🚌 Consett bus station, late 1980s, from Julian Germain’s Steel Works, made a decade after the town's steel works closed. The new bus station roof was made with Italian steel, an irony often noted when people talk about this period.

This week students learned to capture digital images with a microscope - in this case the sample was a cheek cell stained with methylene blue.

Does anyone have suggestions of photographic/art book retailers that would maybe be interested in stocking my darkroom book?

So a book update. I was initially intending to distribute online via Amazon etc; but the amount of money that is added on for the consumer by the distribution system is ridiculous. To keep its price somewhere sensible, the book will be available from me directly & potentially some other suppliers.

A couple of real oldies, taken on Bold Street, Liverpool. I'd need to search to find the camera and film, maybe HP5 and a Fuji GS645S.

No matter how bad you think colonialism was, it was worse. (And it's not actually over.)

"UK museums hold more than 263,000 items of human remains from around the world, including whole skeletons, preserved bodies, such as Egyptian mummies, skulls, bones, skin, teeth, nails, scalps and hair."

Restoring order at the border speaks to Labour values. Without that, we won’t be able to do anything else at all | Shabana Mahmood Our approach, unlike that of the Greens and Reform, is in step with the British people. They don’t want extremes – they want a system that is managed and fair, says home secretary Shabana Mahmood

For example, on immigration. Language that conveys to voters that migrants are a threat - are bad - creates a fear response that drives them into the arms of the right - no matter the policies being proposed. Yesterday's op-ed by the Home Secretary does this.

Does accommodation work? Mainstream party strategies and the success of radical right parties | Political Science Research and Methods | Cambridge Core Does accommodation work? Mainstream party strategies and the success of radical right parties - Volume 11 Issue 1

Several studies have looked at data from elections to see if "move to the right" keeps the far right from winning. Conclusion: it validates right-wing propaganda in voters' minds, repels your own voters.

Here is one.

Cannot tell you how depressing it is to read that people are simply refusing to read nonfiction after you’ve worked really hard to write a nonfiction book you believe in, in case anyone is wondering why I’m posting so much about my book which comes out in a few weeks #BookSky

My sexual freedom odyssey: what ancient African wisdom can teach us about pleasure today By speaking to women across the continent, I discovered how reclaiming pre-colonial rites and rituals can help us find joy in our bodies

Nana & I share the same agent (the wonderful Robert Caskie) & spent a lovely few days together in France a couple of years ago. She's an absolutely inspirational writer & activist, & awesome human. Her new book is published in the US today. Check out this article about it in today's @theguardian.com
