“The United States, with its enormous highways, sprawling suburbs & neglected public transport systems, is one of the most car-dependent countries in the world. But this arrangement of obligatory driving is making many Americans actively unhappy, new research has found.”

At yesterday's funeral, a speaker shared that Olivia survived for long enough for her family to say a final goodbye — thanks to a supply of available blood. I haven't donated in a million years but I've made an appointment for tomorrow. So much love to these good people.

What if we designed cities, and the land-uses, densities and infrastructure that make them what they are, so that daily activity and exercise was just an ordinary, “invisible” part of every day life? It’s actually not that hard. You just have to change priorities. #HealthyCities

NEW: 1km of Montreal’s Ste-Catherine Street will become permanently “pedestrian only.” 225+ new trees, vegetation-covered pits for rain drainage, more seating, illuminated canopy, financial help for businesses, etc. Really smart. bsky.app/profile/brentt… cbc.ca/news/canada/mo…

Today and every day, we remember the courageous men and women in uniform who have, and continue to put their lives on the line for our country 🙏 #RemembranceDay

Happy Hanukkah. It’s a beautiful holiday First day candles done, we are ready for tomorrow Things shouldn’t be this hard. Live your life in peace, let others live theirs. No matter where you’re from or what you believe
