Today’s perfect vibes 🧬💎🧠 Donna Haraway will always be my favourite creative intellectual to read & think with. Spent this afternoon giggling away in a café at her playfully incisive writing while learning so much about embryology

Some light Sunday reading has turned into hours of falling down a crystallography rabbit hole 🤓Obsessed with the totally random places my Patrick Geddes research takes me. And now I get to read some vintage Haraway while enjoying my housemate’s freshly baked banana/cinnamon muffins #winning :))

Cannot stop thinking about how Octavia Butler wrote a book in 1993 about climate change. It opens with deadly fires in LA in 2025. In the story, a fascist President has just won office with the campaign slogan "Make America Great Again."

She was a modern day Nostradamus. If only we'd listened.

Today’s venture to Tynemouth market was rather magical. Snow on the beach; hot chocolate reading sessions; & spending all my Christmas money = the perfect Sunday :))
