I biked to school solo in WestTX til I could drive

In the 90s, WestTX kids had a normal city life

My own kids walk/take transit to school solo since ~age 12

Today: Feels profoundly weird to hear from friends (in TX) whose kids dont get freedom til a grandparent donates a car (💀) to use at age 16
Depressing to see 13 years ago we made a series of important @streetfilms.bsky.social about the decline of safe streets & sidewalks that allow children to go to school and meet for playtime.

Simply our kids have LOST THE FREEDOM TO ROAM! @urbantruth.bsky.social @openplans.org @nyc.streetsblog.org

I'm OTG in HC & FB counties... Talarico has strong backing from what I can tell based on canvassing.

Haven't heard anyone inc' strong leftist talking about 3rd parties.

I worry about westTx and panhandle.

Agreed, turnout will be key!

This was my bias of a comment. But WestTX gas is cheap, gas plants/generators can be built & online very quickly compared to most other power gen, which is why they need the regulations cleared, & soon they'll need the federal land for the water. Trump said in the announcement, "Drill baby Drill"

I was just a girl from Midland, #texas #westtx fascinated by the world around me. My love of history and anthropology paired with my penchant for geophysics landed me a job at #nasa in New York City.

and yes-- the big bad C-L-I-M-A-T-E word is where those fields intersect.

My research was […]

Don’t forget Canada ships most of the oil that is processed for Gasoline used in the American Midwest (60%). American Refineries are built to use the Heavier and Cheaper Crude. So if we went to WestTx Crude we could suddenly see California Gas Prices in the Heartland all due to Trumps Tariffs!

And I realized in that moment, that my coach in middle and high school of Blast FC in Midland #WestTX - was probably that last Haitian to score during #fifa1974

At 16, my westTX public school teacher explained to the class that we wouldn’t be learning about evolution bc she didn’t believe in it

That denialism drove me to pursue anthropology which, partnered w geophysics, yielded my pursuit of climate science

Earth science is for the observers
