The mother and some other parents argue the trip should be cancelled because the political climate in the U.S. makes it unsafe, and points to what has happened to some visitors.

_The Evening Post_, 1 April 1925:
A DANGEROUS BUSINESS
That good housekeeping rule as to a place for everything and everything in its place is particularly applicable to the ancient art and sport of kite flying, and in general it may be said that the place for kite flying—at the present time in tremendous vogue—is out of town, and especially well away from overhead electric power cables. This, mere annoyance to linesmen who are called upon to waste time, and energy in clearing lines is one sufficient reason for the unpopularity of the sport, but parents should remember, if youngsters will not, that kite flying near cables carrying 3000 to 11,000 volts may be extremely dangerous; under certain conditions the child might receive a very severe shock.
A definite warning as to the danger which follows interference with power lines is given by notices placed on the Hutt River pipe bridge, but there the warning is given to fishers, who may, so run the notices, receive a fatal shock should a wet line be thrown across the high[?] power lines across the river.

#Women put off #cycling by #safety fears and #IntimidatingDrivers – #study | Cycling | The Guardian

The behaviour of some #drivers is appalling, and much worse than the behaviour of most #cyclists.

UK: Cybertruck driver pulled over, vehicle seized over safety concerns: 'An over-6,000-pound piece of steel' 3/28/25

"...Though the Cybertruck recently got a high safety standard rating in the United States, the U.K. has more stringent safety standards for cars, and the Cybertruck falls short on many of these.

The first area where it fails is its size. With a massive weight of 6,898 pounds (or nearly 3 tons) and a width of 7.2 feet, the vehicle is too heavy and wide to drive safely on British roadways.... "

Things have taken a turn for me in both good and bad ways recently. I got accepted into my dream school, but I'm struggling to be able to afford to go. And since being accepted into my dream school and wanting to leave my abusive household, I'm at an even higher risk of homelessness now. Anything helps greatly, even just sharing. Thank you from the bottom of my heart

Back in the early 1960s, at the Naval Base in Yokosuka, Japan, there was a park near the seawall that held a special place in our hearts. The centerpiece of the park was the remains of an old airplane, with a slide extending from the back. We affectionately nicknamed it "The Seaplane" and spent countless hours there, letting our imaginations soar. Of course, this makeshift jungle gym would never meet today’s safety standards—sharp edges and all. Yet, despite the potential hazards, we all managed to walk away with just stories to tell and memories to cherish. Remarkably, children would venture to the park on their own, drawn to the charm of The Seaplane by the seawall. It was a different era, full of adventure and freedom.

This was the first I’ve heard of Paris Green, and it’s a doozy. https://www.ricentral.com/chariho_times/news/local_news/the-dangers-of-paris-green/article_b708ea20-1240-11eb-b1f0-a754a0cb66ed.html

How safe is Ohio for trans women, currently? I'm thinking about going to see my mom in June, but I haven't been in the US since 2019 ​​

#ohio #trans #uspol #safety

I may need to travel to the USA in the next few weeks.

I am a Canadian staying less than thirty days. I would be going with a school group.

I have a bunch of questions:

1. What should I know before going?
2. What kinds of things do I need to do before leaving?
3. How can I minimize my chance of being detained at the border?

Thanks for any help.

Please boost for wider reach :)
