Dissatisfaction with what
Augé calls the non-places of super modernity and the urban realm.

You're welcome. It's worked really well for me (we have a cat not a rabbit).

Montelukast, a prescription drug to use alongside your inhaler, will probably help.

Good Morning Blue Sky! Hope you’re all ok? Today I’m currently reading and highly enjoying Slow Gods by Claire North. What are you reading at the moment?

A quick ps: I am *not* into this new bordering of the handsome Isabel Nolan sculpture. I liked it much better when it had an unmoored, floating-in-space, feeling.

A view from LJMU art school window of the modernist architectural feat, Liverpool Metropolitan Cathedral; in the foreground is Isabel Nolan's Where you are, what we are, with others, a sculpture inspired by the city's two cathedrals and stained glass windows.

Good weather this morning, which is handy as I'm off on a walk across Liverpool later - city as time travel; city as artwork; writing the city

A neoplasticist work by the de stijl artist, Piet Mondrian; primary colours (red, yellow and blue) are plotted onto a grid, representing the beginnings of his mature style.

Happily on the Mondrian train again. Here's his 1920 painting (by then, well into the neoplasticism years), No. VI/Composition No. II, reflective of the work we now most associate with his name, those strictly comprised of planes of red, yellow and blue, against a grid of black and white.

Also: dreamed Man Ray was cancelled and removed from a well-performing photography department's syllabus.

Up *so* early with the cat that I caught the tail end of radio 3's 'through the night' programme. Ugh.

A lemon and walnut cake, cortado, a yellow notebook, and pen. The cafe setting seems apt for somebody who's been thinking and writing about flaneurism lately.

Post supervisor meeting treat. Needed and deserved that - I've been thinking/writing/doing non-stop, and I crashed a bit yesterday.

A pamphlet outlining the conversion of a derelict space on Liverpool's defunct Albert Dock into a new Tate for the north. The site, currently undergoing another renovation, is set to reopen in spring 27, providing a gallery for the 21st century.

Meanwhile, later that decade, plans were afoot for a so-called 'Tate for the North' on the derelict Albert Dock.

I think so, yeah!

A San Francisco Kinetoscope parlor, c. 1894–95.

Commercial exhibition of motion pictures began #OTD in 1894.

The first Edison Kinetoscope parlor opened in New York City w/ 10 different (very) short films, viewable at individual stations.

Price: 50 cents for all 10 movies — equivalent to about $20 today. #FilmSky

The answer is I don't think I'll be doing anything more today. Apparently a job application, academic conference paper/presentation, marking, and PhD stuff is as much as I can handle in any given 10 day period.

Don't expose your brain to generative AI. It's incredibly harmful, according to new studies out this year. Overuse of smart phones and social media has a reversible effect if you go cold-turkey, but generative AI appears to have longer-term effects. Colonizing your brain to stoopid.

After working/writing quickly this morning, I'm now thoroughly in avoidance mode. I have just finished a pint. I'm considering a second. Can I write legibly on two pints is the big question.

While the city's docks lay dormant, Toxteth became a cultural and political flashpoint, with Thatcher considering responding with an armed presence in Liverpool.
