From the hills of Halifax, to the streets of London, via Cardiff. I'm a bit arty, worked in graphics, and ridden #cargobikes around London as a courier. Love bike fettling and allotment gardening.

I wrote to TfL asking them to remove unauthorised flags in Merton that have caused fear in my community. TfL has committed to removing them - but I've now discovered contractors taking them down are being threatened. This tells you everything: this was NEVER about patriotism.

This is deeply disappointing from Starmer.
The UK *helped design* this 'TFFF' fund, designed to stop deforestation, and supposedly 'continues to back the fund' (in theory). But now isn't putting any money into it 🤯
How embarrassing for the UK.

Two houses on the same street, both with drives.
Yet just one of them reduces flood risk, retards heatwaves, and lights up the neighbourhood with welcoming greenery.
We’ve lost millions of front gardens to overpaving in recent decades. We need to reverse that trend urgently.

The bus stop came out of nowhere, obviously. Be safe, be seen 👍
The bus stop was not wearing hi viz and is clearly to blame. Case closed.

ppl saying 'brianna was not killed by her phone'.
important to understand that @paulabarkermp.bsky.social and the rest of labour believe that being trans is a communicable disease that ppl catch from social media
it's the same thinking that led to the original section 28: being queer is a virus

If reports are accurate, Esther Ghey's acctivism propably doesn't speak for trans people, if not being low-key transphobic. I think people should keep that in mind if they want to support this campaign on those grounds.

My workplace arranged a large teams call with Esther during pride month and it ended up being entirely about mental health and phone access for kids. It was infuriating how much Brianna's past felt like it was being rewritten and how impossible it was to confront her mother about what she was doing.

Democratic removal of these idiots isn't going to be available is it?
I spend all this time trying to figure out what the master plan is, and it always hits me: nothing. Just conspiracy brain worms all the way down. And the most smug self-righteousness as Kennedy and cronies destroy over a century of concerted scientific effort and hard work.

I do enjoy watching gravel & cyclocross, & occasionally, GCN (for their lighthearted banter).
This was different: bittersweet. Dan talking of time passing & losing his mum, killed me. Recently lost my sister; few months before, my brother-in-law; my parents four years ago.

This is closing the stable after the horse has bolted. Bicycles are being stolen right now and the Police just cannot be arsed with stopping the crime or helping victims of bike theft. They do not have the time or resources to investigate as it is, let alone putting energy into a bait operation.
