@victoriascott.bsky.social writes about society, culture, present and future like very few people do. For a better mobility we need better, more inclusive, less corporate-fed stories. Stories for the motoring people and, just as Victoria's friends, everybody else who don't care about cars.

this really feels about as close to January 6th as you can get without it being January 6th. This just fucks everything. The runway is cleared for genuinely horrible things. as a member of an incredibly oppressed population I don’t feel good

JOHN R: Skip I want to ADDRESS this issue. [BAYLESS nods] You KNOW I am sensitive to the idea that the President is not above the law BAYLESS: Absolutely JOHN R: BUT!

The GOP SCOTUS ruling on Presidential immunity, summed up.

logging on and immediately looking at the site like good LORD what is happening in here

the things we do to our most vulnerable people in this country in the name of religion are beyond contempt. how can you claim to serve Christ with this evil in your heart

A homeless shelter wrote an amicus brief in the Grant’s Pass case. They argued SCOTUS should let the city arrest the homeless because, and I am not shitting you, the ban on doing so meant less people were willing to abide by their “two church services a day and no sex” requirement to sleep inside.

Victoria's new book arrived yesterday and it is wonderful! Excellent photography, a very fun subject, and presentation is wonderful. A must have for any queer individual that enjoys cars!

seeing a bunch of people - who said three years ago that Roe would never fall, and eight years ago that Trump could never win - tell me that I’m being overly concerned today.

@victoriascott.bsky.social you've done an amazing job here. The whole book is just a joy.

Supreme Court dismantles the administrative state and dooms us to eternal pollution and then also makes being unhoused illegal. I have taken the lesson the universe has taught me, and you will NOT catch me being optimistic again

In a 6-3 decision, the Supreme Court is like “if I were you, I would simply stop being homeless.”

First decision is Grants Pass. Gorsuch has the 6-3 opinion finding that the Eighth Amendment does not bar "generally applicable" laws banning public camping. Sotomayor writes the dissent. www.supremecourt.gov/opinions/23p...

My optimism post was short lived 🫡

I think I hate this website. A third of the randos on here are the rudest fuckers without reading comprehension I’ve come across in ages, and I work as a trans woman in an almost entirely male industry.

Y'all this article is so good. We need more (well-reasoned) optimistic reporting and it can be especially hard to find in the world of cars, but this is absolutely worth your time to read.

As someone who has put 5800 miles on their ev9 in the last six months and primarily charges off of a solar array in the PNW. Yes. Trite as it is, you have to build the future you want to see.

If you're not reading Victoria's work, I don't even know what to tell you. She's one of the best motoring journalists working today.

some states are unsafe for trans people to travel through, some states are unsafe for pregnant people to travel through, some states are unsafe for gay people to travel through, we’re developing this horrific patchwork of laws as fundamental rights are upended nationally

What an absolutely rad book. Thanks @victoriascott.bsky.social ! #weirdcarbs

I should get a bellybutton piercing

This story is excellent and this man is very brave. However I am now realizing that I probably wasn’t paranoid to have been so worried about being killed when I was the sole trans woman living in *actually* rural Idaho in a town of 3,000, over a hundred miles from the nearest town with an airport

A beautiful story about great people, who, as it turns out, are everywhere. www.washingtonpost.com/nation/2024/...

He wanted to throw an Idaho town’s first Pride. Angry residents had other ideas.www.washingtonpost.com Tom Wheeler envisioned a celebratory first Pride for rural Canyon County, Idaho. But in a state that has led the nation in passing anti-LGBTQ laws, the festival quickly sparked outcry.

DETROIT PEEPS APB: my friend’s new car was just stolen right from in front of his house, please keep your eyes peeled if you can!!!

In the off chance that it'll actually help - Hey, Detroiters. My 2021 Kia Soul was stolen from in front of my Bagley Neighborhood house sometime late Sunday 6/23 or early Monday 6/24. It's Neptune Blue with red highlights and a black/gray interior. Michigan license OPFU51

Big day for people who want to hear about my book lol

The second I heard @victoriascott.bsky.social’s We Deserve This mentioned on the Smoking Tire PodCast I put dropped cash on a pre-order. Queer voices in car culture are many and varied but unfortunately generally suppressed. Anybody as a the persons in this book needs to be talked about.

My wonderful friend Amber interviewed me about my creative process and the automotive themes in my new book, We Deserve This

if you haven't already ordered We Deserve This from @victoriascott.bsky.social, go do that. then, while you're waiting for it to arrive, read this little interview about the book

'Be Genuine, Make Art' An Interview With We Deserve This Author Victoria Scottjalopnik.com Victoria Scott tells us all about how the book came together, and what kinds of art she hopes it'll spark
