It always amazes me how much more we prioritise people driving cars over people wheeling or walking at pedestrians crossings. Often this prioritises vehicles out of sight of the crossing. Even more frustrating when it's raining. This does not enable or encourage active travel.

@goSHIFTscheme So in London it’s this: tfl.gov.uk/help-and-conta…

@goSHIFTscheme There’s a website you can make a complaint to about crossings and length of time - it worked for me last year although it’s since gone back to being awful again at certain times of day. I’ll try ti find the link; it took ages to find it before!

The people of Welwyn Hatfield, constituency of so-called Net Zero minister @grantshapps, are waking up to these posters, which I pasted up in the small hours of the morning. If you agree with the message, please spread as widely as possible! #climatefight #onshorewind

Millions, yes millions of people have walked past this tree in central London without realising it was being strangled to death. I cycled back to get my Stanley knife and released it ....... the chances are it will make a full recovery. Keep your eye out for others needing rescue

Ben Nicholson 1942 (Bus ticket) Nicholson and Kurt Schwitters didn't get on: KS thought him a very minor artist, while BN called Schwitters 'an ass and a bore'. Nevertheless Nicholson gave Schwitters this great oil & collage wood relief, even dedicating it to him on the reverse.

A detail from my new book “1000 × a-z”. More info below.

"...the capacity of a sequence of printed and folded pages to be parallel to a room or installation ...a key to understanding and bringing it to scale, a kind of architecture of the book." @BeineckeLibrary Simon Cutts, 'The Small Press Model' bit.ly/40mEXKw

2 neons. Lake District, 1999, Simon Cutts Artbarns , littoral arts Ian Hunter RIP and Celia Larner, a sort of veiled homage to KS in those parts.

Between poetry and typography, the series “Sliced Poems” ruthlessly deconstructs the alphabet.
