idk what to think about the fact that a dude I smooched with sitting by a campfire when I was a teen and then never saw again after that summer has just viewed my LinkedIn. ...

Palestine Action have WON their judicial review in the High Court! A massive victory for free speech, freedom of association and the right to protest. A massive defeat for the draconian attempts by Keir Starmer's government to curtail our fundamental rights.

Labour voters, you need to stop splitting the vote.

Recruiting volunteers at #oxforsbrookes today promoting #comnunitygrowing. A positive response!

Will you be my Valentine and join the East Oxford campaign this Saturday? 🫶💚🫶💚

Things you can do in the UK and get out on bail: modern slavery. Things you can't get bail for: spray painting a fighter jet to call attention to an ongoing genocide and the UK governments complicity in it. 🍉

Desperate stuff.

Know anyone who would like to get going on a bike but need a bit of help? avanticycling.co.uk/newriders/ offer support for adults who are new to cycling or want to build confidence.

Went to the pictures for 2 films and a Q&A, what did I miss? 😅

Bluesky trends now summing it up in one big bucket.

Percy St 2017 vs 2022 - when did the Council decide to turn part the pavements officially into parking?? And more importantly, why?

“You know it’s wrong so please move along!” Children and parents at Windmill Primary School and Headington Nursery School staged a protest this morning against inconsiderate and dangerous driving outside school. They cite the volume of cars coming off the ring road and cutting through these streets.

Patrick Grant (of sewing bee fame)'s clothing company Community Clothing roasting the Melania doc in its latest promo email was not something I expected, but it did made me chuckle.

I am probably not leaning too far out of the window assuming asylum seekers who travel long distances for medical appointments aren' doing that because it's so much fun. Can we please start treating people as human beings, and not as an item on a balance sheet!??

For anyone who hasn’t been, this is a lovely walk (bike ride) along the towpath and a lovely pub.

Work meeting ended early so I am using my "time back" to check in on the live stream Place Overview & Scrutiny Committee live stream just in time to catch @emilykerr36.bsky.social challenging shortfalls in providing bikeability training in Oxfordshire - wearing a very topical 🚲🚲🚲 jumper.

We need YOU at our next action days to help turn Oxford green!! If you've been to 0 or 100 - all are welcome and we'd love you to join us:) greenoxford.com/events/?utm_...

And that was Oxford based Grime newcomers "Mold on a Meatslicer" with their debut single "Red Star".

Oh, and 4. Despite the demand for proportional representation from Labour members, Starmer won't change our ridiculous First Past the Post system. So he's in no position to blame anyone for "splitting the vote". share.google/buxD1tZ5BfKk...

Things that you can do and get out on bail: Environmental crimes and money laundering of massive proportions. Things you can do and get put on remand for 2 years with no bail: spray paint a fighter jet to call attention to an ongoing genocide.

My partner's auntie sent a video from snowy Brooklyn the other day. First thing I noticed is how neatly and thoroughly the pavements had been cleared!

felt I needed a pick me up and mixed coffee with drinking chocolate (Options belgian choc vegan edition), and in my head that was going to be a nice luscious mokka but it was incredibly mediocre.

There are 250 vulnerable people in Oxford’s asylum hotels. For 27 years, local charity Refugee Resource has been supporting asylum seekers, refugees and vulnerable migrants. We find out more about their work in a long read: oxfordclarion.uk/holding-hand...

"Council should not be raising revnue" from school streets. May I remind the editor of our local newspaper that the only reason they are is because drivers choose to ignore the restrictions that were put in place to PROTETCT CHILDREN from getting hurt or killed outside their schools.

I hated my replacement wheelchair at first. But then I realised the metal rims stick out further than my old one and are great for scratching the paint off of any cars and vans parked across a pavement I'm using. Had it a month and racked up 3 cars and 4 works vans. 4.5 stars.

Poor owner is so battered by the LTNs he had to open yet another location just to keep afloat.

When it rains, it poos. #sewage #watercompanies

The campaign for a playground in Oxford city centre has taken a major step forward. Councillors voted this evening for a Green Party amendment to the city’s draft Local Plan, supporting “proposals which seek to make provision for play space within the City Centre”.

oh eff ess ess.

You can see the northern lights glimmer through the cloud cover above Oxford tonight. They must be absolutely insane. Bummer this weather is forecasted to stay for the next week 😭

Spending my lunch time watching back the excellent speeches by @emilykerr36.bsky.social and @greenpartyemma.bsky.social at today’s Transport decision meeting

Breaking: removing Tower Hamlets LTNs declared unlawful at court of appeal. Huge congrats to the residents who campaigned on this. www.standard.co.uk/news/london/...

Bring on the Headington LTNs! I find the transfer between the safety of the East Oxford LTNs and Headington completely wild. SImilar streets, but Headington feels like the wild west. Drivers don't wait for cyclists, they force their way through EVEN WHEN I'M RIDING WITH KIDS. Bring on more LTNs.

Converting a car park into housing could cause 'total gritlock'? ... They have it back to front: Parking creates traffic.

I mean that's not quite what she told the government though www.oxford.gov.uk/news/article...

I was just convinced that I forgot to go to an online meeting I‘m chairing because aaaages ago it was starting in 9 minutes and in the meantime read so many random stories that it felt like at least half an hour has passed — but it was only 8 minutes? I know no one who is more time blind.

What the heck how long was this meeting?!!

We need YOU (yes you) at our next action days - the only way we stand up to Starmer and Farage is by hitting the streets, organising our communities, changing hearts/minds and building change. We need you to get involved to make that happen! Sign-up here: greenoxford.com/events/?utm_...

Bad news for large, blind dogs, and anyone who continues to pay into their crowdfunder that's still open and asking for more cash - good news for Oxford's transport policy.

🚨 BREAKING: A legal bid to halt Oxford’s congestion charge has been turned down. The High Court today refused an application for judicial review by Open Roads For Oxford Ltd, which had raised £60,000 “from private donations, transfers from aligned funds, and our GoFundMe campaign” to bring the case.

Well, if we all have to go, please let it be a cute lamb shaped asteroid at least.

Oxford Mutual Aid (O.M.A.) have tallied up their 2025 in their latest newsletter: With the help of more than 500 volunteers, they packed and delivered more than 10,000 food parcels in Oxford last year. An eye-opening 885 of their more than food parcel recipients were children under 12.

I'm less impressed because Labour cancelled the vote. Labour councillors got to speak in favour of elections going ahead without having to vote for it.

Things you can do and get bail: kill a man while driving without a license. Things you can do and be denied bail: spray paint on a fighter jet to raise awareness of an ongoing genocide.

And?!

Chris Jarvis (Green, St Mary’s): “The timeline the Government has set is very difficult to stick to, and there is no guarantee it will be. It is a question of cancelling an election indefinitely. I oppose the cancellation of these elections.”

Good evening! It’s Oxford City Council’s special meeting to discuss (but not actually decide…) whether to stage elections this year. Usually this wouldn’t be up for debate, of course, but the Government has raised the option given the impending local government reorganisation.
