After the protected bike lanes on Elizabeth Street were introduced, the percentage of women biking increased. This is a good thing! streets-alive-yarra.org/better-for-w...

Public pressure gets results: Elizabeth + Coppin St planned to be discussed in Feb – THIS TUES 8 April 2025 Yarra councillors vote on narrowing, amending or removing protected bike lanes in Richmond + we need your help to save them! Details + petition: www.yarrabug.org/yarra-for-sa...

Been informed that our winged friends moved 2k down the river so we might as well go home and have a beer

Like the toppling of Bashar al-Assad in Syria, the ouster of South Korean president Yoon Suk Yeol should give pause to all mercenaries who sell their capacity to inflict violence to whoever happens to control the government. If the despot you serve loses power, what do you think will happen to you?

The question of if a country could fuck itself harder than the UK did with Brexit has today been answered.

so as i understand it the president has driven an improvised fertilizer bomb directly into the foundation of global trade?

It’s still hard to believe the simple fact that this is all self-imposed. Everything that’s happening right now wasn’t the result of some foreign adversary destroying the country. We did this all to ourselves by electing the dumbest motherfucker to ever rule a nation.

Cars are about to get really expensive. May I recommend an ebike?

For the first time in Yarra Council’s history, Councillors are considering making existing bike lanes less safe. 🤯 If you want to save the Elizabeth Street bike lanes, come along to the Richmond Town Hall next Tuesday at 6:30pm!

Way to go Wisconsin! ✊🇺🇸💚

rebranding the 15 min city.

Melbourne bike lanes have a rich history, with Elizabeth Street in Richmond, that history is over thirty years. In Nov 2024 conservative Yarra councillors introduced a motion that could impact their existance despite decades of extensive work & community support: www.yarrabug.org/elizabeth-st...

An update & some words about Infrastructure Victoria draft 30-year infrastructure strategy + Inquiry into the impact of road safety behaviours on vulnerable road users. No doubt could write even more words ... www.yarrabug.org/2025/03/18/u...

I decided to start a #thread 🧵 of stories about legal residents and tourists being (illegally) arrested, detained and/or deported by the Trump regime. I'll only post stories from serious sources, as rumors and conspiracies are really not needed in this authoritarian moment.

Slightly new 3CR #podcast: talking to Mark Donnellon from Streets People Love Hobart, Victoria Parliament finally tabling final report of the Inquiry into Vulnerable Road Users + @criticalmassmelb.bsky.social Boroondara coming up on 28 March 2025 www.3cr.org.au/yarrabug/epi...

The US exports twice as much to us as we do to them. Time for some retaliatory tariffs. First up: American cars. Our streets could benefit from fewer shit-house stupidly large 'pickup trucks' that don’t fit in standard car parks.

Days since a trash can mishap: 0 This was a long time coming and it was a REALLY GOOD mishap bahahahaha full statement to follow

Worth noting that you can scan the code to fill in the petition to encourage the anti-cycling infrastructure City of Yarra council to do the right thing.

This is one of the saddest sentences I've ever read

Interesting color scheme and font here 🤔

‘Like a cat in a washing machine’: rescued rower feared he would die in Cyclone Alfred’s monster waves

Interesting-looking study on how the wealthy have a lot of capability to reduce their carbon emissions, but lack the motivation to do so doi.org/10.1371/jour...

This essay, mentioned by @georgemonbiot.bsky.social in his latest article, is chillingly relevant. Written in 2017, it is the warning we all downplayed back then. An unbearable depiction of the hatred for nature, vulnerability & femininity that has taken over in the US aeon.co/essays/the-m...

Facebook and YouTube have both put up barriers to people getting info during Cyclone Alfred, reminding us why governments shouldn’t be trusting closed, private platforms with crucial info during a crisis Read: thesizzle.com.au/p/facebook-y...

Just laid in my last cyclone supplies. More beer obviously. Saw a copy of the Courier Mail (the local Murdoch tabloid shit sheet) as I was leaving the bottle shop and the screamer headline “We’re in this together.” I thought yeah, thanks to you climate change denying cunts.

One of the absolute filthiest, slimiest and most shameless greenwashing campaigns of the past few years is, imo, this from Toyota: where they called their fossil + battery cars "electrified" in order to confuse potential pure electric customers On par with the fossil gas marketers in terms of evil

Reagan has been dead for over 30 years, not a single person under 45 has a substantive living memory of him as president, and everyone else knows him as the Republican God. Centering him in a DEMOCRATIC response to a GOP president in 2025 is like if Dems rallied around Herbert Hoover at Woodstock.

Stay safe Queensland !!!!!!!!!!!! Except for Bruce Lehrmann
