This is either a trade of genius or madness. Only time will tell.

Labour need to initiate a discussion on identity, politics (policies) and storytelling. They need to listen to those who have an understanding of how emotions connect people to ideas, communities and place.

I have an article in this issue with @cleyshon.bsky.social and Shuks Esmene et al for anyone interested in the role of place-based research in review methodologies for well-being policy making.

I do hope you get to see it at the National. It’s beautifully displayed. I also love the β€˜legend’ of the painting, true or not, stories and storytelling make us.

The artistry is exquisite and the scale extraordinary.

Definitely The Flashing Blade for me. Can’t believe @brianmoore666.bsky.social missed that one.

Hi Ned, did you have one of the dates recorded so that those of us who couldn’t attend have a chance to see the show.

Great analysis of how rural exceptionalism is mobilised and practiced. The door is always apparently closing on the countryside but somehow never shuts and it won’t with this policy.

Today, I’m running a workshop based on a new piece of research we conducted for Perennial (perennial.org.uk) on the horticulture sector. Mental and physical health are major issues and ones that Perennial are working hard to address. @cleyshon.bsky.social @uniofexeternews.bsky.social

Otherwise known as the Dunning-Kruger Effect. Simple triggers (mediations) can exploit this cognitive bias.
