Here's my Ukraine Peace Plan.
1. Russia gets the fuck out of Ukraine, including Crimea.
2. Russia stays the fuck out of Ukraine, including Crimea.
3. Ukraine decides its own future.
4. Putin ends up in The Hague for war crimes
5. Trump ends up in The Hague for war crimes

I've not had much time to spend with these two for a few weeks so I'm making the most of today before I head off to my 2nd conference in 2 weeks!

They have marked the occasion with some excellent posing for the camera...

A screenshot of two US politicians profile photos from Wikipedia. The photos are placed side by side. The first photo is of Zohran Mamdani who has a wide and natural smile, who appears relaxed as he looks towards the camera with friendly eyes. The other, is of an old sinister looking man that is likely taken from a mobster / horror film promo poster circa 1984

They say the eyes are the window to the soul.

I'll just leave this one here...

Thank you Nikki, and thank you also for your support today it means so much. Feeling incredibly validated 💚

Inside joke: Hopefully I've passed the step to "Senior Nurse" of fashion education now 😅

I will be co-presenting Rosie Hornbuckle's and Dr Seher Mirza's paper, based on the @ffnplus.bsky.social @unioftheartslondon.bsky.social #CollaborAcademy project (alongside Seher), reflecting on the researcher experience of working on the project.

Abstract here: iated.org/concrete3/vi...

My paper will argue that collaborative & critical pedagogies, when applied through creative arts & design methods, can empower learners to challenge oppressive structures by nurturing agency and action, toward a more equitable and sustainable future.

Abstract here: iated.org/concrete3/vi...

The programme for the #ICERI2025 conference is now live: iated.org/concrete3/se...

I will be presenting my paper exploring collaborative, critical & creative pedagogies during the “Sustainability in Vocational and Higher Education” session at 4pm (INFO)

The Daily Beast writes: "Kim Kardashian's brand SKIMS has sold out its synthetic pubic hair thongs and is now accumulating a waitlist for the product." Their tweet is accompanied by a link to a post with the story.

the year is 2030. a doctor solemnly informs you that you have plastic in your testicles bc millions of people persuaded by celebrity marketing bought synthetic pubic hairs that were eventually consumed by fish that you ate

I may have spent much of today working, but it involved fashion, maps and SDG's, so it's all good!

Did I create individual maps to break down each supply chain stage?

Yes, of course I did! 😆
