New Year's Eve. 3pm.

Walking into the kitchen to my partner’s Dad crouched in front of a cupboard, a torch in one hand, rummaging around with the other: “I could have sworn there’s some Turkish delight somewhere” as if there’s not a pile of sweets enough to feed an army on the sideboard in the dining room.

Send me back where I came from, Brits, in 15 years I’ve lived here I’ve never watched a monarch‘s speech and I was today years old when I learned it’s at 3pm every Christmas. Wasn’t aware the Guardian of all places were such keen royalists

Getting a tin of biscuits shoved in my face mere seconds after the Christmas dinner plates have been cleared, I’m here for it.

Can Iinterest you in some abolishing landlords radicalisation material? #nocheesesforusmeeces youtu.be/ULaNvmjZWxg

Emergency beds for rough sleepers are open in Oxford City and South Oxfordshire from 25 December due to a forecast of zero degrees overnight temperature. #SWEP

Oxford University Hospitals Trust has refurbished 17 abandoned bicycles for its staff to use. Bikes left on hospital grounds are repaired by prisoners in Aylesbury and Peterborough as part of a corporate social responsibility scheme called Recirculate. www.ouh.nhs.uk/news/article...

for a change...

just survived a lunch time supermarket run, not sure if I have spoons left for the rest of the workday 🥵

2 days later the Oxford Mail report mentions 150 protestors but phrases it so vaguely (and contradicts its own previous reporting) that you can be forgiven for thinking they were on the anti immigration side. Quoted only the patriots march organiser, despite being outnumbered 15:1. - pathetic.

let's go!!

Very good. www.youtube.com/shorts/NZRXC...

How does David Lammy sleep at night?

Their demands are reasonable, their treatment is disgraceful. The government's intransigence is killing the #PalestineAction hunger strikers. Just as its complicity has assisted the genocide in Gaza. It needs to wake up right now to the moral consequences. www.theguardian.com/uk-news/2025...

The Oxford Mail reporting on this is absolutely wild. What a bizarre editorial stance.

Oxford Greens at today’s anti-racist and anti-fascist counterprotest to stop the far right group Oxford patriots ✊ - strongly outnumbering them yet again.

Why yes, of course, my main, if not sole concern, when I urged my MP to do something about the Palestine Action hunger strikers, was the procedural aspects of signing/not signing an early motion. That's really all I cared about. Glad that was cleared up and nothing else was brought up here.

Oxford showing up with ~150 protesters, two bands and tons of good vibes today - couldn’t have been much fun for the ~10 that came to the anti immigration march.

Among the alternatives they propose are upgrades to cycling facilities on Woodstock and Banbury roads, a bridge across the A40 at Barton Park, and a bridge across the Thames at Jackdaw Lane, “giving cyclists an alternative to going round the Plain”.

time to whip out this chestnut I had posted on the old bad place before again.

Not saying this will happen but if a Labour run council unilaterally applied to cancel next elections where they are definitely bound to lose seats and they know it ... that would be wild.

Oxford people - coming up this Saturday. Meet in Bonn Square to counter a far right demo.

This is obscene. Why can't other politicians say that? The 25 richest families are collectively $358.7 billion richer than a year ago, with a combined fortune totaling $2.9 trillion.

shouldn't carry so much cryptocurrency in your wallet, mate.

Maybe I should go back to listening to music instead of podcast. I can’t handle finding out what’s going on in the world any more.

Why is house so sad 🥺

“Slow progress” has been made on cycling provision, it says: “The County Council should produce a clear, simple and prioritised plan of required Active Travel routes and work to implement these in a priority order… An active travel route from Botley to Eynsham is critical.”

The report urges the County and City councils to “work further and harder” on tackling congestion, saying that currently “the public realm in Oxford is not of a standard appropriate to one of the busiest tourist destinations in the UK”. It suggests a tourist tax could be imposed to help fund this.

A new city centre pharmacy has opened just off Gloucester Green and is offering walk-in flu vaccinations without appointments. Oxwell Pharmacy is at 6 Gloucester Street and claims to be “Oxford’s freshest pharmacy”. oxwellpharmacy.uk

I'm on my way to a Chanukah event. It should be a celebration but instead our community is once again mourning. I will be thinking of everyone in Australia and those around the world in the Jewish Community who know this fear and loss. We stand with you.

We are looking for some more #FareShareUK collection #volunteers to pick up food that would otherwise go to waste from supermarkets! Delivery is to Richard Benson Hall, 276 Cowley Road! If you want to help, email [email protected]

I've got a new Christmas jumper this year, what do you think? It was created by my talented friend @nattj.bsky.social

Solidarity with the hunger strikers. It is an egregious violation for them to be held on remand - without trial or conviction. All for protesting against a genocide. Shameful.

Still looking for a cause to support this Christmas? Please consider O.M.A. Volunteering here has been a real eye opener, not just noticing the many pockets deprivation everywhere in our city, but also witnessing the heartfelt kindness, care, inclusivity and community that O.M.A. champions.

I'm going to have to disagree. 🎆 A Tory cllr - in response to a motion about communtiy stopping the scapegoating of migrants - calling Africa "a nation [continent actually] with zero economic growth [??]" and saying too many migrants come just for handouts [??] were very large&unwelcome fireworks.

Apparently, that’s a thing. I will report.

Train ridership up --- despite cuts to services. Can we maybe get more carriages and increased frequency on some of these lines for Christmas? Pretty please?

I would go as far as saying Wes Streeting is personally responsible for many a mental health crisis - particularly in trans and non binary youth.
