*Slaps roof of road closed to private automobiles* this bad boy can fit so many buses, bikes, kids playing, walkers, wheelchair adaptations, light e-vehicles, café tables, delivery wagons, pedestrians, flower planters, street performers, light rail systems, benches, public artworks, … really, why am I even using this meme template

Imagine an action crime drama movie. The main character is a renegade cop. His partner plays things by the book and tries to reign in renegade cop, but there is not stopping him. He takes extreme measures to bring the perp in. The movie climaxes with an incredible car chase, gun fire, and numerous body bags.

But after the climax, when the perp goes to court, he is released because the renegade cop isn't a hero, and his partner was right about all that procedural bullshit. It exists for a reason and he is just a bad cop.

CW your Afghanistan posts, please.

Whether yours, or Twitter reposts.

Can't believe I'm having to say this, really.

White supremacist, racist and fascist imagery (graffiti & stickers) are on the rise, and it's everyone's job to take a stand against it.

Fascist Propaganda emboldens fascists and must be destroyed, covered or removed! Keep an eye out for propaganda around your town. Some tips:

* teams of 3 keep each other safe.
* bulk sticker packs are cheap and effective propaganda cover. Group buy them with friends!
* shake spray paint in cars to hide the noise.

It's happening

I participated in a research study to assess barriers trans and non-binary people face when managing their menstruation from the Columbia University Mailman School of Health. They have released the final version of a brief, 3 page document of “Recommendations for Providing Respectful Menstruation-Related Care to Transgender and Gender Non-Binary Patient Populations” to provide guidance to healthcare professionals. I received a PDF of this document today, please let me know if you would like a copy of it or if you know healthcare providers who this information would be useful to, and I can direct the researchers to connect with them for more details. This may also be useful to those advocating for practices in the workplace.

You can find the paper for this study, "Improving menstrual equity in the USA: perspectives from trans and non-binary people assigned female at birth and health care providers" here: https://www.tandfonline.com/doi/full/10.1080/13691058.2021.1957151

Does anyone have thoughts on hCaptcha? Gitea gets absolutely flooded with spam signups without a captcha, but I'd really like to make registration open again

So apparently Delta in Florida is so bad, health officials are asking residents to "Consider other options before dialing 911" due to infrastructure strain.

Meanwhile there was a furcon last weekend. In Orlando. What the hell were they thinking?

I'm seeing so many people reporting they caught it while there. So many. People who were vaccinated are like "Why did I catch it? I'm vaccinated".

We really need better education on how this shite works.
