Have a brutal Christmas! Set of two printed wooden Christmas decorations - savoy signage and College of Building and Printing. My daughter called me a ‘Capitalist Machine’ when I showed her these and I think the objectification of the Met Tower is finally complete now 👌🤣

THREAD Preston Bus Station is even better than everyone says, its the bloody Parthenon of Brutalism, an absolute miracle of a building… there is NOTHING like it anywhere in the world, it is Sublime, so we spent ages making a collection celebrating it: architectural-icons.com/coll…

Important thread
New Paper! Here I argue that the list of ingredients on the back of a pesticide should no longer be a secret. Secrecy isn't in farmer's or consumer's interests! I also take on the industry arguments defending the practice. 1/6 doi.org/10.1016/j.envsci.202…

Unlike plants, in the insect world purple is a structural colour, like on this Purple emperor butterfly. Despite its fancy name, this butterfly does not feed on flowers, but on honeydew secreted by aphids, sap oozing from oak trees, and on dung, urine and decomposing flesh. 🦋
