Hard to believe that Living Lab: Feeding the Campus is 2 years old. We want to share some things we've learnt. Plus, there'll be networking space for local food orgs/social enterprises. Part of the York Festival of Ideas

I wrote a fast-turnaround piece for Reuters (@ContextClimate) in response to this morning's events, with a focus on the role that the media has played in delaying action on climate.

Come & study for a PhD investigating the future of York & UK allotments with myself, Jenny Hall of York Business School & YACIO' Tony Chalcraft as supervisors! Sadly no bursary but the fee is funded by York St John University's Institute for Social Justice.

Some seriously exciting work happening in this York International Shakespeare Festival festival. And they are not joking about the 'international' part.

Come and work at our wonderful ISJ! It has been, for me, a brilliant home to develop and grow my research while working for change.

Hear ye, hear ye York St John University students! Bring your energy, questions and ideas to your union.

This looks GREAT. Have you seen the Living Lab's Student Cookbook which does a similar job identifying diverse food cultures and knowledge at YSJ?

Staggering new figures on the scale of injury to English rivers.

4 *million* hours of raw sewage discharge in 2023; a 129% increase on 2022’s abysmal number.

Systematic dividend gouging by companies; strategic de-fanging of regulator & EA = river-death.

The Living Lab is at the @yorkstjohn WREL symposium today sharing opportunities for students to get involved in the Food Stories publication, community gardening, working group.... just look at @YSJPublishing placement student Amie Watts' zine posters!!

OMG nearly had heart attack/missed my train today when I realised Network Rail have locked up pedestrian access to York station from the south (via Lowther Terrace) until 2025 - what the hell?! Then found this on YorkMix about it. Massive inconvenience yorkmix.com/that-is-a-nigh…

I have had three wonderful times so far mending people's bags, coats, trousers, jeans at the wonderful Repair Cafe near York St John University -
York St John Students' Union students do bring along anything that needs mending for free - you might even get taught some useful skills!

The wonderful Amie, the Living Lab's @YSJPublishing MA placement student, showing fellow students how to contribute to the YSJ Food Stories zine. Info re submitting your poem/essay/illustration/sketch at blog.yorksj.ac.uk/isj/2024/02/24…

Christ now I've seen it all. Regulator confesses to being incompetent.

Environment Agency & Ofwat admit they've being lied to by WCs & legal commitments, maintaining the sewage system, have not been complied with.

What are they going to do about it? NOTHING 🤬
