This article, about growing up as a naturist or coming to it later with a body positive attitude, is really good. Well-written and captures so well what naturism (or nudism) is about. From @slavicuncovered.bsky.social. slavicuncovered.substack.com/p/nude-and-u...

My new happy place. Yang style 8 forms Tai Chi. My technique needs a lot of work, but it's still very satisfying to do. I'd like to progress to 103 forms, though it is the journey, not the destination that matters. I would recommend this to anyone. #taichi #naturism #naturist #nudist #bodypositivity

I was driving along Chester Road, Stretford the other day, when I saw a child cycling safely along the new cycle lanes. Alone, no adult with them. And I rejoiced, because this is precisely what the new lanes are FOR. 🙌 (Adults can use them too! 🤣)

The ride on Friday will complete 5 years of #BoltonCriticalMass. The weather is looking very good and the playlist is sorted. More info at: boltoncriticalmass.wordpress.com/2026/07/05/j... #CriticalMass

People in civilised nations just getting on with living happy and fulfilling lives, whilst UK tabloids and rightwing media keep obsessing over whether bicycles are a danger to the public.

All three of my water butts are now full up!

Under a Binface government, anyone who doesn’t accept human-made climate change as fact will be sent back to school, from Year 1 right the way to A Levels, to see if anything goes in the second time round. #VoteBinface

#bloodycyclists, getting in the way and blocking the roads? When will this insane car-spreading ever end.

I've long been intrigued by this sign on an old building at Shude Hill. I guess it's to prevent people building next to it.

The next meeting of Bolton Active Travel Forum is scheduled for 15th of July. Info on this event page: fb.me/e/9lxjXUgKx #activetravel #walking #cycling #Bolton

It's good to see the new Copenhagen-style stepped cycle lanes taking shape on Higher Bridge Street. and the cyclops junction at Topp Way starting to take shape. #activetravel #walking #cycling #beenetwork #Bolton

Blatant lobbying, not for the sake of our country, but for the fossil fuel industry, in which almost all the ultrarich - including, in all likelihood, the proprietors of these newspapers - are heavily invested. These people are not and never will be your friends. www.carbonbrief.org/analysis-uk-...

The value of the humanities is more than just what people are willing to pay for it — it can’t just be a business decision. The arts and humanities are fundamental to the flourishing of our society; knowledge gathering, critical thinking, and creativity should be defended as sacred things

Happy UK voted to make itself worse (in many ways as it turns out) day. And still most of UK politics tries to ignore it, while a significant minority of our county folk are emboldened by the same collection of far right hooligans that convinced people to vote to be worse off. #BrexitDecade

Happy summer solstice everyone! (We already ate the breakfast but it was very nice.)

And importantly… every single reporter was updated with the outcome of their report. Why? Well…It gives clarity, improves future reporting, encourages more reports — and it’s just good manners!!

Huge thanks to Northamptonshire’s road crime reporters! In 2026 so far: 1,252 reports → 713 positive outcomes. • 14 to court • 161 with penalty points • 452 on courses • 86 letters Police can’t be everywhere 24/7, but the public can. Your eyes on the road are reducing harm & saving lives. 🙏

Just over a week to go until the #BoltonCriticalMass Summer Solstice ride. boltoncriticalmass.wordpress.com/2026/06/18/j...

I'm not sure the UK government is in any position to moralise about the dangers of the internet while continuing to treat X as an official communications platform.
