Thanks @billmckibben.bsky.social for your take on our new book, "Life After Cars."

www.lifeaftercars.com
Quote with yellow border and white car with flowers growing out of it at the bottom. “The car may be the feature of modern life we take most for granted. But as this brilliant book makes clear, we should be asking deep questions about whether we want to keep shaping our communities and our lives around automobiles: We’re ready for the shake-up these authors inspire! — Bill McKibben, author of Here Comes the Sun

It's a goal of mine to help make this the most famous, well-known and UNDERSTOOD quote about cities in history. Please share it as much as you can.
Key quote from the great Lewis Mumford in 1955 — “Adding car lanes to deal with traffic congestion is like loosening your belt to cure obesity.”

Canadians stand with Rachel Gilmore. The Conservative government, whose actions and rhetoric have put her in harm’s way, must take responsibility and act immediately to ensure her safety. This injustice cannot be
ignored, and it must be rectified.
NOW. #IStandWithRachel

this iconic advertising copywriter named Kathy Hepinstall Parks died over the weekend and I wanted to share something from her website I thought Bluesky would like
Why should I write better when a machine can do it for me? Because actually no one can do it for you, because your voice is unique among all the people on earth. Siri never petted a horse's neck. Alexa has never been ghosted by the captain of the football team. But you have lived, your heart is beating, you have suffered, and you have something important to say. It's a human's job, to use words, and whatever job you give to a machine, that part of your brain goes dark. Maybe it's worth it when it comes to remembering phone numbers and directions, but when that part of your brain that uses words goes dark, that's a vast area that's very close to your soul. Don't let some internet platform convince you that what you have to say and create isn't worthwhile. Words are the echo of your soul. Honing that echo matters.

Canada, while you’re sitting here feeling relieved but still watching results, why not take a moment to connect with @fairvote.ca and the quest for proportional representation?

This is your periodic reminder that the main goal of manufacturing and marketing EVs is not to save the planet, but to save the auto industry.

Covid infection can cause lasting cognitive impairment, memory issues, clinical anxiety and depression, obsessive behaviour, brain fog, PTSD-like symptoms, insomnia, increased risk of psychosis, mood swings, heightened stress responses.

And that's just a taste.

Wear a mask.

The New York Times is giving a murder their “both-sides” treatment. What the hell is the matter with you?!? Someone kills a person with their car, and your reaction is to be like, “Some people think murder is bad, but others don’t like bike lanes, so 🤷‍♂️.”
Death of Cyclist in Paris Lays Bare Divide in Mayor’s War Against Cars Paul Varry was run over on a city street in what prosecutors suspect was a deliberate act of road rage, as bikers and drivers choose sides. It sent a shock through Paris, a city striving to transform itself into one of the great cycling metropolises in the world: a bicycle rider, crushed under the wheels of an SUV in a bike lane just a few yards from La Madeleine, the landmark neoclassical church, in what prosecutors suspect was a deliberate act of road rage. A murder investigation has been opened, and last week, Mayor Anne Hidalgo led the Paris City Council in a minute of silence for the cyclist, Paul Varry, a 27-year-old who was also a cycling advocate. Ms. Hidalgo, a member of the Socialist Party, delivered an emotional speech in which she signaled she would continue to roll out her famously aggressive policies that aim to drastically reduce the role of the automobile in Parisian life. “I am truly angry,” she said. “The future does not belong to cars.” An outpouring of emotion over Mr. Varry’s Oct. 15 death has put a spotlight on the dangers facing cyclists in a city that has seen an explosion in bikes and cycling lanes in recent years. But it has also underscored the frustrations that motorists increasingly feel in a place that has chosen to limit the movement, speed and parking options of cars. In recent weeks, as cycling organizations, spurred by the death of Mr. Varry, have demanded more protections from aggressive drivers, others have complained about Parisian bikers themselves, some of whom have earned a reputation as dangerous risk-takers.
