Up on the #allotment again today. I can't keep away!
This evening sowing carrots and parsnips, dodging the April showers.

Can We Fix Our Rigged Tax System? For nearly a half century, trickle-down economic policies have resulted in a tax system rigged in favor of the rich. Thi

For nearly a half century, trickle-down economic policies have resulted in a tax system rigged in favor of the rich. This is not only bad for our economy, but it’s leading to a billionaire takeover of our democracy as well. Watch. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wkiO0_uSJAk

American cities tell you that you, a pedestrian, don’t matter. They’re pretty direct

A satisfying Spring morning up on the #allotment.

Your regular reminder that dehumanizing the people who are dehumanizing others isn’t how we’re gonna get to liberation.

We have to live into the world we want to create.

If the map of deaths on railways looked like this, it'd be treated as a national emergency.

Have you sorted out the issue with waste and radiation leaks?
Seen the science on 'internal emmiters'?

Hook, line and sinker to big capital then. Business first, planet - to hell?

We need to be more efficient with our energy demand and use.
Let's not accept an exponential growth curve on this finite planet hone of ours.
We can be smarter than that.

Fun fact: every five months, the world builds as much solar power generation as all the nuclear power that has ever been built. And still some people dream of a ”nuclear renaissance”. That train has left the station long ago…

Highway filled with car congestion

Next time someone tries arguing that it’s “social engineering” (cue ominous music) to give people more CHOICE to walk, bike & take public transit in their city, tell them that designing our current car DEPENDENCY has been the largest and most damaging social engineering experiment in human history.

Short haul domestic flights are not welcome. There is a climate emergency.
If operators offer them, be clear to act on your ethics - decline.
Just take a train or coach and make good use of your (longer) journey time.

Buttercups close up in field. Clouds in blue sky. Looks nice.

Let’s make a thread. Post the antithesis of mutually assured destruction. Sending love and peace to all. We are better than this man, this war.

Third adventure. Thus Autumn, maybe Spain maybe Italy. 6 day pass.

Second trip. Last Summer. Took my daughter and her partner, plus my 3 year old granddaughter to Copenhagen via night in Koln in both directions, plus a few days in the real Legoland in Billund on the outward trip. Fabulous!

This will be my third trip, I live in Bristol.
1. Bought the passes in Winter sale and went to conference in Sienna. via Paris (night 1), Zurich, Chur (night 2), the Bernina Express, Florence (nights 3,4,5), Sienna (nights 5, 6, 7), then back to Paris (night 8) and home.

Decades of cross-border planning went into the Trans National Network. OK, much of the UK is an island, but Thatcher wasn't keen on thus. Yes, our geographic isolation dates right back in time.

Holiday advice: It's pleasant to get a train to Europe. You just have to turn travelling into a core part of the holiday - lunch in Paris, dinner in Bordeaux, trip to Spain, week on beach etc. It's limiting, but very enjoyable & decent alternative to a flight you won't be able to afford by summer.

I’m not on Facebook and won’t use it.

Closed my account entirely and deleted way back in 2017 when all its dirty data dealings came to light.

But I’ve given seat61’s website. And Rail Europe that I find terrific.

We have our InterRail passes at the ready!

Wouldn’t it be amazing if rail firms saw an opportunity here… 🤔

Study: How Capping Vehicle Sizes Could Help Save the World — Streetsblog USA A new study demonstrates the mutually reinforcing strategies of shrinking cars; shifting people to bikes, walking and transit; and electrification.

A multi-pronged transportation reform strategy is critical to curb climate change, slash road deaths, and more.
