💥The Netherlands' largest pension fund, has sold its shares in Tesla, Meta, and Alphabet (Google). The fund with US $569 billion equivolent in assets is "directing more money to companies and projects that help to improve society and the environment." #Divest www.reuters.com/markets/euro...

Wonder how the UK monarchists are feeling about the prospect of another royal family in the world?

This essay by trans cyclist Austin Killips is a must-read and is a perfect dismantling of the lie that Republicans are trying to "save women's sports."

Would rather install a monarch than walk on own legs…

A strong energy system seems like the most basic level of national security. Insulating homes and diversifying generation is actually strategic defence

Successful second homes crackdown means homes are £30k cheaper for Cymry, who actually need them.

First Warm Showers 🚿 🚲 request of the year- the end of winter?

No because the Highlands have had blue skys and crisp frosts ;)

Free speech absolutionists…

catching up on yesterdays CX racing while working on my Highland Cycle Campaign action points.

It's not a great DJ name, if I'm being honest.

Don’t forget #CyclingBlueSky, some bicycle racing is still free. More of this, please! #SetmanaCiclista www.youtube.com/live/tdL1_2S...

Braving the onslaught of romance themed EVERYFUCKINGTHING today.

Cheap, accessible, safe transport systems (not cars) are key to so much 🚲🚊🚍⛴️🚶‍♀️‍➡️

Northern regions have further chances to see the aurora over the next few nights 👀 Cloudy skies mean limited viewing opportunties for most of us, but with clearer skies in northern and western Scotland, there's a much better chance here 🙌

"Cycling is not a practical daily travel option for most people." In 2022, 26% of car trips in the UK were shorter than 1 mile, and 71% were under 5 miles. A 5-mile bike ride takes around 30 minutes. Provide people with the option to cycle and build more safe infrastructure

Not sure I've seen purple saxifrage flowering so early before. 9th February in the West Highlands. May be a record and sign of milder winters #wildflowers #wildflowerhour @bsbibotany.bsky.social @plantlifeuk.bsky.social @wildflowerhour.bsky.social @christianhindle.bsky.social

Wee mountain - big vibes! A day exploring some of the many coires of Beinn Bhan

Walking home from work tonight and welcoming the return of light in the evening sky

this for everyone in the highlands that thinks dualling the A9 is the answer - it'll being more traffic, and that means more accidents.

“We found there’s this perfect one-to-one relationship. If a city increased its road capacity by 10% then driving went up by 10%.” Still one of the best articles on why building bigger roads leads to more driving. Understanding “The Unbreakabke Law Of Congestion” aka #InducedDemand. Via @wired.com

Yes please highland.gov.uk !

Imagine you were the richest man in the world. You could have anything you wanted, go anywhere you wished, do whatever took you fancy. How would you spend your weekend? Depriving the poorest people in the world of food and healthcare and boasting about it?

Is it thou?

What’s his beef against USAID in particu….oh. Wow.

Great to see this from some of the velocity crew highlandcyclecampaign.org/velocity-lan...

So are Vancouver bartenders whipping up a maple syrup and tequila cocktail?

“It’s proof that slower speeds on our roads save lives. It also means more people having the freedom to make their journey by foot or by bike, because it’s safer to do it”, says Cycling UK – but Tories slam “confusion and frustration for drivers” road.cc/312419 #cycling

100% team Brand - that grit, that heart, just love to watch her race. But as the saying goes you come for the queen you better not miss... Now I got the tears. #CXWorlds

I honestly believe our most powerful position in a toxic time that feeds on cynicism, apathy,& despair is to genuinely care and act for a better world. Cynicism is our enemy. We should check it, incl. on the left. It’s not intellectually superior. It’s the virus they’re trying to infect us with. NO

@brycey00.bsky.social 👋👋👋👋

Like at what point are we gonna boycott the USA?

So what’s your thoughts ahead of this weekend? #cxworlds ik moet just niks 🔥🔥 #cyclingblesky

It took 9 days to get us to “permanent concentration camp” policies.
