Helsinki just went a full year without a single traffic death The capital city is Finnish’ed with car-related fatalities.

β€œHelsinki hasn’t registered a single traffic-related fatality in the past year…Citing data that shows the risk of pedestrian fatality is cut in half by reducing a car’s speed from 40 to 30km/hr, city officials imposed the lower limit in most of Helsinki’s residential areas and city center in 2021.”

Why reading still matters β€” and why I wrote Arwr Arfro Llinos Dafydd, Author, editor and translator This year has been named the National Year of Reading. On the surface, that feels like something everyone can agree on. Reading is good. Reading is…

Research consistently shows that reading for pleasure supports not just literacy, but wellbeing, empathy and long-term educational outcomes. But pleasure cannot be forced. It has to feel voluntary. It has to feel safe✍️ Llinos Dafydd

”Hope floats, as a fated ship is dragged to its demise on the seabed. Hope rises when everything else is sinking. Hope flies when there are no wings and hope, without an engine. Hope does not need light, or oxygen to survive. It grows best in the dark, truth be told. Hope is the 1% which rallies against statistics. The one they cannot explain. Hope is against-the-odds, in spite of fact and solely made of will. Hope is the space between faith and spirit. Hope is the belief that things can get better, that the sun will warm again, that the end not need be that. Hope lives in the mud, in the mire, in the barren wasteland of emptiness. It is like magic, this hope. And the best thing of all? It’s free, you just have to call it near. Hope floats my friends, cling onto it, when you are just too tired to swim.”

Text reads β€˜Mongolian saiga antelope numbers up by 24%’. Image behind of two saiga antelope grazing in the snow, the sunlight shines across from the left with a warm glow.

A remarkable recovery for the Mongolia's saiga. πŸ™Œ

Numbers of this critically endangered species have increased by around 24% in the last year.

Thanks to conservation efforts from WWF-Mongolia & partners, the national population is now estimated at 28,857.

Let's hope the numbers continue to rise!

To anyone that needs clarification, "your best" is what you can accomplish without damage to your physical, mental and emotional health, not what you can accomplish by destroying them

I don’t know how many people join Bluesky each day, but my sense is that more & more people are discovering the outstanding community/conversation here (best on social media) about better cities. I still think STARTER PACKS are a superpower. I’ve made many, but here’s my first again. Please share.

I really, REALLY, don’t understand why anyone is still on β€˜X’

Being there signals that they haven’t crossed the line yet for you. That the benefits of the service they provide outweigh the utter moral bankruptcy. That you are willing to support their business and make them money for your own gain.

Trans athletes may not have fitness advantage in women’s sport, landmark study finds Findings suggest physical performance in trans women converges toward that of cis women over time

A new systematic review has found that trans women on HRT have the same level of fitness as cis women and don't retain any advantage in sports.
