🏳️‍⚧️ Today is Trans Parent Day - a day to celebrate the incredible love of both parents who are trans and parents of trans people everywhere. It’s also an opportunity for us to speak about the pride we feel for our loved ones. Happy #TransParentDay 💕

Oh dear! I genuinely think this was the "before" junction from hell that they were going to make more safe. But this is what they came up with! Did no-one who designed this ever actually imagine what it would be like to traverse this on foot or on a bike?

An easier way onto NB I-5? We're all for it! A new right-turn lane & traffic signal at WB E 39th St in #VanWA is helping reduce backups & delays.🚦 Upgraded sidewalks & curb ramps make it easier for people walking, biking & rolling, too!🚶‍♀️🚲🧑🏼‍🦼‍ #ClarkWA bit.ly/4iq2tAY

Just imagine what we could have done with this money: finishing HS2 in Full, Crossrail 2, Leeds Tram, Bristol BRT, etc etc etc. And of course the knock on congestion savings might well have ended up saving drivers money.

A gentle reminder that the state's effective subsidy of driving an ICE vehicle, since Government lost any gumption to raise fuel duty in 2010, currently stands at £120 billion.

💔💔Horrifying footage from Dnipro, Ukraine. russians attacked a railway platform where civilians were waiting for a train. People were simply trying to get somewhere. And suddenly, absolute hell.

This meisen-omeshi summer kimono features an intricate basketweave or log cabin-style pattern in rich teals, yellows, and coral tones that creates a complex optical field reminiscent of Constructivist and Bauhaus design principles. Early Showa period (1926-1940)

Want to know a city’s priorities? Watch its traffic lights. At this Delft intersection, pedestrians and cyclists enjoy a continuous green light. Drivers must ask permission to cross the foot and cycle path by triggering a sensor. Infrastructure shapes how we move. Traffic lights show who we value.

A UN Commission has concluded Israeli military forces have committed war crimes in the West Bank, including systematic attacks on civilians, intentional targeting of children, and the use of sexual and gender-based violence. These horrific crimes cannot go unanswered.

This is pretty reasonable and squares with my experience of over 20 years of cycle commuting in London London, United Kingdom gets about 362 rideable days a year by my rules: 304 green and 58 yellow. I set green above 2°C and red below −4°C. Find your number with Bike-Rideable Days by Shifter.

This tool from Shifter (Tom Babin) is so cool! Allows you to put in your city + your personal temp + precipitation tolerances to predict how many days per year you can ride a bike easily, with some prep, or not at all. shifter.info/bike-rideabl...

This is big news. Ending the puberty-blocker ban in New Zealand is massive. It puts Cass & the entirety of Labour’s flagship anti-trans policies in doubt. Yet no mainstream media platform has even mentioned it. Indeed most alternative media, like @bylinetimes.bsky.social have failed to mention it.

Intersex people are part of the LGBTQIA+ community, yet their experiences can often be overlooked or misunderstood. This #IntersexAwarenessDay, take a moment to learn, challenge assumptions, and help create a world where everyone feels seen and accepted.

Disappointed to miss World Pasta Day yesterday - now I need to heat up this poem in the microwave.

Last week I called on the UK Government to mark Black History Month by acknowledging the inhumane crimes that Britain inflicted on African people for centuries, the ongoing impact of those crimes on the Global South, and the need for slavery reparations.

For 25 years, @greenparty.org.uk has been campaigning for car-free zones, cleaner air, and safer neighbourhoods for Londoners. Now in 2026, Labour is finally getting on board with major pedestrianisation projects. #OxfordStreet #LondonGreens #Pedestrianisation #CarFree

Just weeks after Professor Jason Arday was hounded to his death, Reform UK’s branch in Oxford has invited the racist academic who led the campaign, Nathan Cofnas, to speak. Tell the education secretary to protect students and academics from hate: https://goodlaw.social/u07r

This went on for the rest of the full hour, at which point the BBC apologised for having to go to the weather and urged viewers to follow continuing live coverage on iPlayer. Forty-one minutes of unfiltered, unchallenged propaganda by a far right party with 8 MPs, now third in the polls. Discuss.

BBC News just interrupted its coverage to go, live, to Nigel Farage - a man with no contitutional standing in our setup - responding to the budget - a document which nobody has seen yet. WHY

Reform in Bradford say they back rail plans. But a Reform government would scrap the long-overdue Northern Powerhouse Rail scheme. Will Reform in Bradford’s support for NPR mean anything if their own government would ditch it?

I’ve spoken directly to several parents whose Trans+ children are being harmed by the Labour government, and the NHS So let me be explicitly clear Barnes is using her national platform to promote medical abuse practices aimed at forcibly detransitioning young Trans+ people This is the scandal

Alejandra Caraballo@esqueer.net · last wk.

The scandal here being trans kids got the care they needed. Notice how Hannah never talks to the patients or the parents. It's always someone opposed to the care who claims it's a massive scandal but if that's the case, where are the patients and their parents?

Lula: "We had to overcome foreign interference through digital platforms, which we will have to regulate. A crime in the digital world must be treated the same as a crime in the real world. We cannot have monstrous companies earning millions... not paying taxes... wanting to steer elections."
