Real pleasure to chat with skiing legend Mike Douglas (@MikeDski) for @BBC_Travel, about his Whistler highlights. Miss Whistler madly, especially since Mike made me jealous as the season kicks off! Thanks Eva Sandoval (@ieatmypigeon) for commissioning. bbc.com/travel/article…

Delighted to share my first piece for @NoemaMag. It’s about the power of trespass, the need for a culture of ‘wild service’, and the quiet stirring of the commons. noemamag.com/trespassing-fo…

A nod to some of the progressive voices that have shaped the piece and my thinking on the potential of psychedelics: Daan Keiman of Communitas Collective, Monnica Williams (@DrMonnica), Michael Oliver (@manifest_it_man) of Flying Sage, and the @psymposia and @breakingcon output.

It was an honour to help tell this story, for @thismagazine, of ex-Mormons using psychedelic therapy to process religious trauma. It speaks to the potential of a collective, community-rooted 'psychedelic renaissance'. It's also my first cover story! this.org/2024/10/29/los…

I’m only getting started learning about and contributing to this work. Very keen to connect with any and all UK commoning/land justice projects, people, and stories!

Particular shout out to Right2Roam and @EveryonesStars for leading the campaigning on this. But countless others, too. For anybody interested, I’ll share a New Year note of the many people and orgs I engaged with doing great work on these issues.

AI advances are enabling new ways of listening to and communicating with other animals. This raises many profound questions and possibilities. Writing this @Longreads piece, spotlighting interesting work on the topic, was such a pleasure. It features ... longreads.com/2024/07/11/wil…
