Londoners know smallest galleries hold best exhibitions. Visited @peltzgallery to see Cursed Objects In Museum Shops. Spot Merch from @MuseumofNeolib which I referenced in my #RSA essay & Henry Cole's @V_and_A cafe who was also a Fellow #LetsGuide #UniquelyLondon #ALondonersLife3

This @CursedObjectsUK interview from Mar 24 w/ @NickBano about his book Against Landlords is really interesting. It's about the housing crisis as one of affordability, not of supply. Also an interesting ref (given recent echos) to the Enoch Powell speech. spoti.fi/4koywRh

I was initially resistant to the idea that air could be a cursed object, but I was delighted to be proven wrong by the phenomenal @alicebell - how many particles, synthetic or natural, are in the air we breathe?

The English language is full of pejoratives for large groups of people: mob mentality. Herd behaviour. Crowd contagion. But the idea that large groups of people are up to no good is a convenient fantasy for the powers that be, explains @danhancox. novaramedia.com/2024/10/10/whe…

I've written a new Substack post about the Meditteranean instinct to throw delightful, all-ages, free community parties all year round (festa majors, carnavals, etc), and asking Why We Can't Have Nice Things like this in Britain?? danhancox.substack.com/p/partying-wit…
📢 NEW EPISODE: Why does everyone, across the political spectrum, push the idea that hard work has any moral value? From IG hustle culture and CEO Mindset, to modern slavery, bullshit jobs and affective labour at Pret, it's time to knuckle down! open.spotify.com/episode/7fJx83…
