This car parked near my house 😂 I think the sticker over the fuel cap is my favourite thing.

I'd be more into the government's idea of transforming Parramatta into a business and cultural destination if they improved transport to get there. No trains to Parramatta this weekend, and all other PT options will mean it takes more than 90 minutes to get there from Sydney's inner west.

Hey NSW, there is now a Parliamentary petition for free and improved public transport - if it gets 20,000 signatures it will be debated in the Legislative Assembly: www.parliament.nsw.gov.au/la/Pages/ePe...

Great news for our rights! You shouldn't have to brave pepper spray (which I've sadly learned from experience really hurts), physical assault or intimidation from our police force just for wanting to peacefully protest something you believe in.

OK I'm clearly not a fan of cars, but what a judgemental headline..

Governments should in fact be ashamed of responding to a crisis in a way that makes this crisis and the next one hurt us more They should be *increasing* taxes on luxury SUVs, private jets, cruise ships etc to fund generous subsidies for public and active transport, better services, small EVs

The Sydney Morning Herald asked me - can the Greens muster a left-wing counter to One Nation? My answer is HELL YES 💚💚💚 Will you join me? 👇 Join our movement: greens.org.au/join Support the campaign: contact-nsw.greens.org.au/civicrm/cont...

Every Sunday I feel like I'm sort of on top of The Things, then Monday turns up and also more Things. Why so many Things? Where do they keep coming from?

This is a bit vague, and not work related, but there are still so many moments in life where I have this feeling. Mouth activating before brain seems to lead to people handing me responsibilities I am very not qualified for. And I never learn my lesson. Yolo, learn as I go it is..

Mum: Spends 20 minutes asking about a privacy policy update for gmail via Outlook. Also Mum: then mentions she's been smelling and seeing smoke that whole time Me: omg, what! Mum: *stops responding*

💚 Still blown away that this is a radical take in this country. Telling Israel to cool it hasn't worked at all for the last 3 years (or longer). We need to take action to back that up.

I don't know if I'm just out of the loop, but it really saddens me how quiet Aussie press & politicians have been on this attack. There is such a massive Lebanese diaspora in Australia, I can't imagine how they feel watching this, and no support from our leaders. www.theguardian.com/world/2026/a...

Another daylight saving change side effect - I am not yet mentally prepared for the Europeans to be awake already in my early afternoon. I thought I had more quiet time at work (and online) before they start to appear..

Oh yay, my 94 year old grandad is posting "I stand with Ben Roberts-Smith" shit on Facebook. Just in case you're wondering who Pauline Hanson is catering to. Grandad is progressive on gay rights, workers rights, etc, but totally sucked in by this kind of rhetoric. Bet he'll vote ON for this.

I really can't comprehend wtf the US is doing. I go to bed wondering if nuclear war will have broken out by morning, wake up to the US threatening a mass genocide via social media (wtf), come back from a bike ride and there's now a ceasefire with each side claiming a win?

💖 @reecyboii.bsky.social presents Ferry Jam the next morning!! ⛴️ itch.io/jam/circular... Make a game on the Circular Quay to Parramatta ferry. Theme announced on the wharf. Any format is welcome and it does not need to be finished! 🗓️ Saturday, April 18th (9:00 AM) 3/4 🧵

I feel like I need another long weekend to recover from my long weekend.

Ok, apparently my symptom of getting older is my absolute suffering after leaving daylight savings about trying to stay awake until 10pm. Have been ready to go to bed since about 7.30pm 😩 Rocking the late 30s life...

Spent my day today writing three separate submissions for cycle paths and shared path improvements, and also reviewed a council's monthly street modification plan. I'm sure you all wish you'd spent your day off doing such cool and fascinating activities..

OK, I have annoyed the shit out of the local FB groups this morning with pleas to send in a response to the council's separated cycle path plans - so now it's your turn Bluesky! If you're in the Inner West or surrounds, please provide feedback on this! yoursay.innerwest.nsw.gov.au/lilyfield-ro...

Albanese telling people to reconsider driving is incredible optics. Mate, you built a country where driving is mandatory. A country where cyclists, pedestrians, and anyone not using a car is treated as a second-class citizen. Car-dependence is baked into every major policy you have architected.

