The impending doom of late stage Capitalism keeps me up at night. Climbing is the only thing keeping me sane.
it can't really get more dystopian than "you are required under threat of punishment to help fund your own destruction"
finally, Wendell Berry's standards for technological innovation--truly as relevant now as they were in 1987 #othernetworks

Your reminder that sex work is work. There are many reasons someone may do sex work, and all sex workers deserve safety and respect. Yes this account is pro sex work. No, there won't be any debate about it.

One of the biggest disinformation campaigns ever applied to cities involves the constant claims that “driving pays its way.” It’s actually MASSIVELY subsidized, while things like walking, biking, public transit & supportive housing for the unhoused actually SAVE PUBLIC MONEY. #UrbanTruth

A lot can happen in 57 years.

In 1969 the corrupt President Nixon was president, the U.S. could not afford universal healthcare but did find the money to go to the moon while waging a war in Vietnam.

In 2026 the corrupt President Trump is president, the U.S. still cannot afford universal healthcare but does find the money to go to the moon while waging a war in Iran.

This is regarding the birthright citizenship case that's gone to SCOTUS. This is the Solicitor General. It is enraging to read this.

What the fuck is "American citizenship" and why is it a "gift"? )These are rhetorical questions; I know what the subtext is of this because I live in it, even though most Canadians probably don't believe in this and our government isn't currently flirting with the idea.) People from Europe came to this hemisphere and settled on its land and decided to establish the concept of "citizenship" here on the premise that once white people are born here they do not need to prove themselves as belonging on the land, or the land belonging to them. The extension of this to non-white people was gradually, with much resistance, eventually applied, and naturalized citizenship was established too. This was turned into a PR campaign about freedom and equality that makes our countries better than others. And now they're explicitly saying that they never believed that.

I'm not surprised but I'm enraged just because this thing I already observed is now at the forefront of my mind. I understand that it's part of white privilege to only get this way when they say the quiet part out loud; the people they don't think are entitled to the "gift" know this every day. But I'm pointing this out when it is brought in front of me, just to make a note that this exposes the hollowness of the values we claim make a free society.

Fuck fascism, fuck the state, borders are violence, citizenship is a scam.

“Even as the cost of infrastructure for active transportation is being used as a reason for inaction, evidence is accumulating that when the full economic cost is considered, driving costs society more, while cycling and other forms of active transportation save society money.”— @[email protected]

Bike lanes don’t cause congest...
Bike lanes don’t cause congestion, cars do

If our premier and HRM mayor truly want to demonstrate fiscal responsibility they’d build those bike lanes faster, because the cost of car-centric infrastructure is unsustainable.
