@holly @notjustbikes something I absolutely did not know: Amsterdam's bike infra only happened because of a huge amount of protest, community activism, and decades of organized political pressure by road users.

for whatever reason, I just assumed that transit was always that way there.

it wasn't! and the government only did it begrudgingly as a response to citizens.

@hacks4pancakes I have a pet theory about that 👇

@horse Thank you so much for recommending this! I've tried three other chinstraps without any luck and this one has finally freed me from having to tape my gob shut every single night :ablobcatheartsqueeze:

@horse @xabean @Da_Gut @tinker Could I ask what chinstrap you're using? I've tried a few with no success and would love to stop having to use mouth tape.

@dingodog19 @inthehands I think it's also appealing because it's a one-and-done "solution" instead of:

1. Appraising the situation as accurately as possible.
2. Understanding challenges and goals.
3. Choosing a course of action that strikes a balance of cost and benefit appropriate to those challenges and goals.
4. Verifying how effective the action has been by restarting the process.

Unless you're not only willing, but also open to having new facts alter your thinking, doing this is difficult if not possible. It requires the humility to recognize past-you made the best decision you could given the information you had, what you're trying doesn't work, and if you still want to resolve the issue at hand you have to change tack.

Increasingly, too many people have the same problem. Their minds are concrete: Thoroughly mixed up and permanently set.

@tarajdactyl This is important work that will make everyone happy and free.

There's no two ways about it.

Every good parent is fighting an indomitable adversary.

I only wish the people that yelled "But, Our Children!" also listened to them, loved them, and supported them as who they are.

@goatsarah Couldn't agree more! The fact that posts were shown as they were made rather than jumbled around by an algorithm really helped get actual up-to-the-minute information rather than whatever had the most engagement.
