Until his death last week, I had no idea who #Natenom was - and now my social media feeds are full of news about him and a car driver having killed him

Some thoughts about activism, and that we ought to look after our activists when they are alive 👇

Les militantes/s de l’EELV-UK manifestent contre l’arrivée du facho Éric Zemmour à Whitechapel, banlieue diverse et voisine de City of London, à Londres

Zemmour n’est pas bienvenu ici, ou en les deux Bretagnes

La diversité est notre puissance

And sorry to pour cold water on your rail euphoria, but I’d be astounded if anyone manages to run a train competing with Eurostar through the Channel Tunnel in the next 5 years

Happily remind me of this toot in 5 years. Because were I wrong I’ll be happy as I’d welcome a rival. And were I right then at least I was right 😉

Toot like an “influencer”: laud Montpellier’s free public transport as it pushes the emotional buttons of your followers

Toot with coherence: look at similar schemes (like Tallinn) and see it’s not the panacea the influencers think it is

Interesting the BBC is reporting on border road blocks at the Col de Banyuls 🇫🇷 🇪🇸
https://www.bbc.com/news/world-europe-67227686

But there’s no mention of Schengen in the piece. Anyone crossing on foot here is not breaking any law

This problem is prevalent at this border. Pic 1 is Latour de Carol - Puigcerdà (still blocked), Pic 2 Hendaye - Irún (now unblocked)

In case you missed it, the official Mastodon Android app has been updated to include hashtag following and Mastodon's Lists feature! 🎉

The latest version of the app is v2.2.0.

Also, a reminder that you don't need to use the official app at all, you can get most features a lot sooner on third-party apps (e.g. Tusky, Fedilab, Megalodon, Subway Tooter etc).

Third-party apps for all platforms are listed on Mastodon's official site at https://joinmastodon.org/apps (scroll down past the official app).
