(Also, I don’t want to get into a whole thing, but this is a common situation — asking a question, and wanting to share the answer with commentary and thanks — in which I really miss quote-tweeting.)

It’s Wednesday. The best medicine to guard against the mid-week scaries is joining the #AskApple Q&As!

Berlin is considering the possibility of a car-free area larger than Manhattan. The citizen-driven plan would create the largest car-free area in a city anywhere in the world.

Leadership can come from many places when it comes to transforming cities. Via #FastCompany

I’m on a mission to stop using the adverbs “just” and “simply” when talking to other people.

I find that using those words can make me sound dismissive and belittling; trivializing of the struggles that someone is going through.

Instead of “Why don’t you just do X?” or “You can simply do X”, I want to say “Have you tried doing X?”

Mississippi is America’s Blackest state. It’s mostly white MAGA Govt annually rejects $1B in Federal $ for Medicaid. Now the last hospital in a rural part of MS is about to close—devastating Black & low income people.

MAGA racism & cruelty on full display. Like the old saying goes. Republicans claim government doesn’t work—then they get elected and prove it.

We are going through the teething problems of moving from centralised control to federated choice.

We are trained over years to shout loudly & quickly online when we suspect an injustice, often without appropriate investigations, because that's the only way to have a response from the large centralised organisations owning the space.

I will never understand why people are so averse to diversity.

I like seeing trans people speaking to each other with idioms I don't get, cute girls speaking a language I can't recognize, or gay dudes priming and posing in random pics.

Seeing shit that is not for me makes me feel like I'm part of a much bigger world that still has space for me to learn and grow.

That's a big place of comfort for me. The bottomless nature of the human experience means we all have space to be fully who we are.

That's pretty cool.
