@alaina_pitt @bobbyfijan Like. The family friendly location of the cookIng/eating program here is key. Parents tend to spend a lot of time in the kitchen. They are often grumpy about how isolating it is and how much time it all takes, so the kitchen needs all the windows and sunlight.

Most of us at some time in our lives will suffer from a catastrophic health crisis which will make us feel isolated and afraid. But it is as if we want to believe that we live in a world of many healthy and well-functioning people. We do not.

Universal childcare.

Ten years ago today, 20 children & six educators were killed at Sandy Hook Elementary.

A decade later and school shootings are worse and active shooter drills are the norm.

Our children deserved better then and they still do now. We will never stop fighting for a safer future.

@TransAlt You’re making momma proud! Amazing tool. We’re a long way from the primitive crash mapping we did for the Bronx Safe Routes to School in the 90’s that first empowered us to share our community organizing resources with neighbors and parents beyond the “usual suspects.”

I spent the last six months developing https://t.co/ohGb5DCWk9 with my colleagues at Transportation Alternatives and MIT -- imagining how New Yorkers could use the data therein to bring inequities directly to their representatives...

Buttigieg is talking about the epidemic of traffic deaths and notes by comparison the years of zero passenger airline crash fatalities: "It's not luck. It's the FAA"

Frog put the cookies in a box. “There,” he said. “Now we will not eat any more cookies.”

“But we can open the box,” said Toad.

“That is true,” said Frog.

Teen girls need spaces that incorporate their own needs. To understand what these needs are and how they can be met through our built environment, we highlight three European organizations and individuals below to navigate how to build spaces for teen girls, too. 🧵
