- Congratulations to @hannaruszczyk.bsky.social - her book ' #Gender and #Resilience in the City' is a Top Trending book for 2024! The book considers who has power, who is kept invisible to whom, and who can create the city in their imagery. New forms of ‘we’ness are being created.
- Recently took a peek at Twitter and the disinformation is getting substantially more dangerous. Someone could get killed. The tactics of constantly repeating outright lies, targeting specific people, repurposing years-old footage and presenting them as new is getting to another level. It’s scary.
- New DCMS commissioned research puts monetary values on the impact of arts and heritage on physical / mental health and productivity. Timely piece of work to talk to HMT during the spending review www.theguardian.com/society/2024... (Full report here: assets.publishing.service.gov.uk/media/675b16...)

- Ever wondered why walking around museums is weirdly tiring? At normal speed our legs act like pendulums, swinging forward from the hip & saving us a huge amount of energy. In "museum shuffle" our muscles must do ALL the work of constant readjustment. So cake in the cafe is scientifically justified 🥳
- TIL that you do occasionally get TWELVE-sided snowflakes, when two six-sided ones collide in the right way and stick together. They seem to stick at a suspiciously perfect angle! Photos from Ken Libbrecht's brilliant website here: www.snowcrystals.com...

- Maybe because middle class women of a certain age are in a position to call out this shit without fear of losing a salary they need. And can do it on behalf of young women starting out in their careers who are just as sick of this shit but can’t say anything because they need to earn a living.
- Proud to have contributed to evidence to the publication of the House of Lords Report, ‘High Streets: Life Beyond Retail’: publications.parliament.uk/pa/ld5901/ld... My evidence highlighted the contentious dynamics around high street re-development made by multiple political actors!
