Chaostage auf Sylt · LRB 24 October 2022

The nine euro ticket was announced in early April by the German transport minister, Volker Wissing. The Hamburg punk band Trümmer Youth released ‘Chaostage auf Sylt’, (‘Down with the bourgeoisie/On Sylt now anarchy rules/Off to the chaos days on Sylt’). Around a fifth weren’t habitual users of public transport, and around a tenth used public transport instead of a car for at least one daily journey. The nine euro ticket was much less use in rural areas where a lack of public transport, and infrequent services, mean that price is not the only obstacle. The seventy-kilometre commute from Kastellaun to Mainz takes at least two hours on public transport.

Iran protests spark solidarity rallies in the U.S. and Europe

The demonstrations, put together by grassroots organizers from around the United States, drew Iranians from across the Washington D.C. area, with some traveling down from Toronto to join the crowd. In Iran "women are like a second-class citizen and they are sick of it," Scharm said. They sang one in particular in unison — "Baraye," meaning because of, which has become the unofficial anthem of the Iran protests. "Because of women, life, freedom," protesters sang, echoing a popular protest chant: "Azadi" — Freedom. The protests in Germany's capital, organized by the Woman(asterisk) Life Freedom Collective, began at the Victory Column in Berlin's Tiergarten park and continued as a march through central Berlin.

Everyday people were civil rights heroes, too. This is the story of one town's fight

It's what made me want to start profiling members of the "civil rights generation." When change came, it came painfully slowWhile interviewing my mom and uncle, I realized there was so much even I didn't know about their experiences. "If we were out, they didn't know us." We didn't know anything about that," uncle Anthony said. This was something else that I didn't know – my uncle, at 10, facing bomb threats just for going to school.

The International Space Station had to move to dodge space junk

The International Space Station had to fire its thrusters this week to make sure it avoided space junk in orbit around Earth. Without the move, the satellite debris would have come within about 3 miles of the space station. Space junk is a major problem: There are millions of pieces of debris circling Earth, most of it originating from satellite explosions and collisions. Space junk can threaten weather forecasting and GPSSpace junk poses a special threat to satellites, and in turn, services satellites provide such as weather forecasting and GPS. The International Space Station moves about once a year to get out of the way of dangerous debris.

Most teens who start puberty suppression continue gender-affirming care, study finds

A large majority of transgender adolescents who received puberty suppression treatment went on to continue gender-affirming treatment, a new study from the Netherlands has found. Researchers found that a whopping 98% of people who had started gender-affirming medical treatment in adolescence continued to use gender-affirming hormones at follow-up. Researchers then linked that data to a nationwide prescription registry in the Netherlands to look for a prescription for gender-affirming hormones at follow-up. "I think it's an important finding because we see that most of these people continue to use gender-affirming hormones," van der Loos tells NPR. Blocking access to timely care has been shown to increase youths' risk for suicidal ideation and other negative mental health outcomes."
