Isn't this just all because America wanted to be the #1 car manufacturer after ww2 or some stupid garbage like that

A walkable, bikeable, public transportable city is also a greener, cleaner, more livable city. Simple renovations for bikeability, like those done in Amsterdam in the 1960s, or in Portland, OR post-2000, can triple the usage of bikes in urban areas. Walking infrastructure makes healthier, more vibrant city streets, especially in the most densely populated urban centers.

A combination of improved mass transit, walking, and biking infrastructure, invested over the next 25 years, could save 5 TRILLION dollars worldwide, and prevent the emissions of over 11 GIGAtons of carbon dioxide into the atmosphere.

This, of course, is all in addition to the health and sheer quality of life improvements that such investments bring.

This is the result of the US destroying black middle class neighborhoods by building highways through them so white people could conveniently commute to work by car without having to see us on the way, and it disproportionately affects poor black people to this day.

my fave greek history story to tell is that of agnodice. like she noticed that women were dying a lot during childbirth so she went to egypt to study medicine in alexandria and was really fucking good but b/c it was illegal for women to be doctors in athens she had to pretend to be a man. and then the other doctors noticed that she was 10x better than them and accused her of seducing and sleeping with the women patients. like they brought her to court for this. and she just looked at them and these charges and stripped in front of everyone like “yeah. im not fucking your wives” and then they got so mad that a woman was better at their jobs then them that they tried to execute her but all her patients came to court and were like “are you fucking serious? she is the reason you have living children and a wife.” so they were shamed into changing the law and that is how women were given the right to practice medicine in athens

Yeah, this isn’t some Greek myth story about a hero or demigod or something, Agnodice was a real person who actually did this.

I wonder how many followers I have that don't know what the "knot" in my url refers to. Like surely not many right? If you're following a dragon girl blog on Tumblr you know what a knot is right?
