Just saw the campaigning film #systemupdate at the Futures festival in Exeter. It's left me sad, angry ... and motivated. Only radical shifts in political, economic and social systems can properly address the climate emergency (and give us all a better life) www.climate.film

To my dear US friends, here's one of the reasons you're not part of my holiday plans this year.

The Gaza discourse has been Vylanised – but that diversionary strategy just doesn’t work any more | Archie Bland Those appalled by Israel’s actions in Gaza, and the kind of media frenzy prompted by Bob Vylan’s Glastonbury appearance, are finding their voice, says Archie Bland, editor of the Guardian’s First Edit...

"It isn’t just that people are angry that the catastrophe in Gaza isn’t being given due attention: it is that their encounters with observable reality are being flatly denied." www.theguardian.com/commentisfre...

Very happy to be part of this exhibition 31st May - 28th June at Studio KIND

Ex-Reform UK Wales leader accused of taking Russian bribes The ex-MEP and former UKIP Wales leader made favourable statements about Russia for money, a court hears.

Feel like Labour should be standing in the middle of the road ringing an old timey bell and generally making sure absolutely everyone hears about this.

The She Made Him Do It Theory of Everything The rhetoric and logic of the abuse of power operates similarly at all scales, which is why I've found feminism such useful equipment for understanding authoritarians in public and political life. Bec...

These stories amount to "the left was so annoying about pronouns or liberals made people feel so guilty about plastic straws they had no choice but to get on board with the second coming of the Third Reich and the destruction of the planet."

Working-class creatives don’t stand a chance in UK today, leading artists warn Exclusive: Analysis by the Guardian shows a third of major arts leaders were educated privately

Along with improving access, education, funding etc we need to talk about cultural capital - invisible to those who have it; unattainable for those who don't. www.theguardian.com/culture/2025...

An abstract hollow white form floats above its own reflection

Cloud-like structures and circular LED lights swim in a sea of reflections

Fragile, luminous forms made of wax and paper seem poised on the brink of collapse. Amazing work by sculptor #JaneJobling shown in the protective shell of #VitrineExeter.

Trump chairing a major arts institution would be laughable if it weren’t so deeply troubling | Charlotte Higgins Jokes about the president’s power grab at the Kennedy Center in Washington soon pale. This is a nakedly authoritarian move, says the Guardian’s chief culture writer Charlotte Higgins

Had a fab time at #TwoShortNights (Exeter Phoenix), soaking up everything from serious docs to hilarious improvised micro-dramas in the #48hourfilmchallenge I especially liked Ieuan Coombs' Old School, Alice Clough's Stable Speak, Sapphire Medeema's A Year and a Minute, and ratbird's Dead Wife Hug.

Sorry to have missed wassailing! I'm sure it's not too late to get involved.

Here is the key section of that train wreck of an interview by Robert Jenrick on #r4today.

Robinson: Did you raise it when you were Home Office minister?

Jenrick: We talked about it... I wasn't... My portfolio... But we talked about it.

Only a minute, if you can bear it. ~AA

Who is 'the money behind the money?' As the Guardian announces the 'sale' of the 233-year-old Observer to Tortoise Media, I wave hello to my new bosses (hi!) with an investigation of their finances.

Whoah!
This piece on the Observer newspaper's capture by global oil interests is explosive!
Written by investigative journo & Observer insider Carole Cadwalladr, it paints an incredibly gloomy picture of the future of independent newspapers.
Gulp!

I love this project. Mary taught me many years ago and she did indeed dispense wit and wisdom (though I'm not sure I was ever offered a biscuit!)

Hi Bernadina - nice to meet you!

Looking up through the centre of a mast, with sharp perspective to its top. The pale grey sky is is criss-crossed by dark metal struts.

I'm currently making a film based on the legacy of the World War II engineer and paranormal researcher Alec Harley Reeves. It's called 'The Signal and the Noise' and it's funded by a DYCP grant from Arts Council England.

Thanks Naomi 🙂
