Vote early; vote often! #UKElections

Just popped out to Hearth Bakery in Hackney Wick. Wasn’t too hot; wasn’t too cold; just needed a light jacket. Perfect! And the bread was still warm

@zackpolanski.bsky.social @carolinerussell.bsky.social @zoegarbett.bsky.social @london.gov.uk Hi all. Hope you have an opportunity through the London Assembly to make the met police embarrassed about their blatant under reporting of numbers on Saturday’s march 1/2

Popped into central London with a few hundred thousand friends. @togetheralliance.bsky.social #NoPasarán #HopeNotHate

Got an ebay parcel today packed with daily m4il pages. Might have to ask for a refund for emotional damage having that sh1t in the house

Time for my annual St Patrick’s Day joke: What did St Patrick say as he drove the snakes out of Ireland? “Y’alright in the back there lads?” Aithankyou

Is there currently any point in having a system of international law?

I am pro Iranian people. I stand with them against their own government’s repression AND against the imperial violence in the form of bombs dropped from the sky from Israel & the US who have already killed hundreds. I support neither imperialism or dictatorship. Sahar Delijani said it best:

The Iranian government is evil. The USAian government is evil. The Israeli government is evil. Please don’t convince yourself that ordinary Iranian people will end up better off as a result of T’s oil grab and paedophilia distraction

Is there a political opposition in the US?

Got my NHS progress pride badge! I’m more NHS-adjacent rather than a healthcare professional, but important to represent the values

Few days in County Durham where #flagshaggers have been busy and deform council prob support it. Being whiter than white, everyone is very friendly to me (and I like being called ‘Pet’) but I can never tell which of them are racist. Definitely spent less money: walking out if the vibes felt off

Well, tories proving they are definitely NO LONGER the nasty party by rewarding vehemently anti-trans sharron davies with a life peerage. Hatred bags you the £400 a day Lords attendance allowance and a serious platform to spout ever more hate 🏳️‍⚧️ www.gov.uk/government/n...

@livingstreets.bsky.social parliamentary event on Monday can be watched on the you tube. Way past time to get drivers out of pedestrian spaces @teamlabouruk.bsky.social

Annual outing of the best badge. Remember, remember, the fifth of November… What a Guy!

Israeli government advertising snuck through on my you tube yesterday - encouraging me to do the Jerusalem marathon - in reporting it I saw what other adverts they were pumping out. So much violent disinformation sanctioned by google. Wonder who the really nasty stuff is being shown to

Passed through Darlington at the weekend. Loads of flags at half mast on lampposts for some reason. Has an important local died that I don’t know about? Only reason I can think of for such a display

Hi @livingstreets.bsky.social London E20, what was the Olympic Village, has lots of lovely wide pavements for pedestrians, making it easier for people with mobility issues, and space for kids to play separated from the road. Can you spot all 5 drivers who thought “I can drive on that!”?

Experience from central London today: anti-racists are a LOT better looking than the fash

@therealyplac.bsky.social Hi there - have you closed your shop? I ran out of stickers!

Dear racist white people Factor 50 sun cream is a DEI measure

Managed to see all three of the new DLR trains being tested in London today. Quick chat with an engineer who said they’re performing very well so far. Looking very smart #TFL #DLR

Due to an error, I first voted when I was 17. I was informed and engaged. My parents didn’t vote in that election because it was the Europeans, and they thought it wasn’t relevant to anything (and no political party was telling them otherwise). Great move to open voting to 16/17yos #UKPolitics

You just know he’s left the typing sound on on his phone as well

Wheelchair user. The scourge of dickheads parking cars and vans across the pavement and completely blocking my way is getting worse. I'm completely helpless and am so frustrated, angry and upset by its impact on my daily life, I now carry a penknife in my chair to puncture tyres.

@phlaimeaux.bsky.social Obviously perked up at mention of summer tyres on the Stephen Roche bike on #WhatDidYouDoYesterday but without mentioning brand and relative rolling resistance?! (My focus is always flat-resistance for London/Essex roads 🙁) And how do the 30mm sit on historically narrow rims?

Why do men in power so often think it’s a great idea to just start killing people? If they tried it in a Wetherspoon’s on a Saturday night, they’d get arrested. As a president or prime minister though, other countries line up to sell them arms, and thousands line up to pull the trigger…

Can’t get no sleep…

Dawn chorus day this morning in the Olympic Park wetlands, London (Short video with not much to see as too dark for phone camera, but lots of bird song)

Been struggling to get my reading head on recently, but reckon this from @jasperfforde.bsky.social should sort it out

Just saw two pigeons having sex on my balcony. Male flew off straight after without so much as a by your leave. #TypicalMale

Annual St Patrick’s Day joke: What did St Patrick say as he drove the snakes out of Ireland? “Y’alright in the back there lads?”

Looks like Marks & Spencer is hiding all the @stopfundinghate.bsky.social related comments on their IWD instagram post or any mention of advertising on the ragingly misogynistic gbeebies channel. Wonder what gender their on duty social media person was. Overworked today.

International Women’s Day - hope women can celebrate, and men aren’t d1cks about it #HashtagFuckThePatriarchy

The local blackbird is back singing to claim all four corners of the crossroad 🌞🎶🪶

Given how many Visit USA adverts I’m getting served, the algorithm has seriously misunderstood my current concerns

Reason 1,456 for buying a #book from a #bookshop not a billionaire: bookseller at @foylesforbooks.bsky.social will do an impression of @johncooperclarke.bsky.social when you buy one of his books. #HireCar

‘Gulf of America’ is the Gulf of Mexico’s drag name

Did I just hear a @marjoleinrobertson.bsky.social crossover with @alisonspittle.bsky.social ‘s radio programme? Bit of a BOGOF? Of course it was a Neighbours memory Listen now! www.bbc.co.uk/sounds/play/...

Fuck off instagram

Damn fine cup of coffee

This video camera study showed that less than 5% of people on bikes broke traffic laws while riding, yet 66% of people did so when driving. And if you REALLY want even MORE bike-riders to obey laws, build more protected bike infrastructure. Via @carltonreid.com www.forbes.com/sites/carlto...
