Especially re local and state policy issues, this platform seems to get minimal engagement. If any #clt or #nc folks have their ears on, please let me know if I'm missing something.
Thanks

We have wanted to have @drtaragoddard.bsky.social on forever! Her research cuts right to the heart of how cars change our behavior and make us treat each other with less humanity.
NEW EPISODE: "How Cars Change Us with Tara Goddard." Why do people behave so badly behind the wheel of a car? Why do reporters use passive language to describe traffic violence? @drtaragoddard.bsky.social joins us to talk about her fascinating research.
