One of the interesting things about existing Commonholds is how atypical they are as communities and ways of living. Whilst there need to be communal decision making options for all Commonholders the level of involvement will likely be less full on for most www.theguardian.com/society/2025...

New flats in England and Wales may soon all be commonhold. But what does it mean?

I've been working on a talk for service design and agile and I'm constantly confused by how some basic stuff is received with wide-eyed wonder in the design community. Service designers are process people and agile is a famous process it feels like we should get along much better than we do

I'm interested in the idea of trying to design or hijack media ecosystems for progressive / left ends. Labour graphic designers (not sure they're here) were a group connecting candidates with designers for simple campaign material ends 🧵
