Another example of media failure.

This extremely wealthy woman was drinking, driving 80mph in her Mercedes, and killed two young boys w/her car in front of their families—but media portrays her as the victim.

This is how media normalizes white supremacy. Unacceptable.

I've been trying to slowly wean myself off twitter. I downloaded my archive, etc. in preparation for cutting the cord, but still can't seem to quit entirely. Twitter works as designed. Well, this morning, one of EM's tweets ended up in my feed. I made the mistake of reading comments, the majority, incredibly hurtful. A lot of my fellow human beings are really awful, maladjusted people. I think though, it was the push I needed to leave for good.

I didn’t realize that the Dutch fought for their bike lanes. There’s a lot of history within this that I’m currently naive about but excited to learn!

Here’s the article I’m starting with — How the Dutch got Their Cycle Paths: https://www.pps.org/article/how-the-dutch-got-their-cycle-paths

'How the Dutch Got Their Cycle Paths'

The extensive cycling infrastructure of the Netherlands didn't happen by magic. It was the result of a lot of hard work, including massive street protests and very deliberate political decision-making.

People grumbling that #Mastodon is slow at the moment... You just turned up with 1 million people in a tiny, rural village and you're complaining there's a queue to get into the only tearoom, which is run by gay pensioners Babs & Maureen as a retirement hobby on Mons-Weds. Relax!
