Are we absolutely sure we’re not in the mirror universe?

Refusing to build supportive housing for those who would otherwise be homeless means more unhoused people living on our streets and in our parks, AND much higher public costs paid by all of us. It’s as simple as that. #UrbanTruth

First time listening to Amol Rajan’s Radical podcast and caught an episode with Thomasina Miers - great listen with some interesting, specific and practical ideas on UPFs. More to do on the SEND angle I would think. Check it out if you need a distraction today.

Helsinki just went a full year without a single traffic death The capital city is Finnish’ed with car-related fatalities.

“Helsinki hasn’t registered a single traffic-related fatality in the past year…Citing data that shows the risk of pedestrian fatality is cut in half by reducing a car’s speed from 40 to 30km/hr, city officials imposed the lower limit in most of Helsinki’s residential areas and city center in 2021.”

Why reading still matters — and why I wrote Arwr Arfro Llinos Dafydd, Author, editor and translator This year has been named the National Year of Reading. On the surface, that feels like something everyone can agree on. Reading is good. Reading is…

Research consistently shows that reading for pleasure supports not just literacy, but wellbeing, empathy and long-term educational outcomes. But pleasure cannot be forced. It has to feel voluntary. It has to feel safe✍️ Llinos Dafydd

”Hope floats, as a fated ship is dragged to its demise on the seabed. Hope rises when everything else is sinking. Hope flies when there are no wings and hope, without an engine. Hope does not need light, or oxygen to survive. It grows best in the dark, truth be told. Hope is the 1% which rallies against statistics. The one they cannot explain. Hope is against-the-odds, in spite of fact and solely made of will. Hope is the space between faith and spirit. Hope is the belief that things can get better, that the sun will warm again, that the end not need be that. Hope lives in the mud, in the mire, in the barren wasteland of emptiness. It is like magic, this hope. And the best thing of all? It’s free, you just have to call it near. Hope floats my friends, cling onto it, when you are just too tired to swim.” Hope Floats by Donna Ashworth Poem text is on a field of daffodils

Come on Britain, I believe in you ❤️

Text reads ‘Mongolian saiga antelope numbers up by 24%’. Image behind of two saiga antelope grazing in the snow, the sunlight shines across from the left with a warm glow.

A remarkable recovery for the Mongolia's saiga. 🙌

Numbers of this critically endangered species have increased by around 24% in the last year.

Thanks to conservation efforts from WWF-Mongolia & partners, the national population is now estimated at 28,857.

Let's hope the numbers continue to rise!

To anyone that needs clarification, "your best" is what you can accomplish without damage to your physical, mental and emotional health, not what you can accomplish by destroying them

I don’t know how many people join Bluesky each day, but my sense is that more & more people are discovering the outstanding community/conversation here (best on social media) about better cities. I still think STARTER PACKS are a superpower. I’ve made many, but here’s my first again. Please share.

RIP, James Van Der Beek. And fuck cancer.

Ps: okay I do understand, but that doesn’t make it right and there will come a time when you are ashamed of it and wish you hadn’t stayed

I really, REALLY, don’t understand why anyone is still on ‘X’

Being there signals that they haven’t crossed the line yet for you. That the benefits of the service they provide outweigh the utter moral bankruptcy. That you are willing to support their business and make them money for your own gain.

Trans athletes may not have fitness advantage in women’s sport, landmark study finds Findings suggest physical performance in trans women converges toward that of cis women over time

A new systematic review has found that trans women on HRT have the same level of fitness as cis women and don't retain any advantage in sports.

Oh no! Sad news. I agree

If you're going to do it, do it right.

More MPs are coming off X and I assume that means they will be posting more on here

@politicshome.bsky.social has a handy list of all the MPs on Bluesky

Please point out anyone who is missing!
