Hi! Sorry for delay.
Initially, I chatted to researchers about their work, did my own projects but using info I got from them and crediting their help. It's taken many years of building relationships.
Good luck in your creative path!
Looking good! 🔭

There's a paternoster mentioned in (I think) 'Dr Murke's Gesammelte Schweigen' (Dr Murke's collected silences) which I read as an undergrad. So amazing years later to be able to experience one.
The best of The Marginalian this week, in a single place – the woman who mapped Labrador, Eva Perón's decalogue for the dignity of growing old, and a tender illustrated parable about the meaning of love mailchi.mp/themarginali...
I like the ocean-added pipe! (In the key of 'sea'?)

Fantastic resource. The UK is a nation of #nature lovers. We need to make sure our public transport can give good access to the countryside if #car-free living is ever to become truly popular

Post from Threads user rodneyowl: "Ireland has declared the Basic Income for Artists scheme permanent. This will be officially announced in tomorrow’s budget. Details to follow. Congratulations to all who fought for it and the present and future artists of all sorts in Ireland. That includes me 👌We’re just comin to the end of a 3 year pilot scheme. It’s been a roaring success. For every €1 paid out to the 2000 participants, the government got €1.46 back. Can’t argue with that. Other countries are already taking note."
Damn. This is amazing. £325 per week, paid monthly, for 3 years - and the result was a profit for the Irish economy:
