One of the many reasons I love walking and bridges is that I get to see things like this. Not sure exactly what's happening but it sure does interest me.

I see Shaun King trending yet again. In addition to all the scams, I'd add that he likes to dox people without having the full story so that white people can condemn them rather than doing the hard work of examining our own racist behaviors. unassociatedpress.org/2016/11/10/its…

This is a helpful statistic about landmines that I often forget to share. In addition to killing and injuring civilians and preventing development, it's very costly to remove them.

Not the 1st such war, measured by deaths of online contacts. (Syria, Ukr etc) The ✅✅ that show they read your notes stop lighting up. Far-off lanterns winking out 1 by 1. A few we profile after they go dark. More we’d quoted 1-2x, or were journos. Many just stay off-record.🙏

Wouldn't be surprised if we woke up tomorrow and tried to log on to find nothing but a blank page here, Twitter having vanished into the ether, its final purpose fulfilled

I was planning to delete my Twitter account today, but I'm glad I decided to wait a bit. Going out on a high note. (I don't want to start any more social media accounts, so you can find me on LinkedIn, I suppose.)

We lived next to a highway for a year. Every time a particularly heavy container truck went by, my mother would wake up in sweats. She remembers every second of the Christmas bombing.

"I saw familiar names on the screen, President Richard Nixon and Henry Kissinger. Names that I hadn’t seen since high school, but this time their legacies were tied to the massacre of my ancestors and war crimes—not to heroic actions for democracy, as I'd been taught in school."

I've mostly left Twitter, but every once in a while I log in to check on a thing and I see a post like this one from Liam and remember what I like about the place. Beautiful photos of a transit system I love dearly.
