Learning. Fumbling around here for #urbanplanning + #urbandesign, #oceans, #climatejustice, lefty #jews, disableds. On that other site @ same handle. On my own @ https://www.ariaritzfinkelstein.com. She/her.

This new paper on Environmental (In)Justice looks interesting both because it is looking at the marine environment but also because it explicitly looks at the cumulative effects of multiple pressures and drivers.

Something @nasser and I were talking about last night: one way of thinking about freedom is that it takes more work. Redistributing power means redistributing risk and responsibility. When people are no longer beholden to the whims of a corporate platform, they're more beholden to one another. We're seeing people used to just being mad at Twitter for making bad moderation calls face--and make--moderation calls and face the fallout and face being beholden to others.
New commentary from Marccus Hendricks and I examining what we are calling "municipal undergreening," a systemic reluctance of municipalities to invest in green infrastructure in low-income communities of color.

Chuck Jones' nine rules for the #Roadrunner cartoons:

Wondering if anyone has coined the term, Birdchan, yet for the future of Twitter? It slipped out in a conversation yesterday with some university comms folks who are trying to figure out what their social media strategies should be going forward.
My contrarian #writing take? We all use too many periods, especially in nonfiction; look at them all, dozens--scores!--of periods on every page, a vast, homogeneous sea unriffled by em-dashes, ellipses, semicolons, or the much-maligned exclamation point. And to what end? Simplicity? Skimmable prose? I am here for you maximalist punctuaters!

This story from @elizkolbert is like Edward Gorey's The Gashlycrumb Tinies, but more ghastly.

Anyone seeing municipal instances yet?
Or specific agencies (city, state, federal?)
We've closed up our Twitter account. A platform whose owner uses it to bait violent anti-democratic conspiracy theories and engage in overt anti-semitism is not a place compatible with our mission to inform, create accountability, and improve democracy.
