Walking to work in London and being hit by a thump of culture shock. It’s amazing how many people are commuting to work on public bicycles here! Inspiring, really!

Aotearoa New Zealand,
Everywhere that Chris Luxon, David Seymour, Winston Peters or any CoC-up govt MPs turn up, I want you to #TurnYourBacks. Give your back to them and their cameras. Do it for Palestine!
If they're speaking, turn your back. If they enter any room, turn your back!

The next time someone tells you adding good bike infrastructure will disadvantage disabled people, show them this short clip of an Utrecht bike street (fietsstraat).
Controlling cars makes access better for everyone, and opens public space to more of the public.

In 1942, National MP F. W. Doidge in a parliamentary debate accused Peter Fraser's government, and in particular Minister of Labour Paddy Webb, of being "spineless" for not cracking down on striking workers during WWII. He was not reprimanded. babel.hathitrust.org/cgi/pt?id=uc...

None of these invisible, complicit National MP’s turned up to the debate on Gaza.
They could have said something but they didn’t even show up.
Come election and voting, remember these faces and dont vote for them.

It's considered very disorderly, and worthy of punishment, in the House of Parliament to imply that members should have strength of character, if you're wondering what kind of bullshit goes on in there.
