@Bogbeautiful @dcsdcouncil @mayordcsdc Local authorities in NI and @deptinfra treat urban trees and highway trees as decoration not lifetime investments

[Mark Lusby @MarkLusby]

Sad that ⁦@dcsdcouncil⁩ and ⁦@mayordcsdc⁩ have announced that some of the trees in Harbour Square are to be cut down to make way for public art. #treesareart #climateemergency

Oh no. Time to close the sea border?

@GAHargan I think the last time we had a task force on FE/HE expansion in Derry, the politicians were ‘bought off ‘ with Irish language and music being centralised to Magee and the Tip O’Neill Chair.

@AmandaFBelfast A genuinely nice person who made everyone feel important when she was talking to them.

@nwmforum @BenRosher @dcsdcouncil At least the street furniture interrupted the clear flight path of the pigeons. We’ll be back to low level, 150mph swoops of the feral pigeon squadron from Waterloo Place into Guildhall Square.

@PaulGosling1 Oh no!

Troubles ‘humour’ needs to be put through some sort of filter before it ends up as semipermanent murals on our streets. #internationalwomensday2024 #iwd2024

@pauljmullan01 Which Burntollet Bridge? The Newest Bridge under construction in the background, the New Bridge under demolition in the middle foreground and part of the Old Burntollet Bridge under demolition in the bottom right. A trinitarian symbol of addiction to building ever faster roads.

@zenobiewan @LibrariesNI @IrelandMapped What’s the event?

[Mark Lusby @MarkLusby]

@maxwiggan Okay for a traumatised teenager to have had that thought in the middle of conflict. Not okay for that thought to be displayed on a public street within a home decor motif but without full context. Pouring paint over the heads of young women was never okay.
