Disabled women know more than most how blocking access to toilets isn’t a minor inconvenience - it’s a form of segregation from everyday life. It is turning down drinks with friends as you worry you can’t fulfil a basic human need if you go out. And knowing society has made the choice not to care.

For the London heads: know a community building that could do with solar panels to lower energy bills? Want to do some tree planting, or teach kids green skills? I discovered London councils are sitting on £130m+ that should be funding local climate action www.theguardian.com/environment/...

For National Library Week, we can't recommend enough @shannonmattern.bsky.social's 2014 essay "Library as Infrastructure." A decade on, it remains a potent argument for libraries as social, technological & intellectual infrastructure — part of a critical network of institutions buoying public life.

“I think Mr Trump learned to do business in the New York mafia-influenced real estate market & that his tactics are based on extortion – you hit & keep hitting for as long as you do not get a good price for stopping.

I understand why council leaders fancy their chances but this is such a weird idea. The mayor of London already has (arguably) less real power than any of those council leaders because London boroughs are so autonomous. www.londoncentric.media/p/the-plan-t...
