true experts like me go to the hygenist, get a box of mangoes on their way back home, and immediately cement mango strings between the freshly cleaned gnashers. 🥭🦷

Stand Up To Racism’s Oxford group has called on student polemics society, the Oxford Union, to withdraw its invitation to Tommy Robinson. SUTR’s Ian Mckendrick said: “This is not about freedom of speech, but whether a prestigious institution gives a platform to a fascist to spout hate.”

Britain was perhaps the leading nation in maintaining a consistent principled line on Ukraine. We just threw that reputation away.

was half expecting the alt text to read "a baby (left), and Cllr Ian Walker".

Excellent work by our Oxfordshire Active Travel Champion that shows that this role doesn't have to be a pure PR function 👏

this would make my bike rides to Rectory Farm a lot more pleasant and safe 🚲

there's no such thing as "free parking".

idk where the algorithms get the idea that I am interested in people eating and reviewing tinned fish? Maybe it's because I sometimes watch a guy who eats fruit? Suddenly I was presented with a sub genre of citrus fruit only influencer, and now I wonder why I can't eat fruit for a living. Alas.

Keep those fossil fuel interests happy, Rachel. We have only one liveable planet to destroy after all.

For how long? this will mean a good 15 minute detour for some pedestrians.

Do better, Oxford University Rowing Club.

What's going on with my brain that it sometimes thinks "oh, cool I have 15 minutes before I have to leave the house, why not do this big task real quick before heading out" --- but also "wait what, only 2 hours left before I need to leave, no point starting something now, let's just doodle around"??

Oxford University says its staff are “entitled to participate in civic and political life in a personal capacity” after the head of its Staff Immigration Team, James Baker, stood as Reform UK’s candidate in Littlemore. Around 40% of Oxford’s research and teaching staff originate from outside the UK.

Wes Streeting is a Tory. Pass it on.

At least we’ll get some good use out of this gif.

ESTRAGON MP: Well, shall we replace Starmer? VLADIMIR MP: Yes, let's replace Starmer. [They do not replace Starmer.] CURTAIN

Things can feel a bit bleak at times, but not when you look on the faces of all these children and families enjoying cycling in Oxford. So glad Cyclox was able to organise another successful Kidical Mass ride on Sunday. www.oxfordmail.co.uk/news/2609675...

2 of the best.

squee

The only comment ill make on the demo is that its extremely disappointing that the organisers felt ZP had not done enough to address antisemitism but Nigel Farage had :(

Delightful pictures- do have a look!

Joyful and lovely Kiddical Mass bike ride today, briefly dampened a bit by an unpleasant interaction with a www.daytourslondon.com coach driver on St Giles who passed us way too closely and too fast and then said "do you have a bus license?" when I challenged him. Maybe he shouldn't have one.

I’m incredibly proud of all the volunteers, candidates and organisers who worked really hard to make this happen. We had more than 170 people involved in the campaign for our East Oxford and Cowley wards alone. The sheer energy, care and community in @oxfordgreenparty.bsky.social is truly amazing. 💚

💚.we did a thing 💚

bullies be bullying.

Pretty desperate stuff 🙄

Today the new Renters’ Rights Act comes into force. This is a big step forward. But without rent controls a huge number of private renters will continue to be priced out of their homes by spiralling rents. I will never stop fighting for secure and affordable housing for all 🧵...

Thanks to @edwardmundy.bsky.social for representing @oxfordgreenparty.bsky.social in the @bbcoxford.bsky.social radio debate today (starts from 3:06:25). Loved everything he brought into focus, from health inequalities to rent controls ("look up Vienna" was a highlight) www.bbc.co.uk/sounds/play/...

Leaflet volunteer on the campaign I manage telling me that people asking them for leaflets as they walk down the road 💚

I clearly still had to practice my stern face. To be clear, the opposition to this redevelopment has nothing to do with NIMBYism. Yes to Warneford Park redevelopment, absolutely no to the unimaginative transport vision of adding hundreds of car parking spaces in an underground garage.

MEET (Some of) YOUR CANDIDATES! -we're proud to have a diverse range of community champions and everyday activists, from all walks of life across our amazing city, representing the Green vision for Oxford!!

True story: me (on cargo bike) bumping into Emily (on cargo bike), we stop for quick chat that ends with Emily: "HAVE YOU BEEN TO THE NEW PUB?!", me rushing to my campaign meeting: "JUST BUMPED INTO EMILY SHE SAYS THERE IS A NEW PUB" - everyone "WELL WE SHOULD GO" - spoiler: and we will.

Just saying @worldbollardassoc.bsky.social

Looks like I am the only candidate for Churchill who took the time to answer Headington Liveable Streets' questions 🤷‍♀️ www.headingtonliveablestreets.org.uk/city-council...

A £1.5m scheme to improve National Cycle Network route 5 across Abingdon town centre has won the support of 81% of people responding to a consultation. New cycle and pedestrian crossings, contraflow cycleways, and improved footways will be installed, with construction due to take place this summer.

No, thank you, Mr employer, I will absolutely NOT join the webinar titled "Thrive Mode Activated: AI for Everyday Wellbeing".

One of the most deprived Local Authorities in the country has already wasted £124k on a legal challenge to make its streets less inclusive, more polluted and less safe, and is now happy to waste another £153k in a futile Supreme Court battle.

Organising an election campaign is hard work but it is incredibly inspiring. Cycled to our action day yesterday morning, and my heart felt so full. The more I speak to people on the doorstep, the more time I spend with my fellow campaigners, the more I fall in love with Oxford, all over again.
