Melvyn Bragg has been one of the last standard-bearers for a really important, and unfashionable, idea: that good conversation, between people who really know their stuff, on complex or difficult subjects, can be fantastic radio - and that the national broadcaster should do this.

I hope it endures.

A very large banner advertising ‘The Amazing World of M.C.Escher’ at the Dulwich Picture Gallery. It tells you ‘next left at lights’.

Then left again, next left, then take another left, and one more, then left again, then hang left, and again…

Open source, experimental, and tiny tools roundup Skip to tag selection This is a list of small, free, or experimental tools that might be useful in building your game / website / interactive project. Although I’ve included ‘standards’, this list has a focus on artful tools and toys that are as fun to use as they are functional. The goal of this list is to enable making entirely outside of closed production ecosystems or walled software gardens.

spent some time today integrating new suggestions into the Tiny Tools Directory- it's now got over 1000 artful toys, tools, and pieces of joyful software to it. kind of amazing, this world of generous making

Excruciating barber experience please

I sold out of this print a while back, wish I'd made more. I think barbers must have been buying it lol

Me and 10-15 other game developers are on the hunt for a nice office space in London as ours is sadly closing. We'd love to share space with other game devs / creatives so if you have some empty space at your studio, or have any tips please let me know!

Signal boosts appreciated! 🙏

Where do I place an order?!

This is EXCELLENT 👏

‘I’m a mixed Black female historical re-enactor in a sea of men with beards’ Not everyone would want to spend their weekends dressed in a tunic fighting medieval battles, but my love of re-enacting is rooted in keeping history alive

"Historical re-enacting is healing in other ways. I can shake the shackles of gender, race and class and slip into skins different to my own.”

Really nice piece by a medieval re-enactor, free of the usual stereotypes and defensiveness.
