Paging fellow queers:
Is it only ever cishets (who call themselves things like #Urbanists) who use the term #motonormativity?

Hey, urbanists! Whose got a modern suburban-style cul-de-sac in their city or town that is older than 1925? Hit me up!

Recent issue of *Cities & Health* is full of articles that #urbanists will find interesting (noise, air quality, active transportation, ageing in place...), including:
"Promoting children’s play in Calgary, Alberta: A case study of collective impact and municipal leadership".

@fema Not interested in a platform that amplifies vaccine deniers. Happy to help you understand Mastodon! #urbanism #urbanists
I do not understand how mastedon works. I have bluesky invites for fellow urbanists.

Welcome #urbanists new to Mastodon! Now that I live in Japan, I want to know more about various aspects of #transit, #walkability and #infrastructure outside of North America and Europe. I'm also interested in how #indigenous communities lived in an urbanist context.
If you live in Asia or Latin America, say hi!

Heyyyy #Seattle #urbanists help me find my stolen bike! https://bikeindex.org/bikes/1537181
Another of my information streams on the subject of lithium is the #VisionZero #urbanists I follow here on Mastodon, who note that one of the many benefits of compact urban design, public transit, and a cultural focus on smaller lighter vehicles would be a dramatically smaller societal demand for lithium compared to a continued focus on individual ownership of midsized to large automobiles.
This is great. I believe this is an amazing addition to the #StrongTowns curriculum. Well presented, great stories to back up the points, I think this should be exactly what #urbanists should be bringing to their communities
I will never understand how #urbanists find ways to be mad all the time. Is it a personality disorder? Most people, especially those living with poor air quality, would welcome electric vehicles.
Here are two opportunities for #urbanists in #Wisconsin.
CNU Wisconsin will be meeting in downtown Oconomowoc on April 1. Early bird registration ends March 20.
https://cnuwisconsin.org/events/2023-annual-meeting/
The group is also looking for a student director to serve on its board. Applications should be submitted by March 15.

Nothing like using #Catholic #theology to argue for #urbanism, specifically better road design to discourage speeding. This is one of the most thought provoking and unique #urbanists I follow.

This was really fun to put together. I’d love to hear feedback from my fellow #urbanists, #BikeTooter, and #city nerds.

#Mastodon is filled with #journalists, #scientists, #programmers, #political #commentary and #urbanists.
Where are the #arts and #culture #advocates and #organizations?
Where are #restaurateurs, #hoteliers, #club and #music #venue #operators?
I would like to better connect with these voices for #24HourNation as I build a #NighttimeEconomy network here.
I appreciate boosting and tagging on this post. Thank you!

3) Aaand when you finally find all the counter-arguments after the discussion has ended (often to your own dismay), there is never a situation where it would feel natural to reinvigorate discussion yet again.
How do you guys combat this?

1) A question to the #urbanists on here: How do you approach people who are not willing to give up their car or generally are very skeptical around reducing #carownership and justify it by saying something along the lines of "Oh, well just look at everything else that is emitting waaay more #carbon than cars".
I am frequently caught in the situation where I am arguing against someone (with #facts), but they still manage to make me feel uncertain in some way...

Jesus would have taken public transit.

Even though many will claim that the US is a Christian country, it has a higher god: The Automobile.
