In the middle of a particularly difficult week, 2 hours of absolute delight: the Network of Women Doing Fieldwork asked me to speak as part of an online seminar. Such a collegiate, collaborative network, trying to envision a different future for academia. 🙏 womendoingfieldwork.org

I am a witch. I'll never apologise for my slow navigations across the land. For each hedge offers wonders. Each path has it spirits, its talkative trees. I shall get to where I need to be at the pace of my curiosity and the nature's desire to hold me in its splendour. – #EmilyCanting #WitchSky

One of my many complaints about AI is that when I write my books I am *thinking*. It's how I process my ideas. To hand that over would be to hand over my thinking. Another example of this is lesson planning - it encourages us to *think through* a classroom situation ahead of time. #EduSky

We can't have an understanding of the collective until we have healed (or heal along with) our separation from the rest of the living world, from which our collectivity emerges and on on which our collective health and life depends.

‘Beech Tree Fairy’. “Some see nature all ridicule and deformity, and by these I shall not regulate my proportions; and some scarce see nature at all. But to the eyes of the man of imagination, nature is imagination itself. As a man is, so he sees”. William Blake #Imagination #Art #CreativeNature

Playing in mud can be a beneficial activity for children. Brain development: The sensory stimulation and increased input from mud play helps form pathways in the brain. Motor skills: Children use their smaller muscles by squishing, squeezing, scooping, mixing, and pouring mud. #EarlyYearsSky

The late composer Ryuichi Sakamoto once said "The world is filled with profound beauty and tragedy, and it is through art that we can reconcile these contradictions." I think about that a lot these days.

This sign reminds us that Aboriginal people have lived in this place for 47,000 years. [see alt text for full wording of sign]

Sign in foreground with river behind. Wording on sign says: "Connection to Country:
Noongar Occupation
Datings from excavations at open artefact sites and rock shelters in the South West at Bunbury, Margaret River, Quindalup, Dunsborough and Albany, indicate the area has been occupied by Aboriginal people from 47,000 years
ago to recent times.
Numerous artefact scatters in the coastal area of Bunbury confirm the area was used for long and short term camping, social gatherings and ceremonial purposes. Eaton was a favoured location because of the rich food resources offered by the estuary, river and inland and also as it was protected by the Quindalup Dunes west of
Leschenault Estuary.
Silcrete, dolerite, quartz and granite were obtained via trade from the Darling Scarp and used to manufacture stone tools and implements such as flakes, scrapers, backed blades and grinding stones. Fossiliferous chert collected from offshore sources or traded from the south coast was also used to produce artefacts. These stone tools were used to form wooden implements, weapons and to process food."

New short article just published with @salawatson.bsky.social on “making space for children's play and mobility” in @ippr.bsky.social’s Progressive Review. onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1111/...

Returning the street to a place that supports a diversity of functions is vital if we are to move away from car dependency and its numerous negative social and environmental impacts. Children and their play could and should be a central part of this reimagining.

One more reason why we need to create space for children to be outside, easily, routinely and safely - this article says children need 14 hrs a week outside; that can be much more easily achieved by everyday play and mobility than “sport and leisure” www.theguardian.com/society/2024...
