One of the nice things about BlueSky is slowly recreating the world I curated on Twitter over years. I rea a re-skeet, recognise the name, feel like I’ve found an old friend, and *follow*. I hope that one day my feed will be more cycling than politics, but this is where we are now… ❤️

I’m enjoying finding all my old Twitter follows over here (often through others’ reposts). But also, as on Twitter, there’s a point where the bots start following you and we have now reached that moment… 😬

I know the audience here is tiny, and he’ll probably never see it, but I have to tell someone that one of the best vascular surgeons in the UK is Prof Ian Loftus. He takes a real interest in his patients’ problems, gives you all the time you need, and supports his recommendations with logic (1/2)

At the moment, children who need powered mobility aids are restricted by law to walking speed in public places until they turn 14. But children running, cycling and riding horses are allowed to go much faster - as long as they don't endanger others.

A couple of months ago I had the privilege of visiting the Anne Frank house for the second time in my life (first was ~1993). As an adult, there is a deeper understanding of the realities and the horrors, the power of messaging and drive of hatred. Never, ever forget #HolocaustMemorialDay

“Trump is about to begin his Davos Speech”. And while Jakub here has a good grasp on what to expect, I also believe…
- it will ramble off into irrelevance
- it will be filled with of bravado (and lies)

Many of you did things this year you’d never have dreamed of being able to do in November last year. Next year you’ll do more, and we should have a great deal of hope because of that.
