I post a lot of links to Mastodon -- basically I use it as a reading list. They are mostly about urbanism, biking, traffic planning, public transportation, equality and climate change. I thought it might be a good idea, to share and archive some of those links here as well. Someone might be interested.

Addressing Climate Change Will Not “Save the Planet”
Conservation biology finds itself in a terrifying place today, witness to mass extinction, helpless to stop the march of industrial Homo sapiens, the pillage of habitat, the loss of wildlands, and the impoverishment of ecosystems. Many of its leading figures are in despair. “I’m 40 years into conservation biology and I can tell you we are losing badly, getting our asses kicked,” Dan Ashe, director of the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service under President Barack Obama, told me recently. “There are almost no reasons to be optimistic.”
Students Rally in Budapest Protesting Against Teachers' Dismissals
Thousands of teachers, students and parents protested in the Hungarian capital on Saturday in solidarity with teachers fired from top Budapest secondary schools for taking strike action that the government deemed unlawful.
The Dark Divide (Film)
The Dark Divide 300 is a mixed-terrain bikepacking route through the southern Cascade Mountain Range in Washington State. Mercator Films and Evergreen Gravel Racing collaborated on a film documenting their pre-ride of the route earlier this year, which explores the intersections between adventure cycling, conservation, and Indigenous sovereignty.
Why These Mexican Bike Enthusiasts Are Fighting Local Gang Culture
They have face tattoos, their heads are shaved, and they wear all-black clothing, but the Chilangos Lowbike Club, or “Los Chilangos,” are an amiable bunch who’ve bonded over their love of flashy custom lowrider bicycles. The word “Chilango” refers to a resident of Mexico City. Most of the club members were raised in or near the city, in sections like Tepito, or are from places like Ecatepec de Morelos, a municipality north of the center of Mexico City. In these areas, gang violence and crime are part of everyday life. There are often high homicide rates, among other crimes that include gender-based violence and human trafficking.
