As an artist, I hope to show the value of inclusivity within photography, and demonstrate how practicing photography has benefited my own mental health. My goal is to highlight the inspiring magic and beauty in nature, making it impossible to miss. katieriesner.com

Can we do urban design in Britain to create spaces for play and socialising when it rains? It seems like so many activities are cancelled by the rain, which then impacts people’s moods. “It’s a miserable day” Nope, it’s just raining. Imagine if our world was set up for rain

I met with a group of teenagers yesterday. One of their teachers had suggested that I talk to them about career paths because they're all anxious about exams, university choices and future work. Instead of talking to them, I listened, and the actual problem was very different.

What's one thing you didn't realise was expensive until you became an adult? 🫣

We have *extraordinary* productive capacities. We can do virtually anything. Renewable energy? Integrated public transit? Regenerative farming? High-quality affordable housing for all? DONE. But we are prevented from doing these things because they are not profitable to capital.

So there's this artist named Xavi Bou that makes these time lapse photos of bird flight He takes photos of them continuously as they fly so a single bird looks like a trail as it moves across the sky. They're incredible photos, but there's another reason I find them cool 🧵

More people than ever visited the Positive News website this year, but what stories fired up your collective imaginations? From rewilding to mental health, these are some of the stories our readers loved the most in 2023 🧵

@charleyxcoleman Also was going solo good? I’m currently considering doing it for Mother Mother next year because I don’t really know anyone who knows them 👀

No one asked but I made a creative, art & animation resource list on carrd that I wanted to share with everyone 🧡 #art #animation #illustration tonk-resources.carrd.co

@MartinSLewis Unfortunately electric cars aren’t really the solution whilst our methods of generating electricity aren’t renewable, you can only be as circular as your supplier Also once again banning immediately would cause huge economic disparity between the richest and poorest households

Today's Twitter Poll: When do you think in practice the ban on selling new petrol and diesel cars should start? Which of these is closest to your attitude.

1/ Are you after a new role in the arts, creativity, culture or heritage? Ever wondered about THE BEST websites to find such opportunities? Below is a list of *40* that I know of; please share any that you think I've missed! 🎨🎭📚🎞️🪨🎶 #ArtsJobs #MuseumJobs #HeritageJobs

Do you ever think about (or mourn for) your artistic development that could've happened if not for everything you create having to have a monetary potential in order to survive in this world

@MuseumWannabe I can’t DM you but I’m interested! Thank you

Long time no see! Many reasons I've not been tweeting... Including all the changes to the platform in the last year. Figured I'd pop back to say: if you're looking for a different platform to talk museums, the Discord server is still active! PM if you'd like to join 💗🏛️💗

I don’t know, even if one person reading this happens to hire someone at a later date, please don’t let things like this affect your judgement on people in the ‘Gen Z’ category

Like I know 100% there’s a reason they’re publishing these and it’s to make us work unpaid even harder & even longer and I’m supposed to just shut up and accept it but

ngl, it is incredibly soul destroying to have worked so hard all my life & to consistently see articles about how my generation do nothing & ‘don’t want to work’ very scared for upcoming job searches & facing discrimination because I *checks notes* happened to be born in the 90s

@liviarebatista @AdvanceHE @UofEBusiness Congratulations Livia!!

Delighted to announce that I have been awarded Associate Fellowship of the Higher Education Academy #AFHEA A bit of reward in a hard year. @AdvanceHE @UofEBusiness

@vegware hello, is your compostable cutlery gluten free, please?

@Tonkable I am very burnt out and making work with Instagram as the ‘end goal’ meant I made work that felt very shallow and kinda pointless to the point it’s crept into my identity and is now how I see all of my work I miss having a group of ‘critical friends’ and creatives around me 🥲

@katieriesner Consistency is such a joke to me now. I’d rather drop something and then disappear for 6 months lmao! Also even if you do put the work in there’s no guarantee. But no it’s kind of ass isn’t it? Being present on sm is just so expected now and I’m tired

Still debating on whether I want to join blsky or some other Twitter replacement (not threads, anything but threads) I just kinda think I’ll feel better without a Twitter? 🤷
