I've waited two years for this new book by the brilliant Rasheedah Phillips of Black Quantum Futurism so it's wonderful to finally hold it in my hands. Mind blowing stuff. #DismantlingtheMastersClock.

Photos from yesterday's beautiful 'Fifth Anniversary of Nothing' outside the Dairy Crest site in #Totnes. We tied 1,854 hand-numbered tags to the fence, each one representing a day Fastglobe has wasted in thwarting the town's aspirations for the site. This has gone on long enough.

Lovely to be back in my printmaking class this week. Here is a drypoint etching print from our recent visit to Marrakech, of the big mosque there. First print from the plate, further, improved editions next week.

Just saying, but it does seem odd that on the front page of a magazine selling glasses that the cover star isn't wearing glasses...bit of a missed opportunity there?

On our lovely Zoom last week with Transition Together, the wonderful cartoonist Thomas Liera, who I'm, working on a comic book about time travel with, created this beautiful drawing of Mr Kit and I heading off to 2030. He always draws such gorgeous beavers! #FieldRecordingsFromTheFuture

Come join us on Saturday to remind Fastglobe that their treatment of Totnes has been nothing short of disgraceful and that it's time for them to pack up and leave town. See you there at 11.

Personally speaking, if anyone I knew watched this, I would be deeply concerned as to what it was in their lives that had led them to this place.

In Barcelona just before Christmas I visited one of the Super Blocks, where people, bikes, community and conviviality have been prioritised over cars. Here's a former street, reclaimed from cars. I'm going to hazard a guess that there are quite a few other streets in the world we could do this to...
