This was the top post on reddit today:
A woman in Seattle complains that her ~5km commute to work takes 45 minutes.
She goes on to complain that the city is building "6 new apartment complexes" nearby.
I don't want to dogpile her – she's a product of her environment – but it's yet another example of just how broken car-centric cities are.

Obviously, the motive behind the plan is to grant governments access to *all* devices ("Big Brother"), the mere idea of "encouraging" Operating Systems makers to implement "nudity blockers", unless the user is a "certified adult", would be absolutely hilarious, wouldn't we live in a time of completely normalised absurdity.

Spendenaufruf Normale Geburt e.V.: Es ist nicht egal wie wir geboren werden
"Die heutigen Umstände rund um die "moderne" Geburtshilfe verlangen nach Aufklärung und Umdenken. Wir möchten Frauen und Familien in dieser so wichtigen Lebensphase stärken, damit diese kraftvoll und sicher in das Abenteuer Familie starten können. Wir wollen die gesellschaftliche Bedeutung der hebammenbegleiteten Geburt sichtbar machen und wünschen uns das keine werdende Mutter auf eine sichere und individuelle Versorgung und Betreuung während Schwangerschaft, Geburt und Stillzeit verzichten muss. Doch die aktuellen Umstände verschlechtern sich zunehmend. Um dies endlich zu ändern, brauchen diese Themen nach wie vor mehr Aufmerksamkeit."
