@botanicalduncan @DanielZarick @craigmod Obsessed with those detailed product stories. Also love the gentle suggestion to read the ‘disadvantages of wool’ section at the add to cart stage.

Revisiting our sketch from 2015: 'Design For The New Normal', an atemporal way for considering multiple timelines, and perhaps more importantly, an unprecedented opportunity to consider what emerges from our current precarity.

"It is time to acknowledge the limits of anthropocentric capitalism and embrace the burden of a world that is precarious and challenging. To use our deep resourcefulness and imagination to stay with the trouble, and keep the revolt alive." @anabjain https://t.co/UBUc2177WP

Coronavirus is exposing the arbitrary, cruel realities of America's rules. (This is good. And “it’s also worth asking if we are willing to allow governments and corporations to return to business as usual” also applies to energy, mobility, housing etc) https://t.co/ehjCtzNv7l

There is a car, in the hospital parking lot.

It is a faded red, covered with dust.

Other cars have parked and left on either side of it, every day, but this car remains.

I pass by it, as I find parking, on my way in to work.

I know what it means. 1/

#happiness is cooking the last of the sausages on the remaining heat from the bbq you lit, coaxed, over-firestartered and tended to eat cold tomorrow for lunch on the Norfolk coast.
