"In patriarchal societies where #masculinity is coded as #power and control, men often try to get closer to women through power and control. The range of how this plays out is vast. It could be inconsequential, or it could end a woman’s life. This (...) may also be a reason why so many women in the “Man or Bear” debate chose the bear."
I recommend every man to read this piece by long-distance #cyclist Laura Killingbeck.
Are you a cyclist? Are you car-free or a bike commuter? Do you post about urbanism and bike infrastructure?
If so and you see this please reply so I can help build my list of such folk. I am playing with lists to help get some focused feeds of similar content. I don't care if you post about other things, I am just trying to get the right vibe in my lists.
New instance profile, so it's time for a new #introduction:
I'm a #husband to a great wife, #stepfather to two kids and #opa to two cute grandsons. I am an avid #techie with interests in #Linux. To make a living, I am an #IT professional.
Those eligible would have to pre-register at counters in Pengkalan Raja Tun Uda on the island or Pangkalan Sultan Abdul Halim on the mainland with their #MyKad and OKU cards issued by the #SocialWelfare Department
We recently concluded the preprint "Cohesive urban bicycle infrastructure design through optimal transport routing in multilayer networks" https://arxiv.org/abs/2405.02052
with A. Lonardi & C. De Bacco. We focus on #copenhagen as it is a great example for the annoying phenomenon of #cyclist congestion - too little space for all those people!
During the #twittermigration five months ago I joined Mastodon and now with the #calckey surge going on, I'd thought I’d check out what this side of the #Fediverse is all about.
I’m a data #journalist with the Canadian Broadcasting Corporation. My work focuses on data visualization and storytelling, analysis and investigative journalism.
I’m also a recent dad and an avid #skier, #cyclist and general lover of anything to do with #mountains.
I used to tweet a lot, mainly about news in #Calgary, #Alberta, #Canada, and especially about COVID-19 #data during the first two years of the pandemic. But I quit Twitter in December 2022 because it just became too much.
Hand cyclist Kevin Mills is the first quadriplegic person to cycle 8,400 km across Canada, coast-to-coast, from Cape Spear Lighthouse in Newfoundland to Victoria’s Ogden Point Breakwater Lighthouse.
A pro #cyclist on #cycling governing body barring trans athletes from competing in women’s races: “Removing transgender athletes from competing has never been about saving women’s sports. … Especially as a Black woman, I’d be an even bigger fool to pretend that banning transgender women from competitive cycling isn’t a problem that affects me. My folks (Black folks) have been persecuted under the false pretenses of “rules” and often under a veil of shady “science” for centuries.”
Just pointing out the inconsistencies to municipal snow clearing approaches across Ontario. It's critical to reframe the discussion to ensure we decrease the number of people that have to take their lives into their own hands just to commute, exercise, live, run errands, etc. #onpoli#ontario#cyclist
Hard as it may be to believe, since April SSE's #windfarms have been under-performning by around a fifth in the #energy fed into the national grid.
The claim is that 'adverse weather conditions' reduced their ability to generate #windpower... by which I assume they mean not windy enough?
Of course, we cannot know how realistic or otherwise their projections were (they may have been hyped for #investment purposes?), but as a #cyclist in the NW, let me tell you its been windy enough here!
