The #ShooglyHolm sealife hotel is open! Thanks to all who helped build the mooring's ceramic village, and those who toasted its launch today with @jpopstudios.bsky.social, a wee dram and some homely Orkney poetry.

My messy CoCreate infograph grows! A nonlinear meshwork mirrors real complexity. Workflows, feedback loops, entanglements. Unlike static networks, meshworks live & adapt like roots/mycelium. Our triple lens (People/Place/Wildlife) rejects false binaries. #systemsthinking #meshworks

Lifecycle resources.
Sun - plants - oxygen - damselflies - eggs - sun - plants - oxygen - damselflies …and so on.

Flipping hell!

The stratosphere and ocean temperatures have flipped.

Does anyone seriously believe this can be fixed this by business-as-usual?

A prototype an @artecology-iw.bsky.social Refugia Tile (formally known as a Refugia Panel). It doesn’t matter much what it’s called, let’s just say it’s a whatchamacallit intended to support lifecycle resources for the more-than-human world!

Today Nige had the pleasure of speaking to students from University of Portsmouth School of Architecture at Network Ryde‘s incredible facility in Ryde, Isle of Wight.

The session was all about exploring the groundbreaking work of Artecology.

My favorite @artecology-iw.bsky.social installation is the one commissioned by the Gov of Gib. This is special thanks to the amazing diversity of life that has colonised them. In 12 years of working with Vertipools, I’ve never seen anything like this!

Simplicity to endless complexity. The goal? To build social capital with which to grow natural capital at scale. Through shared effort & collective vision, we weave resilience into the fabric of communities, fostering ecosystems that thrive in harmony with humanity.

Great to see momentum continuing to grow for introducing the #NaturalHistory GCSE - it just needs green light from government! A brilliant way to help restore nature, improve young people’s physical & mental health & fill the green skills gap.
Launch natural history GCSE in England now, campaigners urge Labour
Environmentalists say new course could be delayed until 2030 because it is viewed as Conservative party initiative

Good to be co-signatory to letter about urgency of introducing the #NaturalHistory GCSE pioneered by fab Mary Colwell. As she says, we must get to know our fellow travellers on this planet again & feel wonder & awe - if we only pass on to young people that Earth is a problem to be fixed, we’ll fail

In 2015, a crack team of artists built a museum dedicated to poo. These creatives of fortune promptly made a wonderfully crap exhibition. Globally popular, the museum couldn’t cope with footfall.
So if you have a venue, if you want loads of visitors...maybe you can hire…The National Poo Museum.
Our museum at Sandown Barracks Battery will be closed for 2025 while we get out sh*t together and hit the road.
We’ll be sending our museum exhibition pieces near and far so watch out for updates in case we drop one at a venue near you! 💩
