I work in the arts in Adelaide, South Australia. I ride a bike, I sometimes take photographs, and I will probably post about The Beatles.

Absolutely inspiring. I’d like to live in a city that invests like this.
“Paris has embarked on a grand transformation, planting 155k trees, adding hundreds of kms of bike lanes, pedestrianising 300 school streets and banning cars from the banks of the Seine. Parking has been turned into green space…Fewer parents fear their child being run over when they walk to school.”
How Paris swapped cars for bikes – and transformed its streets
Under Anne Hidalgo – mayor for 12 years until last week – the French capital added bike lanes, cut traffic and reclaimed public space, but not without resistance

The moment a drone or missile whistles nearby, 🇺🇦 women instantly become a shield for their children—covering them with their bodies, holding them tightly, covering their eyes and ears, comforting them. Every Ukrainian mother, sister, & grandmother is always ready to become a shelter.

It’s remarkable how many people can move on a street when those people don’t feel the need to always take a massive car with them.

Unlike Macklemore, these support acts don’t have big followings and they are giving up their chance to perform to stadiums to push back against censorship, not of themselves but of a fellow artist. Respect.

Jaywalking a completely American construct, based on industry lobbying, which doesn't exist in law in UK. We are free to run into traffic wherever we like (except motorways). But pedestrian casualties are lower here because drivers have to take responsibility.

If walking costs you $1, we all pay $0.01. If biking costs you $1, we all pay $0.08. If bussing costs you $1, we all pay $1.50. If driving costs you $1, we all pay $9.20. Via study that still underestimates climate cost.
