@MadPolype я в год! но мозг надолго уехал 😂

@loadsofmilk Я же мать-ехидна, сбагрила их в сад в полгода)) Это помогло!

Я смогла ответить на вопрос о своих хобби быстро и без упоминания детей! Это прогресс, возможно, я ещё стану снова человеком

This video is for @fordnation, @PrabSarkaria and all others saying bike lanes "stop emerg. vehicles from getting to their destination". They *allow* emergency vehicles to get to their destination, as seen here on Adelaide. They were designed with emergency services in mind.

@CeliaBedelia @oekoforfuture This is so sad, and so stupid. I don't get how this many people in the US/Canada still support building for the car :(

I posted response to another person, but here is a brief explanation: I've lived in multiple cities and states in the U.S., and it's often just not possible for kids to go to school or go shopping alone due to the lack of readily available public transportation and the way the infrastructure is designed. Many areas don't have sidewalks, bike lanes, or safe crossings, and instead, there are major highways and roads everywhere. For example, when we lived in New York, my kids would have had to cross a literal four-lane highway to get to the nearest grocery store—and it was 4 kilometers away. So, it's less about thinking it's "too dangerous" and more about the practical challenges of getting around in many parts of the U.S. I hope that helps explain it a bit!

My sons had some friends over this afternoon, and they all watched Home Alone together. When Kevin walks into the grocery store and the cashier gives him that weird, suspicious look, one of their friends—who’s German and had never seen the movie—asked, “But why would she care that he’s at the grocery store!?” My son, trying to explain, said, “Well, he’s like 8 years old.” And she replied, “And?? If my parents left me alone, it wouldn’t be a problem to shop or do whatever. I can take care of myself.” I guess I forget that the whole “being left home alone” thing in America is a very different experience from in Germany. 😜 And it really is a fact that when I see 8 year olds shopping alone at the grocery store here, I think: “Yeah, this is normal.”

@RUBICON41 @J__train13 @Ad3pt117134 @harshahahaaha suburbs are bad for my mental health, and there's no middle ground between suburbia with 1 family homes and car dependence and super-high-rises, I want to have a choice! I want 3-4-5 storey buildings with things within walking distance!

@J__train13 @Ad3pt117134 @harshahahaaha No, they’re not there’s multiple studies google’s free besides the fact, if one person makes a mistake an entire apartment complex needs to be evacuated with hundreds of people displaced

Walkable city 🚶

@dronkoff @sanopamuuta @nicebadger ого, я читала где-то заявление министра образования Онтарио давно, я думала, это во всех школах Онтарио вернули! мы в waterloo

@loadsofmilk @sanopamuuta @nicebadger Интрересно. Мои в шестом и их не учат прописям вообще.

Вот это внезапно! Сидели с нашей знакомой, обсуждали школу, а она говорит, что финны не пишут прописью 🤯 То есть взрослые люди пишут только печатными буквами! Погуглил, и правда, с 2015-го не учат больше. Причём взрослые финны теперь тоже часто пишут только заглавными буквами.

@dronkoff @sanopamuuta @nicebadger начали обратно в 3 классе

@dronkoff @sanopamuuta @nicebadger Да, в обычной школе, ребенок начал писать курсивом по-английски

@sanopamuuta @nicebadger Ого! В Канаде тоже отменяли на несколько лет, но в 2022 вернули обратно, потому что исследования говорят о полезности этого навыка!

@nicebadger Теперь понятно, почему когда я на работе подписала детям дипломы в своей группе, мне начали нести еще из соседних, мол и нам подпиши, надо же какой почерк 😅

@maria_azb класс! это в Тампере?

меня реально сложно привести в восторг, но тут местами прям получилось

Прислала моя тётя из Дюссельдорфа "Это шествие у нас в Дюссельдорфе вчера. Такое шествие проходит каждое воскресенье в 16 часов." Спасибо, Дюссельдорф🙏🙏🙏

Fantastic clip from @NotJustBikes on how prioritizing cars actually hurts Main Street businesses and communities. It includes a nice quote from the local Board of Trade who thought prioritizing cars would help the town centre. Guess what actually happened?

Zelenskyy calling Putin a “fucking terrorist” on live TV is the energy I’m bringing into 2025 and 2026.

Thousands of Ontario residents came together to send a message to @fordnation and @PrabSarkaria that bike lanes save lives, solve congestion and transport goods.

Read that while I was among dozens of students stranded waiting for more GO busses as they're all full & there is no two-way all day GO trains yet--a decade old promise. If Ford really cared about congestion he'd focus on funding transit operations & finishing rail projects. 1/7

Business owners love bike lanes! They bring 1000s more customers past their shops than cars ever could. High-spending customers, it turns out So why is @FordNation ripping out the bike lanes that local businesses have come to love? 🧵↓

Selfishly, this fucking sucks. ActiveTO Midtown was one of the first projects I worked on when I started at the city. The delay in travel time for autos was 37 seconds at its max and we heard from so many ppl in the community that it was a game changer for them.

If this happens we have to resort tactical/guerilla urbanism. Repaint the bike lanes ourselves. Install the bollards back ourselves. If the government won't protect vulnerable road users, we as a community have to.

@fordnation you are so wrong, such a disgrace to the city and the province. Don't destroy, read the studies!

Bike lanes belong on secondary streets, not clogging traffic on main roads. It’s time to get you moving again.

@Sch4denFreude22 If there was a choice to use or not to use this invention, a lot more people would be ok with cars. But we're forced into using cars, deprived of safe streets, kids and non-driving elderly are robbed of the freedom.
