Everyone you meet is fighting a battle you don't know about. Unless they're fighting a horse-sized duck. Then you probably know.

Grateful that my local coffee place is outdoors, in rolling distance for me and walking distance for the staff (some of whom even help me get there/back). Community innit.
There was an old tweet that stuck with me: "If you can easily walk to the coffee shop but your barista has a one hour commute, you don't live in a walkable 15 minute city; you live in a theme park"
as someone who lives nextdoor to both supportive housing and public housing, i need people to understand that the best locations for both are going to be the central neighborhoods in a metropolitan area, where there is easy and reliable access to services and jobs.

It's International Day Against Homophobia, Biphobia and Transphobia - and just 3 days ago it was revealed that the UK is now one of the more difficult places in Europe to live as an LGBTQIA+ person. A sobering reminder that our rights can never be taken for granted. #IDAHOBIT2025

Having deleted all my T accounts I now can't find or access any of the wonderful work Heavy Metal Handcyclist did, does anyone on here know the minimum recommended unobstructed width on pavements? I'm having a chat with a councillor about some interestingly placed 1980sish lampposts.

One of the most intriguing & misunderstood street design and place-making ideas in the world is the Dutch #Woonerf, or “living street.” When I studied woonerfs while working for the City of Groningen, I learned the key is street design that makes it impossible to drive faster than people can walk.

Thank you so much for the support over the last week, sorry I haven't updated much - sickly kittens need round-the-clock care.

“My 18-year-old daughter was at Starbucks, alone, the other night.
A man came up to her and started talking to her.
A barista handed her “an extra hot chocolate someone forgot to pick up.”
How grateful I am for people who look out for other people!”
