Today in nice British news (an occasional series), the guy in my Iyengar yoga class who brings us eggs for £1.50/box has just placed Best in Show in the egg category at the Royal Cheshire Show, beating 1,053 other entrants. 🥚🥇
The yoga WhatsApp group has gone wild. They are excellent eggs. 🍳
I’m sure there was a cat around here just a moment ago. 💙🐈⬛

Pleased to be one of the key note speakers alongside Kelley Wilder and Jennifer Tucker next week. At the core of my talk lies a political question: Who has access to tacit knowledge? Whose tacit knowledge counts, and who decides?
Great things about Britain (I find it helpful to remember them after racists ran the news again this week): sunshine, a farmers’ market, and Hexham Abbey, with a 12-strong ukelele band offering a pretty convincing rendition of “Friday I’m in Love”.