Oh cool, AI slop is also making the housing crisis worse.

But we haven't planned for or built the amount of public transit you'll need, so "sucks to be you, I have an official car". Now, ebikes and active transport could replace up to half of all trips as half our car trips are less than 5 kms, but that would require me to show leadership and vision.

What a waste of a national address, thanks for the lecture about not buying more fuel than I need, Dadbanese.

Some of those that work forces...

OK, experiencing April Fool's Day is worse from Australia than it is from Europe. Finally got through all the Aussie brands/governments/service April Fool's "jokes", and now Europe is waking up and starting theirs. Must make sure to go to bed early enough to not also suffer through US shit too.

April Fools can just get in the bin. My Facebook feed is full of jokes about transport that are actually great ideas. Cops joking about giving up patrol cars for bikes, "pedal lanes" on highways during the fuel crisis, the return of the Sydney monorail.

When cars kill, it's just the cost of doing business. When e-bikes get popular, suddenly we need strict ordinances to stop "accidents".

Our solar panels were installed yesterday, so exciting! Now I'm one of those dorks who checks the app all day to see how the power consumption is doing. Super interesting so far! Also feel way less guilty about using the air con now..

Greens candidate announcement for NSW state election in Summer Hill - Izabella Antoniou! youtu.be/47liuc02PPY?... Let's turn the whole Inner West Green! If you're disappointed by the current NSW government, then there is a better option - we can actually have nice things!

Very helpful, Yuki, I think I'll be able to solve that bug way easier now

Feel like you forgot a party, ABC. Greens all over this from the start.. www.youtube.com/watch?v=W7NW...

Wow, awesome! Will NSW follow?? 👀

Staying at my parents house, and honestly I think television should be banned. The amount of propaganda and disinformation just in "the news" is awful. And they just have this playing non stop all day. I'm surprised more of Australia isn't right wing with this drivel shoved down their throats

Israel is invading Lebanon. It is not 'expanding the buffer zone'. It's an invasion - stop using the aggressor's framing.

I still think the least realistic part of Only Murders in the Building is Selena Gomez' character getting text responses from her old man buddies almost immediately. Trying to coordinate them tomorrow for a thing that has had a time change and.. just impossible. Also some of them don't even text.

Well, one benefit of the false fire alarm at work today was getting to see this pretty fire truck!

I'm going to this tomorrow - 30k speed limits for local streets are in place in many cities and countries around the world. They are proven to save lives and increase the percentage of trips taken by bike, foot and public transport. www.kobishetty.org.au/join-us-safe...

Nice, this is how you drop housing prices, disincentivise investors from using housing as a wealth creation tool.

This is disgusting. It's bad enough when the bluff is about tariffs, but bluffing about bombing the shit out of another country just to manipulate the market is monstrous.

Albo and co. just waved through tax deductions for charities driving dispossession and violence in the West Bank. Grayndler stand up - Albo thinks we're idiots. #auspol #grayndlerstandup #genocide youtube.com/watch?v=0yIA...

Where do these opinion writers get this from? How is an incumbent Labor government having a primary swing against of 2.3%, with a positive swing to the Greens accounting for about half of that anything for them to worry about from One Nation cannibalising Liberal votes?

Hi aus game industry. If there's anything I can get your attention on. It's the national cultural policy consultation the federal government is about to embark on. www.arts.gov.au/what-we-do/n... Please read what I have to say and share this with your wider communities. TLDR; SUBMIT!!! 1 / 6

So close ABC, come on!

Car accidents are still the leading cause of death for Australian children. Why aren't we saying more should be done to stop those preventable deaths and injuries?

Faaaarrr out, what a match. Well done #Matildas, you played amazingly, such a shame we couldn't break through 💛💚

Een zetel van het lijstje maar ook met voorkeurstemmen. ❤️💚 Ik ben er stil van, maar beloof dat ik vaak van me zal laten horen. Dankjewel allemaal vooral al die mensen die me hun stem gaven. Ik ga er zuinig op zijn en namens strijden. Voor de stem die niet gehoord wordt. Mijn hart zit links ❤️💚✅

I'm so glad I managed to be outside during the ten minutes Sydney received all of today's forecast rainfall
