DJBeddoes @drdjb.bsky.social · 13/11/2025A further thought - why is Haringey Council still on Twitter? 000
DJBeddoes @drdjb.bsky.social · 13/11/2025And just a thought? Is West Green Road still the most unhealthy high street in London, down from 5th most unhealthy in 2015? See the Royal Society for Public Health’s work on this for details. 000
DJBeddoes @drdjb.bsky.social · 13/11/2025Yet…Haringey Council is spending £35 million on improving roads? For drivers? What about people who ride bikes? Any infrastructure coming our way? 000

DJBeddoes @drdjb.bsky.social · 19/10/2025“Culturally coherent”? You should just say what you mean, which is “white”. And not Jewish. Disgusting. 010
DJBeddoes @drdjb.bsky.social · 19/10/2025I’m not sure you should be so rude about vaginas. Mine isn’t fascist or racist at all. 010

DJBeddoes @drdjb.bsky.social · 17/07/2025I 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 000
DJBeddoes @drdjb.bsky.social · 17/07/2025Not 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 020

DJBeddoes @drdjb.bsky.social · 05/07/2025Went 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. 121
DJBeddoes @drdjb.bsky.social · 21/06/2025Superb 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. 011
DJBeddoes @drdjb.bsky.social · 14/06/2025I wish you all the best for No Kings day - we’re watching over here (UK) because storms are gathering here too. I can’t compute what you’re going through- horrendous. 000

DJBeddoes @drdjb.bsky.social · 31/05/2025I’ve knitted all my life and I’ve never heard of unspun yarn. Looked it up: next project brewing! Thank you! 120
DJBeddoes @drdjb.bsky.social · 30/05/2025That happens to older people too. I reinvented myself at university when I went age 31. It opened worlds to me that I wouldn’t otherwise have thought about. (I also benefited from the company of younger people.) 020
DJBeddoes @drdjb.bsky.social · 29/05/2025Isn’t this a steal from Trump? “I am considering taking Three Billion Dollars of Grant Money away from a very antisemitic Harvard, and giving it to TRADE SCHOOLS all across our land," 110
DJBeddoes @drdjb.bsky.social · 24/05/2025I did this in Scapa Flow too - having never been diving and not knowing what a dry suit was. But as a consequence I ended up snorkelling in November on Islay, and there were seals in the water who played with us. It was beautiful and magical. Go there next. Getting older brings good things. 110

DJBeddoes @drdjb.bsky.social · 03/05/2025I had vague hopes for Starmer based on his commitment to tackling domestic abuse when at the CPS. I figured Labour couldn’t be worse than the Tories. But he’s useless, the Labour government is right wing and I am in despair about the direction of this country. 030

DJBeddoes @drdjb.bsky.social · 30/04/2025Unfortunately the Canadians came out confident and fighting. The UK has been fawning and desperate. 080
DJBeddoes @drdjb.bsky.social · 28/04/2025And my thoughts too - we’re surely acting sensibly. Defiance suggests we’re somehow obedient to Trump. Poor choice of words. 020
DJBeddoes @drdjb.bsky.social · 18/04/2025Trump 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!! 111

DJBeddoes @drdjb.bsky.social · 25/03/2025I particularly like Hejira and Blue (probably gets the most “best album” vote). But I like all of those I have - most are early though I’ve been listening to Shine recently. 110
