The Holocaust did not begin with killing; it began with words.

Genocides do not start with mass murder. That's where they end up.

Genocides & other mass atrocity crimes begin with words - specifically, with powerful people dehumanizing a minority.

Once they are seen as less than human, anything is possible, even mass murder.

People talking about Twitter..

Sound on 😅

After a couple of days on #Mastodon I’m very impressed & excited to be part of this growing community! #mastodonmigration

My only humble suggestion is that it needs more tardigrades aka "water bears."

Tardigrades have survived every mass #extinction on Earth since they evolved about a 1/2 billion years ago. There are ~1,300 known species. And millions of years from now, they won’t even notice we’re gone. #SharedPlanet

In 2007 Ljubljana's mayor moved to make the city center car-free.

Since then:
- Driving share of city trips ⬇️ from 58% to 39%
- Walking share of trips ⬆️ from 19% to 35%
- Air pollution ⬇️ 70%

Now 97% of residents want city center to remain car-free

People protested when this capital city went car-free. Now they love it

For many cities, going car-free still feels like a distant pipe dream - but in Ljubljana, it's been a reality for more than a decade

When I rise up
let me rise up joyful like a bird.
When I fall
let me fall without regret like a leaf.
