Just cycled through the Magdalenes on the quiet route, male driver cut a junction too tight into my lane coming towards me, I did emergency stop, didn't say anything or shake my head or raise my hand - he screamed 'you f@cking wee slag...you f@cking wee moron'.

Writing on windscreens in lipstick to protest illegal parking in cycle lanes was a tactic used in London when I lived there- good use of lipstick (pain to get off). Not that I am suggesting anything....

Another day, another coach in the bike lane. But it's ok because he "knows and we're leaving in a minute." Which is hard to believe when the coach is empty and the engine's running... @Edinburgh_CC @Eirebus

Went to my first ceilidh in ages last night, one of those ones where everyone was proper into it, and it was fucking class. Exhausting and frankly a miracle no one was injured (afaik), but still class.

I teach gender & SRH and always say the last country in Europe to have free accessible abortion is the UK. People in the UK dont ever give credence to the fact that in one part of our so called 'state' people dont have access to abortion. Its a disgrace.

Can’t help but feel frustrated this evening as UK twitter is full of (rightful) outrage about #RoeVsWade. Just a reminder - here in NI abortion is decriminalised but as services have STILL NOT BEEN COMMISSIONED there are countless barriers to actually accessing an abortion.

A big shout out to this woman on a BBC News at Ten vox pop last night: "Pro union, pro strikes, pro people needing to do what they need to do to get their wages up". Solidarity with @RMTunion workers.

Lets fight for the rights of people and cyclists together and try not to play the right wing press game of dividing over age, race, gender or any other division they try to push on us.
