This is really sad news. RIP Martin Parr. One of the great photographers. What a legacy he leaves, I attended a talk he gave to MMU students,a few years back, he was still full of passion for photography & very open and encouraging to the next generation. He set up his Foundation in Bristol too. 📸🕊️

The death of browsing is part of the reason art is the way it is now. Our opinions are largely fed to us by algorithms. Spending a spare 15 minutes wandering around a bookstore or comic shop or video rental place was how you found stuff you wouldn't ordinarily pick up and thereby expanded your taste
Bookselling is like the most "people go to the store and buy what looks cool to them without a particular agenda" type business left, and your purchases have a huge influence on what is ordered, what is displayed, and what is recommended.

Vanished 240 years ago, the UK’s largest bird of prey – the white-tailed eagle – just returned to English skies like it never left.

Well worth a read 👏⚽️
“It’s not weak or soft or ‘woke’ to stand up to this bullshit.”

You’ve probably heard about the non-league match that was abandoned after the female ref was abused. Now read the truth about the incident from somebody who was actually there (@chrisnee.co.uk)
Rushden & Diamonds match abandonment was the right response from the referee. Non-league deserves a better reaction.
The idiotic opinions of social media meatheads have no bearing on football safeguarding in the real world

This is a small snow plow for sidewalks

If your city plows the roads but leaves sidewalks up to property owners, your city hates pedestrians.

Lights Up this evening was a JOY. Such a delight to cycle with friends and 200 other people, mainly women, around the city as a disco on wheels. Loved it. Could do it every week. #bikesky #lightsupride #ridesforwomenmcr

A wonderful “Lights Up 2025” #glowride Disco On Wheels cycle in Manchester this evening. Many parks & quiet routes feel unsafe to women & girls in the dark nights. About 200 cyclists with music+lights. Empowering ✊🚦💡🚲
Thanks organisers & ride leaders.

Y’know I always draw on my envelopes? Well. I started by just drawing the little bee during lockdown. And the local post office lady just loves my doodles. They always make her smile. Well I went in yesterday and she gave me this for my birthday, and it was so kind and frickin’ sweet I almost sobbed

In 2008 the House of Commons Transport Committe recommended far wider use of 20mph limits with PACTS recommending a 20mph national default. Had UK Gov done that in 2008, then Welsh evidence (-25%) shows it would have saved over 300,000 casualties on UK roads since then.
