With the snow falling it’s hard not to think of those sleeping rough and how difficult it must be In Liverpool if you see someone sleeping rough, the Severe Weather Emergency Protocol has been activated today and people are urged to call this number if they see someone on the streets

Living vicariously through you @merryngott.bsky.social !! (next time!!! 🇳🇿😍)

There’s a special place for the person who designed the ‘SSHRC compulsory CV’ 😫

One of the key thinking behind our project, In All Our Footsteps www.allourfootsteps.uk, has been that the experience of paths is different according to whether you are solo rather than in a group as well as gender, ability etc. This news story is a depressing reminder of that 😞

Workplace ‘Daily Updates’ team reading the room 💙

Hello @hesterparr.bsky.social (and the SAD team) - Incase of interest and you haven't come across it yet, I'm signposting the Running Artfully Network, and specifically work of Matti Tainio on darkness. www.runningartfullynetwork.com/artists/matt...
