Me reading journal articles

Two phrasing choices have reduce my anxiety around scheduling and overcommitting.

I used to say, "I'm happy to meet with you."
I now say, "I'm available to meet with you."

I used to say, "I'm (relatively) free Tuesday afternoon."
I now say, "I'm flexible Tuesday afternoon."

Turns out the 20mph limit was great idea! Two years on from the controversial policy, it's becoming increasingly clear that the doubters were wrong

A much better read on this from a Welsh journalist - it's working really well

I see a lot of intersections with your work on @wtforce.bsky.social and finding meaning in what some people dismiss in pop culture.

When the cryptocurrency entrepreneur Eric Schiermeyer heard that President Trump was holding small group dinners with major donors, he saw opportunity. Mr. Schiermeyer reached out to a lobbyist with connections in Mr. Trump’s orbit, who arranged for him to attend a dinner with the president at his private Mar-a-Lago club on March 1 in exchange for donations to a pro-Trump PAC called MAGA Inc. totaling $1 million. The personal and corporate donations were among dozens of seven- and eight-figure contributions to MAGA Inc. from crypto and other interests revealed in a campaign finance filing on Thursday night that hinted at the access Mr. Trump accords those willing to pay. At the dinner, Mr. Schiermeyer, who had never given a federal political donation before, presented an idea for a cryptocurrency called “U.S.A. Token” that would be distributed to every citizen, according to interviews and a flier he distributed to attendees that sets out details of the proposal. He hoped it could be su

Cryptocurrency interests, which have benefited from the Trump administration’s dismantling of a yearslong government crackdown and from the Trump family’s financial interest in the industry, appear to have been the most generous industry, accounting for nearly $45 million in donations to MAGA Inc.An affiliate of the exchange Crypto.com gave $10 million, while the crypto services company Blockchain.com donated $5 million. The venture capitalists Marc Andreessen and Ben Horowitz, who are heavily invested in crypto, gave $3 million each. Ondo Finance, which has a partnership with the Trump family’s crypto company, donated $2.1 million to MAGA Inc., on top of $1 million to Mr. Trump’s inauguration.

The scale of Trump's pay-for-access scheme outlined by the @nytimes.com is mindblowing. Crypto contributions resulting in business deals with the Trump family crypto businesses, oil companies buying influence and later reaping benefits from friendly policies, and a $1 million pardon.

Kansas may have primarily Republican representation at the local level but like all states, Kansas is not a monolith. There are people standing up for their communities everywhere. Find the people in your community. Build the bonds that make our communities strong.

PC3I Program Director @rsedhom.bsky.social spoke with @realbowtiedoc.bsky.social about the benefits & nuances of Precision #PalliativeCare, which focuses on a patient's needs & preferences rather than diagnosis alone.

Listen to the podcast episode from @ascocancer.bsky.social:

Spousal Caregivers Face Greater Strain—Here’s What The Data Shows Spousal caregiving is especially complex because it involves caring for someone deeply loved, often evoking a range of difficult emotions. And that’s just the beginning.

Sky Team is a fun one. Just the right amount of stressful that when you land the plane you want to high five.

Happy to help you understand if you clarify your question/concern.

The song has been used in many memes recently often showing people meeting/being attracted to each other often within friend groups.

KC Current acquiring Sentnor has been described jokingly as a theft or illegal because it made a great team even better.

Three panel image First panel: Ally Sentnor celebrating in a USA kit - caption - "My name is Ally and I'm really gad to meet you" Second Panel: Emma Hayes, Caitlin Carducci and Vlatko with the caption "You're recommedned to me by some people" Third panel: Hutton, Cooper and Sentnor (all KC Current players now) celebrating in USA kits. Caption reads: "Hey ooh, is this illegal? Hey, ooh, it feels illegal."

Just sing the Pink Pantheress song, "Illegal" in your own head. You all know it already.

I can't believe this is real life.

Well this is depressing: a national survey finds that US adults actually think about climate change a lot, but when asked about solutions, almost always reach for individual action. They don't see it as political. Uuuuugh.

This is a video of a bear on a trampoline. Whatever argument you may or may not have tonight is invalid.

How Driving Less Benefits Us Driving less provides personal benefits and societal ones. Less rushing means a more involved day-to-day.

This article articulates the feeling of slowing down by shifting your mode of transit really well.

It is actually a gift to consider your time and energy more precious. I have to make choices about what I really want to do because there is not enough time to do it all.

Where is Sen. Roger Marshall? We go to his office, only to see a sign that says “by appointment only.” So we call to schedule an appointment, but nobody ever answers. Does this happen to anyone else?

My town needs to get better at holding meetings that aren't just for retired people. Our town manager is doing a listening tour and every single session starts at 5 p.m. That's really hard for people who work or have kids. The latest, as @malaclypse.bsky.social noted, is only accessible by car.

Planning for Housing in a Regional Context

Integrating transportation & housing planning has long been a goal for US regional organizations: It could help reduce cost of living & improve communities.

But are regional organizations actually doing that sort of joint planning?
