Parents at the Europa School and staff at Culham Science Centre have presented an 870-name petition to Oxfordshire County Council calling for a cycle route along the A415 and a safe crossing. They say the current situation poses “an unacceptably high risk of injury and death for children”.

A ‘bike bus’ of children riding to Europa School in Culham from Abingdon took place on Friday, with plans to repeat each Friday. Parents and staff at Culham Science Centre previously called for a safe cycle route along the A415.

‘Sound’ (loud sound), ‘sound’ (safe and sound), and ‘sound’ (water) are not related.
‘Sound’ (loud) comes from Latin ‘sonus.’
‘Sound’ (safe and) comes from Old English ‘gesund,’ meaning "healthy."
‘Sound’ (water) comes from Old Norse ‘sund,’ meaning “strait."

I really love the ability on Bluesky to have a conversation, but I’m going to have to mute threads for a bit until people get the “LET ME JUMP IN TO TELL YOUNWHY YOU’RE WRONG even tho I haven’t read the piece you posted/am taking about something completely different” habit out of their systems.

It looks like a lot of the serious issues have already been covered by other Starter Packs, so I threw together some of the funny and quirky big accounts at the old place:

Hey friends,
I made my first starter pack! You can’t go wrong following these 150 fun and smart science communicators. For some reason there’s no men in there? Weird.
Please don’t be mad if you’re not on there — I ran out of slots even though many are still missing 😬

Books have saved me more than once and for some reason (who knows) I’m feeling a need for perspective, escape and book community now. This starter pack is full of people obsessed with books: critics, authors, podcasters and more. Created in collab with @oliviawaite.bsky.social go.bsky.app/Bj2dpqm

Lots of people have asked me about the Met Office coming to Bluesky. So here we are! It’s a bit of a test feed at the moment but we plan to ramp it up. Do follow.
Our first post on Bluesky? It could only be one thing 👀
Are you missing the blue skies and lighter evenings this week? It’s been grey and overcast for many…
But will it be more of the same for the next 10 days?

the Welsh 20mph default speed limit: 32% reduction in injuries, 20% reduction in insurance claims, maybe a £20 million saving for the NHS - and the last is just from road casualties, without broader public health gains from more active travel and lower noise and air pollution
