Beautiful clouds over Ally Pally today.

I like the references to cycling…hubs, wheels, cycles etc…subtle nods to the role of good cycling infrastructure in addressing the climate crisis. @londoncycling.bsky.social @cyclist.co.uk

Not just residential streets. West Green Road in Tottenham is horrendous- you can taste the pollution, the buses can’t get through because of parking both sides of the road - and random illegal parking adds to the horror. @mikehakata.bsky.social

Went to an art history taster today @citylit.bsky.social, run by @sarahj.bsky.social, who is clearly passionate about her subject. Five mini-lectures in 2 hours, going from 13th century Iranian tiles to Yoko Ono, through the lenses of iconography, materiality, historiography and more. Fascinating.

Superb end to the @sciencewise.bsky.social & @ukri.org dialogue on ultra processed foods. Newham participants, I salute you for a long, thoughtful and broad list of where @ukri.org needs to focus future food research funding. And a wonderful job from Hopkins Van Mil! Looking forward to the report.

Trump has told the UK that if we want tariff relief we need to buy chlorinated chicken from the US. We don’t want crap food here. Sign the petition to keep chlorine-washed chicken off our shelves. It’s dangerous and unnecessary. Sign deals with the EU, for god’s sake!!

My desk is surrounded by a jungle because of this - and other people giving me clippings adds to the green. I will soon be able to hide in there.

Stop Funding Hate @stopfundinghate.bsky.social · 22/03/2025

Just weeks after the Telegraph published an article falsely suggesting that #StopFundingHate had received government funding (we haven’t, and wouldn’t), it seems they’re putting together another hostile piece about the campaign… (1)

Have Marks & Spencer stopped supporting the racism & misogyny then? I haven’t seen their name in your more recent lists.

I’d settle for just being treated as a person much of the time. And your post made me think of Donna Haraway too: I’d rather be a cyborg than a goddess. But your sentiment is nonetheless appreciated: cheers to men who celebrate this day.

From what I hear, closer links with Europe - maybe even rejoining- would reduce red tape significantly.

Little Kipper died last night, after 17 years keeping us company in the most delightful, affectionate, entertaining and worrisome way. We’ll miss her so much. Pictures from her first year and her last. #catsofbluesky

@egbeds.bsky.social hi egbeds- welcome. Maybe you can stop me doomscrolling. Had a horrible time facilitating today - those far right blokes who can’t think straight get everywhere. Looking forward to tomorrow. X

Watch some @aoc.bsky.social - she is producing the right energy given the dire circumstances. Really makes you feel like the fascists can be defeated (I’ve finally realised I need to use that word and that it’s not overkill).

Sorting out my dad’s house today - he died recently, age 93 - I found this copy of the Telegraph, 4 September 1939. Seemed pertinent today as we face fascism again. (He cancelled his subscription during Brexit: said the coverage was full of lies & bigotry.)
