If it wasn’t clear before, it is now. You have been hijacked by narcissist ex TV hosts, crooks, bandits, racists, wannabe religious cult leaders, swindlers, grifters, sex offenders, and warmongering genocidal maniacs and their toxic allies.
Dear Muricans, time to make America yours again.

Thanks to the EA for inviting me to deliver CPD at their office via an @artecology-iw.bsky.social CoCreate workshop. An afternoon of hands on making, discussion, and Q&A exploring ecoengineering. Handcrafted Nature Inclusive Designs made for wildlife. Real work feeding directly into interventions.

My messy CoCreate infograph grows! A nonlinear meshwork mirrors real complexity. Workflows, feedback loops, entanglements. Unlike static networks, meshworks live & adapt like roots/mycelium. Our triple lens (People/Place/Wildlife) rejects false binaries. #systemsthinking #meshworks

Lifecycle resources.
Sun - plants - oxygen - damselflies - eggs - sun - plants - oxygen - damselflies …and so on.
Flipping hell!
The stratosphere and ocean temperatures have flipped.
Does anyone seriously believe this can be fixed this by business-as-usual?

A prototype an @artecology-iw.bsky.social Refugia Tile (formally known as a Refugia Panel). It doesn’t matter much what it’s called, let’s just say it’s a whatchamacallit intended to support lifecycle resources for the more-than-human world!
Tune in and chill!

Today Nige had the pleasure of speaking to students from University of Portsmouth School of Architecture at Network Ryde‘s incredible facility in Ryde, Isle of Wight.
The session was all about exploring the groundbreaking work of Artecology.

My favorite @artecology-iw.bsky.social installation is the one commissioned by the Gov of Gib. This is special thanks to the amazing diversity of life that has colonised them. In 12 years of working with Vertipools, I’ve never seen anything like this!

Nevermind I googled it, there were 165 billionaires in the UK as of 2024. Oddly that number is down from 177 in 2022. I wonder where they went.
Out of interest, how many average billionaires are there in the UK?

Simplicity to endless complexity. The goal? To build social capital with which to grow natural capital at scale. Through shared effort & collective vision, we weave resilience into the fabric of communities, fostering ecosystems that thrive in harmony with humanity.

Our fantastic arts centre needs urgent repairs . Any support will keep the building fit for purpose for years to come www.crowdfunder.co.uk/p/quayarts-s...
What’s happening at the Artecology studio? More making of lifecycle resources for wildlife, that’s what! First order of Vertipools of 2025 is under way, soon they’ll be winging there way to the @teesriverstrust.bsky.social
Great to see momentum continuing to grow for introducing the #NaturalHistory GCSE - it just needs green light from government! A brilliant way to help restore nature, improve young people’s physical & mental health & fill the green skills gap.
Good to be co-signatory to letter about urgency of introducing the #NaturalHistory GCSE pioneered by fab Mary Colwell. As she says, we must get to know our fellow travellers on this planet again & feel wonder & awe - if we only pass on to young people that Earth is a problem to be fixed, we’ll fail
I’m not sure who’s the biggest threat between the two of them, but it’s a pretty safe bet that they’ll turn on each other at some point. In that sense they might be each other’s biggest threat!
