Ahhhhh thank you for this I have been cross-checking with the longer-term federal numbers to get a handle on what, e.g. a winter peak looks like. This will be so helpful!

It would definitely be great if more folks knew about them! It is delightful that adult tricycles exist.
And those are great for the folks who can use them. Not all of us can. (I have no idea what the argument in favour of e-bikes but against e-shoes would be. This is all about increasing options, and there's no sense I can see in pitting them against one another.)
And if you are one of the millions of people who can walk but poorly or painfully or only a little, this may, perhaps, prove enormously helpful. Again, nothing here is a binary. The capacity to walk is not binary.
So do people with mobility issues who are not capable of riding them! So do older folks who want to stay keep up with their grandkids on walks! Bikes are great, but this isn't an either/or. Supporting accessibility is a primary use case here.

Something I've been thinking about for a long time: Domestic thrillers now make up a huge share of scripted film and TV. While historically they symbolized women's oppression, more recently they resonate as a metaphor for a society where everyone fears enemies infiltrating their safest spaces

So much beauty and heart in this, by @johannawinant.bsky.social — perhaps most of all in its depiction of teaching as a practice of taking your students seriously. www.bostonreview.net/articles/the...

It is so demoralizing. Not feasible for most outlets (requires staff and $) but in theory I think one answer is doing full fact checks — and emphasizing that up front. Make it clear work will be subject to sufficient scrutiny that faking becomes more risky and hopefully the fakers will move along.

Fuck. I am so sorry. If there are things friends can do…
Become an empiricist about yourself — observe what actually gives you joy, meaning, connection, vs the things you assumed would. Install those things at the centre of your life even if that looks different than you thought it would. It is SO NORMAL for it to look different than you thought it would.
My people invented a whole ritual for this (i.e. shabbat) and while I am agnostic, as a practice I will absolutely say it has a lot going for it.
It's true as far as it goes, but the piece glosses over another IMO near-fatal drawback: the in-class options just do not cultivate the same depth of thought, skills at reflection and revision, etc., that take-home assignments done over a period of days or weeks do.

I regret to say that there are also still many orange sticks. They are so bad.
Interested if there will be a recording?
Amazing. Ann Telnaes just won a Pulitzer Prize for her work at The Washington Post --- which she resigned from after they refused to run this cartoon.
It was a wild time all around.
I did not know this story! ❤️
In an interview with the CBC, Fanjoy said it came up sometimes at the doors but wasn't a key issue.
The labour piece of this also tends to get forgotten, I think. I work at a desk and walk as my primary form of transportation — and I experience it as physically restorative because otherwise I’m sedentary. If I worked retail or as a nurse? Zero spoons for active transportation.
