I’m a Black environmental writer and historian of Mexico and the Americas, and I just started a Substack! Check me out there @roguechieftan

@humantransit I've been on BlueSky for a while now and I feel like my experience there is always improving. Main downside is that it doesn't seem to have had much international uptake yet. Main upside is polite interactions and never stumbling across neo-Nazi shit.

If I left this site, would you follow me at:

@Trafico_ZMG Quieren ir por López Mateos y Av de Las Rosas? Ni lo piensas!

Saturday night question. Can you think of a song from a band you like with a guest vocalist, that doesn’t sound forced or weird, sounds like it’s just meant to be? The wonderful Tindersticks with the fabulous Travelling Light, for instance youtu.be/zFfOgtTEji4?si…

Policía regresaron a buscar armas, división que capturaron a un hombre

@GNocturnaMX Hace unos momentos: Policía en pie con pistolas, camionetas y motos moviendo rápido en Fracc. Camino Real por calle San Luis Gonzaga, en dirección de Av Sta Teresa de Jesús

@MovilidadZap que bueno que Sta Catalina de Siena ha sido repavimentado! Pero, por qué no instalaron una ciclovía? Hay amplio espacio, y este calle es una conexión clave entre Av Guadalupe y Av Labna / El Colli. @gdlenbici

@stylianos_k Not if you want easy access to COVID vaccines though 😭

How to keep democracy alive in 2025: 1. Be Brave. Avoid helpless/hopeless talk. Authoritarians want you to feel powerless because it makes their work easier. Courage, faith, and optimism are essential. Fascism feeds on cynicism and pessimism. Starve it.

@100YearsAgoLive The dream survives in Mexico 😆 "Emergency Slide" from a daycare in Chapala, Jalisco 🇲🇽

A new way to flee fires: in South Dakota, several schoolbuildings are installing fire escape slides, which allow students a fun flight as they escape the flames.

Nevada’s secretary of state, seeing high number of rejected ballots in Clark and Washoe, says one of the biggest issues is that the signatures of younger voters don’t always match what’s on their driver’s licenses: “It’s mostly the fact that young people don’t have signatures these days. And when they did register to vote through the automatic voter registration process, they signed a digital pad at D.M.V., and that became their license signature.” nytimes.com/live/2024/11/0…
