A talk I gave earlier this year has, unfortunately, become relevant again this week so I've published it here. open.substack.com/pub/neurodiv...

At the slag heaps at Warton tonight. They are eroding into the sea - Nothing can stop that and that’s awful, but gosh it is beautiful up there. #photo #photography #contemporaryphotography

A great book - A guide to navigating the crisis we are in and those yet to come. I will read and refer back to this again and again. Clear, uncomplicated - telling it like it is, with imaginative thought experiments and tasks to complete on the way - so powerful. #book #booksky

Fancy joining Joseph Earl and myself for a walk (drift!) from Hest Bank to Bolton-le-Sands next Friday 2nd May, 10am-12? We will be thinking, doing, imagining, meeting, communicating, rethinking, reimagining and perhaps even (undoing?) along the way. www.trybooking.com/uk/events/la...

In this week’s newsletter, we share a conversation that explores an ongoing effort to gain legal recognition of the Los Cedros cloud forest as co-creator of a song, which if successful, will be a world first. Listen to what true creative reciprocity with the Earth can sound like. buff.ly/SKXbTG9

Taking some time out with this old friend in the hills today. #photo #photography #blackandwhitephotography

The groundbreaking autistic-directed film The Stimming Pool celebrates autistic joy, also its creators acknowledge that “It would be impossible to make a film that encapsulates the entire experience, because it is so varied.” Saskia Baron reviews. www.theguardian.com/film/2025/ma... #neurodiversity

Thinking about the transience and fragility of salt marsh on the Barrow train today. #photography #photo #longexposurephotography

“Sudden change is easier to register than quiet, chronic change. But it is an illusion to imagine that a shaking earth is scarier than a slowly warming one.” — @ericajberry.bsky.social Read “The Fault of Time” by Erica Berry. emergencemagazine.org/essay/the-fa...

Yesterday, moments after I took this photograph, I heard my first Skylark of the year. It is a wonderful, uplifting experience I acknowledge every year as we move into springtime. #photo #photography #contemporaryphotography

Thanks Liz, it is so great to have this brilliant work read to me! Last year i recommended Matter and Desire by Andreas Weber to a lot of people.

#morecambebaysketchclub meet every month to walk and #draw together and with Morecambe Bay (Arnside today). It’s been an absolute pleasure to bring this group together and so good for my well-being over the winter! It is a no hierarchy group where drawing is kindness… #art #community #drawing

@flakphoto.news has compiled this great list to help us find fellow #photo and #art people. Thanks Andy, it’s hard to start again! bsky.app/profile/did:...

Just started working my way through this. I can remember when everyone thought the internet was going to be some kind of utopia too!

Empire of Normality unfolds the history of the ‘normal mind’ as a product of capitalism and how that has shaped perceptions of neurodiversity, mental health and disability. It is a great book! I wonder how this has also shaped our relationships with/to nature? #booksky #neurodiversity

The Curlew’s haunting call is fading from our landscapes. Wetland loss has pushed this wader to the brink, but our conservation efforts are helping them return to key breeding sites. #ReverseTheRedDay

It was too cold to hold the charcoal steady at #MorecambeBaySketchClub yesterday but the beach and bubbling sea by Heysham's nuclear power station made for an incredible landscape to explore.
