Why do we need the arts? An almost-blind 88-year old recites a Shakespeare sonnet conjured from her memory, and a rowdy crowd is quieted and listens in enraptured silence. Magnificent.

I’ve started the only sabbatical I’ve had in 15 years in academia. Lesson one: it’s made me realise the extent to which I’ve internalised the idea of “productivity” and guilt. Perhaps this is my detox so I can learn / experiment?

Cold weather REQUIRES a notebook and a fire.

The Government hasn’t even begun to realise the inequalities that lead to such hopelessness and illness in the North East. A health emergency. #publichealth #levellingup bbc.co.uk/news/articles/…

It's so normalised to have to be a certain way, to play the game, to use the right buzzwords to fit in & be a 'success'. It's exhausting, & a form of widespread masking. I'm inspired by people who are themselves- who show their real humanity. Think it takes courage & integrity.

Hey The Telegraph I don’t suppose #Blyth in SE Northumberland will cut it. But we don’t need 800k houses to have community, social support, beautiful coastline & leading renewables research. Let’s redefine desirable whilst also fighting inequality in these same places. loveBLYTH 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿 🇺🇦

Bought Procreate #dreams so I can play with new ways of animating visual elements in my videos and research outputs. Always be learning if you’re an educator. 😍 SWECW Northumbria procreate.com/dreams

I will be taking over as Editor in Chief of Developmental Child Welfare in the new year. Really excited. Do think about submitting to this journal. We'r3 looking forward to publishing important work that will influence policy and improve children's lives.
