After seeing a marvellous manhole cover in Tokyo's Ueno Park, I spent some time looking down- this is quite an art form.

“Finding affordable housing is already complicated. Doing so without feeling alone, without falling into the trap of "every man for himself," and committing to collective care, is even more so. At this crossroads, #cohousing emerges, a formula that goes far beyond simply sharing a roof”

Oh gawd. I’m a post apocalyptic thespian survivor with a mobile theatre company travelling between ramshackle communities in Canada and the US. Station Eleven

They "discovered" that when mice are rewilded they become less anxious.And this surprises scientists? Being trapped, tormented by experiments makes them more anxious than being free in nature. They had to learn this? People experimenting on caged animals lose empathy, weakening basic understanding.

If you're still unsure how you should feel about this administration, here's an easy tip.

The damage this is doing to the universities across the country is unspeakable.

BBC R4 comparing the US with Europe Wealth cannot be the only measure of ‘success’. We need to measure all nations against not only income but also social protections, environmental impacts, quality of life, happiness.

Trump free news sounds great You could always get hypnosis to swap out “Trump” for another word like Current bun”

Thank you @michaelburchert.bsky.social it was a great session - really interesting and informative.

7/n In a similar way, the enclosures of the commons in England at the end of the 1700s (and in much of Africa a century later) led to the creation of an army of proletarians who, unable to live off the land, had no choice but to take nightmarish jobs. Again, no substantive choice […]

The sheer power of a relentless right wing media assault on the Labour government. More people think this budget was no better or worse than Liz Truss’ disastrous, economy-crashing budget than see it as better. This persistent tsunami of propaganda isn’t just anti-Labour, it’s anti-reality.

The UK, where the day after a decision to take half a million children out of poverty, the media & political world has been full of sneering at those same children & their families, labelling them as ‘Benefits Street’, while the same people are moaning about a tax on £2m mansions. Shameful stuff.

Better Together: Is communal living the answer to modern malaise? – video

Erich Fromm once wrote a book called Fear Of Freedom. Here David Graeber relates some of Fromm's ideas to the modern world of work.

I took my kids ‘off grid’ for a whole year back when they were a similar age to these children. Now as young adults they reflect on that time as their ‘idyllic’ and free childhood. They are both now amazing young adults. edition.cnn.com/2025/11/23/e...

I would love to come and do this - but a bit of a distance from here in Wales, UK. ❤️

Our first HCRC webinar is next week! True to This, Not New to This explores the deep roots of community-led housing through land stewardship, mutual aid, and freedom-making. RSVP: housingcommonsresearch.ca/webinars/com... #CommunityLedHousing #LandStewardship #MutualAid #HousingJustice

DIGGERS AND DREAMERS PODCAST: Owen Jarvis is the CEO of the UK Cohousing Network. Owen describes his own journey from an urban community in his student days to five years at Findhorn and now… prmoting cohousing – a very particular type of intentional community. diggersanddreamers.org.uk/podcasts

One of the first things we will do as we finish the building for our #cohousing is to join an energy community, or start a new one. Energy communities are one of the better inventions of the @EUCommission. The idea is to encourage self-consumption, mutualization and conviviality around energy […]

Ecovillage Design: Models for Regenerative Urban Neighborhoods - https://www.archdaily.com/1026678/ecovillage-design-models-for-regenerative-urban-neighborhoods

Every #cohousing neighborhood has the seeds of an #ecovillage: sustainable community, resident leadership, and a willingness to live well together and collaborate on problem solving.

I love Ted Talks Just found this great one by Teri Hofford ❤️ www.ted.com/talks/teri_h...

Newmarket MP Matt Hancock gave a £37bn Covid testing contract to Jockey Club director Dido Harding, who subcontracted it to Grand National sponsor Randox, employer of Tory MP Owen Paterson, whose late wife chaired Aintree racecourse. That's how the Tories handled the pandemic.

Who’d have guessed it? The main BBC board member resisting a simple apology and reinforcing the right wing attack on the BBC from within, was a Tory government appointee and founder of GB TV. If you want impartiality, Gibb has to go. Nick Robinson on X:

Tax the billionaires.

Just heard professor Kevin Anderson on BBC R4 this morning. COP 30 - hijacked by oil, abandoned by the richest countries. Some sage and wise words suggesting COP is no longer fit for purpose.

Last night, Peers voted against Swift bricks: rejecting a simple, proven way to help one of our fastest declining birds recover. ❌ We share @hannahbournetaylor.bsky.social's disappointment & frustration. The vote came late, but with government refusing to back it, its fate was already sealed.

Billionaire Bill Gates says we should back away from urgent emissions cuts and bet instead on tomorrow’s tech. But unless that innovation is democratically controlled, it will serve the same interests that caused the climate crisis in the first place.
