I've belatedly joined the Green Party. Should have done it decades ago, but the second best time for these things is always now.

This is part of my ongoing 2025 theme of switching support away from organisations that wish me harm and towards those that will stand up for me or my friends or future.

My new county councillor is a Green, and I even voted for them.
Labour previously held the ward with >50% vote share, and they put up a superstar candidate.
I chose to switch my vote because of Labour’s abandonment of my trans friends. I hope they get the message.

Dear Internet: you can stop showing me adverts for sheds. I've decided not to buy one.

There are some clever people on my TL but not all are clever enough to enable me to understand their toots without additional internet searches.
If I need to look up more than an average of, say, 1.5 terms per toot, then
A) I won’t bother
B) perhaps I’m not your people
C) maybe you aren’t as clever as you think

I can and will do better but for now, just pleased to make it all the way through without stopping!

#BikeTooter I need to specify a bike shed so a friend can build it for me (I have zero practical aptitude), so I can comfortably store 2 bikes in as small a footprint as possible.
I'm thinking 1.1m x 1.1m x 2m vertical storage might be sufficient?
Anyone have tips or links to designs I might adapt?
