Folks have been telling me they’ve noticed I’ve gotten “a lot more political” on social media this year. Of course I have. The circumstances have gotten nightmarishly worse, and the consequences of inaction and staying silent infinitely more obvious. Everyone needs to get “a lot more political.”

Pleased to have published some findings on the role of memory in play environments, in the Children, Youth and Environments journal. muse.jhu.edu/pub/579/arti... Please get in touch and I'm happy to send a copy along.

Timely report as we’re discussing the impact of motor vehicles on children’s play. “A child is killed every day on our roads, yet cars are being made so large that children are invisible from the driver’s seat. How is that acceptable?” www.theguardian.com/world/2025/j...

On my way into work this morning I saw this, on a rare “home zone” in Bristol, where cars do not have priority. Imagine the time and energy this must have taken! Imagine the sense of belonging, of “my space, my street, my community”. Imagine if all children had this. @playingout.bsky.social

Fuck this, absolutely fuck this, everyone who loves audiobooks loves their favourite narrators because they are great at their jobs and interpreting the author's words and they make the experience what it is www.theguardian.com/books/2025/m...

Great to hear that Scarth Street Mall in Regina will remain a pedestrian-only public space! I couldn't be at the meeting today so submitted a communication alongside @whitneyblaisdell.bsky.social on the importance of this space. I look forward to upcoming plans for future activation! #yqrcc #yqr
