I wanted to get a video of this ghost crab but every time I got close to their hole they scuttled back in, so I tried getting clever with it. I made a little sandcastle and shoved my phone into it, hit record, and walked away. Crab was VERY suspicious of this addition to their environment.

An essential read on disability & travel. Finds:

β€œThe most commonly mentioned barriers are pedestrian infrastructure, particularly non-existent, narrow, or uneven pavements, while wide, good quality pavements with benches ease travel to local destinations and public transport stops.”

@expediagroup.bsky.social #BudgetCarHire. No refund: Expedia says Budget’s fault. Budget says was No refund contract. But they’re in breach of contract. Surely a partial refund is cheaper than defending a Breach of contract lawsuit? Can @expediagroup.bsky.social persuade Budget to compensate us? 2/2

@expediagroup.bsky.social #BudgetCarHire booked us to return hire car to an office they knew was being vacated before the return date. Swore they’d be there & the office open. Wasted hours getting car to another office miles away & getting back. 1/2

Need item about car parking charges and town centres. They don’t seem to know that the evidence shows that pedestrians & those travelling by cycle and public transport spend more than car users (less per trip but more trips).

Most drivers are not sociopaths. Don’t undermine good arguments - it’s unnecessary (there are so many facts on your side) and counterproductive
