I don't own a car. I take public transit everywhere, and I do think personal vehicle use has real environmental costs. But I don't think driving is inherently unethical.
I live in Seoul, and the city makes transit easy for me. That's not a virtue. It's a condition I happen to benefit from. Some people live where transit barely exists, or where it doesn't get them to work, school, or care. In those places, driving is not optional.
The same is true of flying. In parts of Europe you can cross borders by train. In island nations, or in places with weak land connections, flying may be the only realistic option. “Just fly less” means very different things in those places.
A lot of what gets called my ethical choices comes from the conditions I live in. That makes me wary of turning structural failures into personal morality. If the alternative is missing or unusable, shaming people for not choosing it solves nothing.
When environmental harm gets framed as individual moral failure, attention shifts away from the structural changes that would actually matter. It's not an accident that oil companies spent decades popularizing the idea of the personal carbon footprint.
Just like how some people get irritated they can’t park just anywhere in a city, I get deeply irritated that I can’t ride transit in many places
Garrett WollmanHmmm. Interesting to compare the March #MBTA board "decarbonization" presentation with the much more extensive one from the prior week's safety, health, environment committee meeting. The full board version drops all mention of commuter rail, which is 47% of the MBTA's carbon emissions, and also omits discussion of the diesel heater issue. cc @scribblesonnapkins
abadideaextremely mad because my relative in American prison has let me know that from now on, instead of being charged once per book or per song and having the files added permanently to his account, he's going to ALSO be charged by the minute to read or listen to music on the tablets that are the only things they're allowed to use.
reminder that paying prisoners (vastly) less than minimum wage is legal in the US because they're defined as an exception to anti-slavery laws.

Alice Averlong🏳️⚧️I'm 19 months into unemployment due to illness, and I just got a letter that my earlier payment for storage didn't go through, and I have until the 1st to pay 2000$ or they're auctioning off my storage, which has 12 years of games & retrotech.
Any help you can spare would be amazing.

😀🚲Thanks to the help of people here (and on tumblr & blusky) donating, I was able to cover the electric/storage/car, but I'm still out most of my food money and I need to pay to settle my lawsuit from the credit card company, so any help would be appreciated!
