Many thanks to everyone who's shared and followed this (unusually slow) walk-in-progress over the past two weeks. The full thread (122 posts) is below.

So much of this resonates. And I know it’s not all about me but it is a very depressing space to occupy as someone who actually likes teaching and thinks it matters. A kind of mass grief, really.

I took a walk from King's X to Blackfriars with the brilliant artist Christie Swallow on a blustery day and it became an Anastrophes podcast! Listen in to 'Queer Ecology, the Imagination, and Lost Landscapes' here: linktr.ee/anastrophes

One of the things I miss about old Twitter is if I posted something like this on there then my entire print run for that week would sell out in about two hours and I’d spend days fulfilling the orders. I’ve only sold one print via Bluesky in all the time I’ve been here.

Woop woop! New publication with the brilliant #WalkCreate team 'creative walking, repetition, rhythm and respite in pandemic times' in a new volume on walking and leisure. So many fab looking chapters. But it's £££ so get your library to buy (or DM if you'd like to read the chapter) 🚶‍♀️🏙️🏞️

The mahonia at the community garden are ripe, so the kids made juice, super tasty, but needed sugar #UrbanGrowing #Hackney #CityGarden 🚶‍♀️🏙️🌱

PSA for anyone attempting to get to Tremenheere sculpture garden on foot... Do not follow Google! You cannot walk along the Longrock bypass, & you cannot cross it at the marked point, unless you have a death wish/no children with you. #Cornwall #CarFree #FamilyAdventure #walking

An adder zipping off the coast path at Hayle yesterday 🐍! Can you spot it? Making a perfect s shape.

Hey not sure what happened to this! I just paid £5+ for a 12 minute lime ride in hackney... I would have bought a pass, but I thought there was a borough cap? Anyone know if it's actually running? @hackneycyclist.bsky.social

Got up for the sunrise yesterday at hackney marshes, a beautiful new gathering building there over a couple of years. 'we don't know what this is' just invites people to come, hang out, wait for the sun, notice the changing season ☀️ 🌅🏙️🚶‍♀️

🦇 I see that The Sunday Telegraph, in their desperation to run yet another negative story this weekend undermining wildlife protection, again based on misinformation, have resorted to quoting one of their own journalists as a complainant and made it look like he is not one of their journalists. 1/x

Consider doing this, even if you've never written anything. Maximum inconvenience.

In Japan there are 36 words for walking! Like Japanese cities, the language is highly pedestrian friendly

It's possible that the new Green MP Hannah Spencer is the only parliamentarian who had a manual job immediately before election. Are there any others?

Shh! Jeanne Claude and Christo have been making secret artworks on the streets of Hackney.

Bernd & Hilla Becher show at Spruth Magers in London is phenomenal.

#OtD 22 Feb 2018 20,000 teachers across West Virginia walked out on a wildcat strike protesting low pay and health benefit cuts. Rank and file teachers organised themselves, defied the union's call to return and stayed out until they won a 5% pay rise. stories.workingclasshistory.com/article/9469...

We want to support Girlguiding and the Women's Institute to remain inclusive. We think the law is on our side, and we're offering to cover all their costs. But we need you to tell them how important trans inclusion is to you 👇

I regularly see people wondering how it's possible that there are so many musicians and writers and film makers and artists from a tiny nation like Iceland. And the answer is really simple: State funding for art education and artists. I literally get a salary from the government to write books.

Just thinking quickly, they probably would do well at the sifting screen as those are usually hip height and need some strong arms to disperse the dirt. This group probably would be the best to ask: disabledarchnetwork.weebly.com This also might be helpful: www.bajr.org/wp-content/u...

Pre Valentine's day scenes in #hackney... Would love to know the story behind this?! The steak is best before the 17th? Why why is it in the street? And with the Viagra? Maybe it's the opening scene of a novel?

Today's adventure in transporting stuff by bike... A free eames chair off the local what's app group (!) brought home in my trailer #carfree #hackney #cycling #urbantravel 🚶‍♀️🏙️🚲

Great to see another WalkCreate article out: 'Cripping Desire Lines' discusses the impact of Covid-19 on disabled people’s experiences of walking in the UK. Our data comes from covid times, but with loads of ongoing, pressing relevance! and it's open access journals.sagepub.com/doi/10.1177/...

Very moving vigil for Irene Leardini by side of A2 in New Cross Gate tonight. She was cycling here two weeks ago. RIP. Sad we are still gathering at the side of busy roads asking why nothing has been done to make them safe. Thanks to all at @lewishamcyclists.bsky.social for organising the vigil.
