We’ve published a short collection of writing from the farms we work with. It’s called SHEAF, it’s beautiful and we’d love you to love it as much as we do.

This lovely thing has finally arrived, courtesy of @dark mountain and @hodmedods, after months of plotting and a bit of stomping around fields. 3 writers (inc me) sent to 3 farms to write about regenerative agriculture – a lovely marriage of two things very close to my heart.

Words by @josiahfood @52Flowers @joannaofottawa @underscrutiny and me :) Plus completely gorgeous photos and illustrations by @kitboyd and Anne Campbell. Just such a lovely project to be involved with :)

Astonishing cruelty + a new threat to human health.

Utter genius. Watch and weep with laughter. Then just weep.

The excellent @darkmtn have published a piece of mine on the parallels between navigating the challenging territory of long-term ill health & that of living in these strange end times. Much inspired by the beautiful writing of @alastairmci

I don't think these are strange, weird, or unprecedented times. This has happened before. This is just the modern version. And it doesn't matter how difficult you think this all is, it will happen again if you keep messing with animals. Leave them alone.

This is an extraordinary result, suggesting people are ready for a massive change in the way we measure and achieve well-being. It's the best news I've seen for a long time. https://t.co/0epXMUcvgd
