Award winning biographer of the Pinwill sisters, Arts & Crafts woodcarvers of Devon and Cornwall. Churches, and all things Devon & Cornwall, especially Dartmoor. You'll see stuff about churches, not for any religious reason but because I see churches as repositories of art paid for by the community and therefore belonging to the community.

"There is no ethical consumption under capitalism" doesn't mean "eh, don't worry about it", it means that you should consider alternatives that reduce or eliminate "consumption under capitalism".
Growing your own food. Repairing your stuff and the stuff of people around you. Foraging. Helping your neighbours. Establishing or borrowing from a library, be it for books, tools, toys, or anything else. Even creating free and open source software.
There are *lots* of ways you can satisfy your needs and goals without consumption under capitalism, you just won't learn about them from capitalist news and advertising channels.
Taking a walk to go see my Tawny Frogmouth friends is my favourite part of my routine these days. Quite wisely given their nests aren’t huge and it’s a bit windy the babies were mostly tucked safely under mum’s wing but one did briefly pop out. Dad somehow manages to sleep despite his small branch swaying
‘Damp and mould are the clearest signs of a system that isn’t working. For years, it’s been treated as an inconvenience. The instructions I’ve had from management have been: clean it, paint it, move on. No survey, no root cause, no urgency.’

Universities UK data gives a clear idea how universities have been dealing with the sector's ingoing financial crisis:
It's notable that the largest rise has been in course closures, but while there has been a doubling of institutions making compulsory redundancies, what these figures miss is the range of universities currently operating voluntary severance programmes to shed staff (academic & professional).
This ongoing attrition towards staff is destroying Higher Education.
