the best way to put it is that these people are not *voters*, if the term denotes a person who routinely goes to the polls to cast a ballot. they are, instead, *trump fans* who go to the polls to cast a ballot for donald trump, who is their parasocial father

Cars/trucks are a lot bigger and heavier and dangerous than they were when we were kids.

Full-sized SUVs are pedestrian killers.
New research finds that they're more than twice as likely to kill or seriously injure a pedestrian than other cars. (Notably, vehicle height—not weight—was the biggest risk factor.)

We hope so too. Thank you to the brilliant Maggie Knight for putting into words what so many of us are feeling.
“Someday they will ask me what we did about the climate emergency. We tried so hard, I will say. We knew, we organized, we pushed for change. I hope I will be able to say we finally came to our collective senses.” Maggie Knight writes. 🌎

municipal governments arguably have the largest direct impact on your life — and it's also where you as a voter have the most power — and yet municipal elections reliably yield the lowest turnout. just 36.6% in Vancouver's 2022 election! come learn about the people who will shape your city's future.

Picnicking rain or shine tomorrow! We’ve got a big tent. Both literally and figuratively.
Our July potluck picnic is coming up, and we're still celebrating Pride :-) Hope you can stop by! We'll be over by the running wolf sculptures in the shade.
