47 years ago today the SS Edmund Fitzgerald sank in Lake Superior. In this thread I'm going to discuss a few things: - The actual story - The Gordon Lightfoot song - The different roles of an artist/storyteller and an educator - Why it's ok to say we were wrong

Modern Americans have been sold a cheap, dangerous version of freedom. It’s freedom from obligation to others. Freedom from interaction with others. Freedom from consideration of others. It affects: - Relationships - Politics - Cities - Places of Worship And so much more.

"Nobody can opt out of paying for parking. People who walk, bike, or take transit bankroll those who drive. In so doing, they are making driving cheaper & thus more prevalent, which in turn undermines the quality of walking, biking, & transit."

#trains is trending. America deserves a robust, fast, and frequent high-speed rail system if we want to meet the moment to combat climate change.

For so many of us, safe and secure housing is just one bad break away from being lost. Please read this aid request we just received. Then donate and/or share their story.
Urgent aid request! Eden is a non-binary transmasc in Winston who needs $1,000 to secure their transition to safe housing. They were recently in a car crash that is preventing them from making their security deposit and getting out of a bad living situation. Cash app is $cyb3ryellow. venmo is @ejuni
