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.

Where Does Inclusive Design Meet Film? Copenhagen Architecture Festival (CAFx) Launches Film Mosaic: Leave No One Behind
The world’s biggest social challenges are reflected in the way we design our spaces. Privatization of public space, lack of affordable housing, dark design and spatial segregation are just some of the most common causes and manifestations of urban inequality that characterize contemporary cities. While holding the potential to reproduce these inequalities, inscribing them further into space, design can also work to oppose discrimination, propelling equity and inclusion.
Ghent to create marks on the road to help cyclists safely cross tram tracks
In the coming months, the ideal bicycle lane across the tracks will be marked on the ground at dangerous crossing points to ensure cyclists cross them sharply enough, which is one of the numerous hazardous features, and can result in them being thrown from their bicycles.
“Just a bunch of idiots having fun”—a photo history of the LAN party
And yet we're both hopelessly wistful for something else entirely: LAN parties. Merritt K so much so that she's writing, compiling, and crowdfunding a book: LAN Party.

It's been in the works for more than a year, but she's been thinking about it much longer.
