My 1st meet-erview at my current place of work I decided to walk. I roughly knew the way but thought fun challenge to do it map-free. Just over 7 miles and I nearly made it bang on time before getting stuck on the wrong side of a dual carriageway & running the last 15 mins...

It's possible that the new Green MP Hannah Spencer is the only parliamentarian who had a manual job immediately before election.

#OtD 22 Feb 2018 20,000 teachers across West Virginia walked out on a wildcat strike protesting low pay and health benefit cuts. Rank and file teachers organised themselves, defied the union's call to return and stayed out until they won a 5% pay rise. stories.workingclasshistory.com/article/9469...
We want to support Girlguiding and the Women's Institute to remain inclusive. We think the law is on our side, and we're offering to cover all their costs.
But we need you to tell them how important trans inclusion is to you π
I regularly see people wondering how it's possible that there are so many musicians and writers and film makers and artists from a tiny nation like Iceland.
And the answer is really simple: State funding for art education and artists. I literally get a salary from the government to write books.
Just thinking quickly, they probably would do well at the sifting screen as those are usually hip height and need some strong arms to disperse the dirt.
This group probably would be the best to ask: disabledarchnetwork.weebly.com

Roses are red, violets are blue, your steak's in the street and your Viagra too?
A plastic wrapped steak labelled best before 17th Feb. Lying on the pavement with some handwritten notes and an empty box of viagra
Pre Valentine's day scenes in #hackney... Would love to know the story behind this?! The steak is best before the 17th? Why why is it in the street? And with the Viagra? Maybe it's the opening scene of a novel?
Yeah it's unbelievable some of the stuff given away around here π but it does need a bit of a clean up....

A gathering of people on the pavement by the A2 in New Cross Gate
A white bike in memorial to Irene Leardini. There are several bunches of flowers on the lappet above it, and several candles below it. To the right is a road with three lanes of traffic and no bus lane or space for cycling.
Very moving vigil for Irene Leardini by side of A2 in New Cross Gate tonight. She was cycling here two weeks ago. RIP.
Sad we are still gathering at the side of busy roads asking why nothing has been done to make them safe.
Thanks to all at @lewishamcyclists.bsky.social for organising the vigil.
