Rightwingers are promoting aggressive anti-bikeism as a key element of the reactionary political identity. Just the most destructive people, reflexively raging against anything coded “left” or “woke.” And so even the most universally beneficial trends and behavior are declared evil and “Un-American” 1/
@tzimmer_history just not happy til they get people killed in the name of their "freedoms" to continue destroying the planet for the sake of having a big truck or SUV to compensate for their tiney tiney dicks.

In Greek mythology, the goddess and witch Circe lived on the remote island of Aeaea. It was here that she gathered and used her magic herbs to turn men into pigs, and also where she spent a year with the hero Odysseus. Madeline Miller's fabulous novel 'Circe' retells the myth from Circe's perspective.
