Thanks Dino!

Thank you!

Really enjoyed this Patrick. I particularly liked how you wove in your own personal experiences to make sense of how Brixton’s urban landscape has changed since Dyer’s novel. Here’s to more state-funded time!

Thank you!

February / March 2025

New from me and @dzenetakarabeg.bsky.social: an article called 'Diasporic Littering: Civility, Citizenship, and the Politics of Leaving Bosnia and Herzegovina', examining how waste has become a site of political contestation over growing diaspora power in Bosnia. I enjoyed writing this with Dženeta!

A ventilation shaft north of Liverpool's Royal Albert Dock reminding me of a quote from Ballard:
'Is it a model for some strange psychological state... What effect does using these buildings have on us? Are the real myths of this century being written in terms of these huge unnoticed structures?'

Lifting the Lid - just some reflections on how (also why) so many complaints come out so quickly. With reference to #GreggWallace. Hope it is useful. More to come (on complaints not the with reference).
