*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.
PSA: remove fascist graffiti and stickers
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.
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
