E-bike and e-scooter share scheme: the City of Port Phillip is running a trial of corrals for parking share bikes and scooters. This is a strategy to get them *off* the footpaths, where they create hazards for pedestrians. There is one already operating near the Metro supermarket on Fitzroy St, pictured. We're looking for suggestions of other places for them to go--- places where you see many bikes and scooters blocking the footpath. Where would you like to see corrals? #CityOfPortPhillip #melbourne #cycling

I’m especially loving the regular events that Santilla Chingaipe (and her rotating roster of guest curators) is putting on in #Melbourne / #Narrm lately.

First Chapter is a book-club-ish gathering, collectively reading aloud the first chapter of a book, followed by thoughtful discussions. Recent titles have included Toni Morrison, Virginia Woolf, and Maxine Hong Kingston. Love me a gathering where an intersectional feminist lens is the default.

No Skips are events where an album is played through, in full, in order, to an audience - you can chatter quietly, read a book, dance - how you take in the music is up to you. Recent artists include Miles Davis, Mos Def, Abdullah Ibrahim, and Eddie Palmieri.

They’ve been some of my favourite moments of this winter. The buzz of a new, warm community.

Details can be found here, though Santi’s posts are a bit ephemeral! https://firstchapter.ghost.io

This event is jointly hosted by Extinction Rebellion and Beyond Billionaires. It is a hybrid event - attend in person at Friends of the Earth office & stay for afternoon tea, or participate on Zoom.
#justice #melbourne
It will be a bit like a book club in that you will be offered some reading in advance. You will get the most out of the discussion if you do some preparation, but you are welcome to join us even if you don't have time for much preparation.

We will be exploring two very inspiring recent international reports that look at how addressing wealth inequality within and between nations can help preserve a livable planet.

On the Melbourne suburban rail loop. The problem is that you have incredible inequity in the transport system. After you have electrified Melton, and after you have finished the airport rail, and after you have improved the Hurstbridge, Lilydale and Belgrave lines to equivalent to Frankston. After all that, then you might consider SRL. It's scandalous. #melbourne #trains #auspol

Roadmap to Zero: Safe Travel Strategy and Action Plan will go to a Council Meeting on Wednesday 5 August.
Despite the concerted campaign against evidence based road safety improvements, particularly speed reductions on local roads and dedicated bike infrastructure, consultation showed that our community puts a high priority on safer pedestrian infrastructure and safer cycling infrastructure.
Our community also shows strong support for safer speed limits around schools.
Strategy and consultation report: https://haveyoursay.portphillip.vic.gov.au/road-safety-2026
The safe travel strategy and action plan will go to council tomorrow (Wednesday).
If you can speak in favour of the Safe Travel Strategy on Wednesday, register by 12pm Wednesday here: https://www.portphillip.vic.gov.au/about-the-council/council-meetings/participate-at-council-meetings

Just as an aside, this is not just about corrosive social influence of gambling, there's substantial cultural corrosion too

Melbourne had the most generative, vibrant music scene in Aus through the eighties. Kennett arrived in the nineties and changed the gambling laws and all the little pubs that'd resorted to live music to get new punters in the door when all their established clientele were dying off and moving into care homes bought into pokies. the scene died almost immediately

This review reads well - we've had breakfast there - but there's no way I'm ever paying $30 for a bowl of pasta, let alone $40. I think my days of having dinner at classy restaurants are over.

Hey folks, letting you know that the #Newkind Australian Social Change Conference is coming up, running from 30th Sept through to 4th October this year in Dja Dja Wurrung Country, in Redbank, Victoria.

This is genuinely one of the best events I've ever attended, and I'm very fortunate to be speaking again this year. The event prices includes all meals, entertainment, and a place for you to camp, with an option of tent hire available. The conference is family friendly.

I'll personally be presenting on urban plant fibres, enshittification trends, and will also be helping at the repair cafe. There are talks and workshops examing the racial justice, wealth inequality, indigenous knowledge, Polynesian dance, degrowth, and more.

Retoots appreciated.

"It has been another very successful year for #Melbourne #Jewish #Book Week (#MJBW).

About 2,000 people attended the many outstanding MJBW events held at the Pullman Hotel in #AlbertPark this weekend.

MJBW launched with a gala opening event at #GlenEira Town Hall on Saturday night. The evening featured music, humour and stories from an international cast of #authors, including #RachelCockerell, #YishayIshiRon, #AyeletTsabari, #AliBerg, #DannyBenMoshe, #KatiaAriel, #AlanFyfe and #BillyAlbert.

#DebbieLee, MJBW Festival Director, said in her opening speech, “It might sound clichéd, but through adversity we find strength, and Melbourne Jewish Book Week is a prime example of that."
