Bookshops are beautiful places and there are too many independent bookshops I have not visited and bought a book from! I’m going to try to change that this year with the guidance of Louise Boland’s brilliant book 👏😀. If anyone knows of any hidden gems - please do let me know 👍

Started reading this on the train home.

It’s so beautifully written. I’m currently trying to think if I have ever read something so captivating

Emotive aesthetic using Jean-Jacques Rousseau’s insights to create a property owner’s warning sign. The artist, Dan Halter, named it ‘The Social Contract.’ The words do not reveal the contractual terms but are from ‘Discourse on the Origin and the Foundations of Inequality Among Men.’ On purpose? 🤔

Walking past the smelliest fish market with seagulls floating and calling above…somehow a clarifying thought came to me about how to refute scientists advocating ‘humane’ execution methods.

Also, not sure I would ever order ‘Fishy Stuff’ from a menu 😳
