If you get the chance, take the route down to Chorlton. About as good as it gets in the UK, especially at the junctions.

I will cut adrift—I will sit on pavements and drink coffee—I will dream; I will take my mind out of its iron cage and let it swim—this fine October.

Oliver Jeffers re: his “America First” art:

“To stand any chance of survival, we need to start acting with a sense of unified purpose.”

Full quote in ALT text of images.
Oliver Jeffers, 03 April 2025: “Another piece I made 8 years ago that has eerie echoes to today. On top of an old globe I acquired long ago, decayed to such a degree that it looked like the earth was scorched, I found where the USA lay, and painted a beautiful rose garden behind a picket fence. I called it ‘America First’, and along with the handwritten type that says ‘Made America Great Again’ I was referring to two oft repeated Conservative slogans in order to point out both the absurdity and irresponsibility of an isolationist approach to a climate growing rapidly more hostile to human life. Yesterday’s news of the USAs new policy on global tariffs gives me similar feelings of an even stronger ‘what’s in it for me’ isolationist attitude to what has been an interconnected world. But with the added fear that climate, a still looming catastrophic problem, has been relegated to the sidelines. Tariffs, trade and economics are man-made concepts we could alter overnight, if we all agreed. The climate is not. To stand any chance of survival, we need to start acting with a sense of unified purpose. The weather doesn’t care about borders or tariffs.

My colleagues & I have taken a huge gamble to set up @thenerve.news We’re trying to build a new independent publication from the ground up. Social media is our only distribution for now.

Sharing this article in your networks would make a huge difference. Thank you! 🙏🙏🙏

Why, even now, is no-one asking questions?

This is such a clever idea on taking kids to museums/galleries
www.theguardian.com/lifeandstyle...
Nadia from London has an idea that sounds such fun you'll be booking a day out asap. "I've always loved museums," she says, "but they can be overwhelming for children. For decades now, I've done something called 'playing postcards' We do the museum backwards, visiting the gift shop first. Each child gets to choose three postcards. Then they take it in turns to find that particular artwork in the museum and give us a little information about the piece from the details on the postcard, or from any gallery plaque. At the end of this treasure-hunt-style activity, we vote for our favourite in the cafe."
