I embed these links in my toot? Admin?

I was interviewed about the public toilet situation in Portland.
Let's convene designers and communities -- again -- to pull together the best ideas in public restroom design, and put them to work.
20 years ago, PHLUSH was born in the collective effort that created the Portland Loo, now installed all over the world.
Post-pandemic -- post public trust -- are there better models?

The first semi-public restrooms in the US appeared in the late 1800s, in bars, to keep drinkers drinking.

For women, the first public gender-segregated "comfort stations" came in the early 1900s; but only for white women.

Those facilities acknowledged women's hard-won right to be out in public.

Now US cities have vanishingly few public restrooms. Does that signal that NO ONE has the right to be out and about in public?
