I realise that, over the years, I’ve taken several versions of basically the same photo looking between the Forth Bridges, now. Sort of pleasing, really, but I can’t really explain why. #bridges #photography #Siblings
Please read this, folks. And reflect on the fact that my main reaction to this heartbreaking account is not just sadness but jealousy. I wish we could leave, too.

Leaving the UK with a heavy heart
Today, as a family, we have booked our flights and our one-way ticket out of the UK. This has not felt like a choice. This feels like fleeing to protect ourselves. For the past 7 years we have look…

This article opens by saying there's a 'surging demand' for 'diagnoses of neurodiversity'. I'm sorry to inform you the neurodiversity rate amongst the population is 100%. What you probably meant was 'neurodivergence'. This is not just me being pedantic... www.theguardian.com/society/2026...

I am also willing to throw down to save the Kennedy Center but you have to admit (as a historian of modern architecture) that THIS being the building that finally awakens the fervor is pretty funny. Specifically designed to appease the marble-red-and-gold lovers!
