Back in academia studying GIS! Enthusiastic about maps and biodiversity; angry about energy, waste, and bike infrastructures 👹🌍🚴‍♀️🇩🇰 (she/her)

@MyGlasgowCC @GlasgowCC Our blue bins have now not been collected for over a month (two missed collections) & they are overflowing with waste from the Christmas period. If we submit a missed collection form it is immediately closed as a duplicate. Could you please sort this out.

[Agnes Berner @whereisagnes]

@ScotRail @scotrail it arrived 🙏

[Agnes Berner @whereisagnes]

@ScotRail the sign at Loch Awe Station says the 21:15 train to Glasgow is cancelled, but I can't find any info online, please help?

[Agnes Berner @whereisagnes]

@ScotRail The screen said 'canacelled' and now it's showing no info. Just spoke to your costumer service phone line, they said it's delayed and expected to arrive at 21:46, so i'll wait around

[Agnes Berner @whereisagnes]

Can anyone recommend literature on the development of energy infrastructure in Denmark ca. 1970-2000, especially the impact of the oil crisis on (govt investments into) energy efficiency? #dkforsk #dkenergi

[Agnes Berner @whereisagnes]

@UrbanistTOC Im pretty sure you can borrow a bike cargo trailer from Southside Tool Library

[Agnes Berner @whereisagnes]

@BBCSimonJack @fuel_bank This is because prepayment customers don't have the privilege of spreading costs evenly over 12 months. And prepay tariffs are also higher than direct debit. Once again, those who have the least gets to pay the highest price.

[Agnes Berner @whereisagnes]

@BBCSimonJack Even more dire for prepay customers: 'In January 2022, prepayment meter customers paid on average £183 for a month’s energy. By this Christmas the same customer will need to pay £480 for energy during December alone.' January 2023 would be £713, says @fuel_bank.

THE THING IS THAT EVERYONE CALLS THEM ‘SEAGULL’ BUT THERE ARE TWELVE SPECIES OF GULL REGULARLY SEEN IN BRITAIN AND NONE OF THEM ARE ACTUALLY CALLED ‘SEAGULL’

[Agnes Berner @whereisagnes]

@seanbaillie9 Not Scottish Power, on the basis of awful customer service. Octopus and EDF seem decent at the moment. Changing supplier is not easy right now, go for whoever doesn't force you on a fixed tariff (higher than the price cap). I work as an energy advisor, lmk if you need more help.

[Living Rent @Living_Rent]

"Our landlord wants us to move out, and the only properties we can move to - of a similar or smaller size - are double the rent we are currently struggling to pay. Full time work doesnt provide enough income for us to pay rent + bills + buy food, all of which we only just manage.

[BabelColour @StuartHumphryes]

These are not dystopian scenes from Blade Runner. Instead, to mark the Jubilee, I actually transport you back 70 years to the London of 1952 and The Great Smog that year which killed 10,000 Londoners and made a further 100,000 ill. The event directly resulted in the Clean Air Act

Skal man have egen podcast før man bliver hørt?
Dagens 2 patienthistorier.
1. Kvinde flygtet fra land i krig. Bor nu med ægtefælle & børn i Danmark. Husker intet af sit liv før militæret brød ind i deres lejlighed i hjemlandet med hidsige hunde. Slog hende & pudsede hundene på

@shmermel @SMWadgymar @Lagomarsino_L @TheLemurGuy @tomkimmerer Banana production is awful, anyone interested should watch the 2014 documentary Bananaland

@MurphyNiallGLA I love that building, cycle past it every day on my way to work!

[Agnes Berner @whereisagnes]

@GlasgowCC When are you gonna start accepting plastic (other than bottles) in the recycling bins? Other places have been recycling plastic for years, come on @GlasgowCC

[Agnes Berner @whereisagnes]

i've spent at least 10 hours calling/emailing/waiting for them, so that's £1 compensation per hour of my time they have wasted 🤡

[Agnes Berner @whereisagnes]

just received a £10 compensation from british gas for the inconvenience of having to call them 9 times over the course of 7 months to get my smart meter fixed. such generosity amirite girls!
