Two things: first, steadily building up time-on-feet with a deliberately *achingly* slow 15.1 mi in 3:23:17 (13:35/mile) | Parkland Walk, Finsbury Park loops, Clissold Park loops and home | 56 F, grey and windy, first blossom on the cherry trees! | Adizero EVOs | New fueling protocol (60g carb/hr) vastly improves next-day recovery | Power song: “For Whom The Bell Tolls.” #ultra
@adamgreenfield low and slow is the way to go.
@twoowls73 I’m really beginning to appreciate that.
@adamgreenfield I have to fully admit that I do not follow my ow advice. It is painful when you have to walk everywhere, it feels so counterintuitive!
@twoowls73 Nice watch repairs btw.
…and second, I am *thrilled* to share the news that I’ve been appointed Visiting Professor at the Sociology Department at LSE through March 2027. (Whaaaaaaaat?) Currently scheming about ways to leverage this appointment to do fun stuff, and open to suggestion.
@adamgreenfield HEYYYYY that's great. LSEs library is one of our more active Flickr Commons accounts.
@jessamyn They have such great archival material on the area around campus – including Clements Inn Passage, where our very first home in London sat, now effaced by the university’s own bulldozers. 😭😭
Oh, and if I was “thrilled” about the preceding, I am *beside myself* to at long last be able to share with you the fruit of almost a year’s effort: the first three episodes of Lifepod, the podcast about taking care of ourselves in a world on fire.
The conversations we’ll be having on Lifepod further explore the ideas in “Lifehouse,” about organizing ourselves to survive the reality (and interlocking, cascading consequences) of climate-system collapse, with our concern for dignity, care and the achievement of justice at the center of everything we do.
These first episodes consist of an overview from me, and conversations with Valeria Graziano & Tom Medak of the Pirate Care collective (e01) & Chris Smaje (e02).
Audio production and editing on Lifepod are by Laurence Green. Graphic and type design by Chris Lee. The music consists of excerpts from “Living is Easy,” by LA’s Agriculture, with their kind permission.
Please enjoy Lifepod, and share as you will!
I imagine Lifepod will be of interest to anyone who’s concerned with #climate, #anarchism, #mutualaid, #autonomy and so on — it’s a living inscription of what I’ve always thought of as “a #solarpunk with teeth.”
In addition to the RSS feed linked above, you can also find a rudimentary show page at
https://lifepod.transistor.fm/
Please do let me know how you get on with the show, at hellolifepod at protonmail.com — I’m hugely interested in your feedback, comments and suggestions for improvement. 👊
You understand this means we can now print up little vinyl Lifepod stickers.
@adamgreenfield Looking forward to listening - just added it to AntennaPod on my phone 🤘
@adamgreenfield congrats! I look forward to seeing what shenanigans you get up to with it
@amcewen I’ve deprived myself of the ability to say “Not a professor!”, as I’d earlier surrendered the ability to describe myself as “unaffiliated and uncredentialed,” so there had best be *something* in compensation. 😭
