Our governments must increase support for Ukraine, through sanctions on Russia, provision of weapons, and giving frozen Russian assets to Ukraine.

We can also support Ukraine as individuals through initiatives like this backed by @timothysnyder.bsky.social.

This is excellent to see from Sadiq Khan.

The evidence is clear on 20mph:

“… the number of people killed or seriously injured on London borough roads reduced by 34% following the implementation of 20mph speed limits, with the number of children killed falling by 75% (from four to one).“
Dear Britain, it’s now clear: 20mph zones save lives and don’t slow traffic. Implement them | Sadiq Khan
There is too much bluff and bluster on this subject. Ordinary people just want safe streets for themselves and those they love, and we can achieve that, says London mayor Sadiq Khan

Imagine if BBC spent as much time on the dangers of climate collapse as they do on immigration. Imagine the public response when they realise what the real danger is to our children & who is causing it. Instead of anger at refugees there’d be anger at oil companies, media bosses, politicians & BBC.

The experience of the vast majority of the women on this planet is that as a teenager they got creeped on by (at least one) adult male stranger - just a great ‘welcome to the adult world’.

To not know/care about this is one massive self-own. Being female involves much more than ‘feeling’ like one

@annadamski.bsky.social it has taken me a long time but I think I have finally decided what neglectful gardening’s mission statement is:

To provide an environment that nurtures all kinds of insects, and provides an attractive place to sit.

Start at the base of the foodchain. What do you think?

I had thought that a Supreme Court ruling regarding women's political & legal rights might have meant a C4 piece about the history of women's rights & the women's liberation movement.
But no.
C4 centred males with trans identities.
Quick feminist analysis: males are more important than females.
