Never mind the bees, save the moths. New research from the University of Sheffield UK tells us that moths are almost as important pollinators as bees, but being small, dull, and largely nocturnal are overlooked in this capacity.

Everyone objected to the planning permission for this building obscuring the Arts Tower, including the city council, except the manager of the Sainsbury's adjacent to it. Govt planning laws meant it was pushed through. What an eyesore, spoiling the sightlines and blocking the view from the Arts Tower itself. #Sheffield #ArtsTower #Ponderosa

It’s not cheating using #ebikes (although it is using Strava but that’s just for visual representation), if it wasn’t for electric-assist bikes we would be driving. Averaging 20km/hr isn’t that much slower than a car. Two hours in the saddle.

We should be building for #cargobikes more than EVs. Cheaper for everyone, much better for the environment, better all round.

Here's a #postcard of #Sheffield, which counts as a #HigherEducationPostcard because 2/4 of the views show Sheffield Hallam University, where my dad was a lecturer.

Bottom left are the Owen and Howard buildings seen from behind the Howard Hotel; bottom right the Owen Building seen from across Arundel Gate. Arundel is pronounced aRUNdle in this context. Promise.

#HigherEducation

Old postcard showing four views of Sheffield, equally-sized and arranged in a two-by-two matrix . Top left, a hotel and shops (its the Grosvenor house Hotel, seen from the bottom of Pinstone Street; a concrete tower behind concrete and glass shops, on a busy street scene.) Top right the town hall, a Victorian gothic stone building, by lovely gardens (the Peace gardens) and with the shops of Pinstone Street in the background. Bottom left, a fountain and flowers, in front of an old half-timbered pub (the Howard hotel) and in the background the concrete buildings of Sheffield Hallam University. There's an old blue-and-white bus too. Bottom right, a large concrete building (again, part of Sheffield Hallam University) seen from across an urban dual-carriageway. The sky is suspiciously blue in all of the photos. A red band runs horizontally across the middle of the card, with "Sheffield" in white print capitals in the middle

What sort of architectural style is this ? There is loads of it being built in #sheffield.

It feels like a return to the modernist style as although it has a brick fascia to soften it a bit, it doesn't have any of the toytown faff or externalised workings of postmodern (cf Guild House or Pompidou)

neo-brutal ? cheap ?

You like my new slipper/shoes from Montane?

I haven't worn any type of shoe since 1999 😮 I had surgery to cut my tendons in each ankle in 97 that they used to do for boys with Duchenne. It was a complete waste of time and made my feet weak and painful, so I stopped wearing shoes for 24 years.

Of all the reports on the #Sheffield street tree scandal I've seen, this has to be the most shocking detail: Council bosses considered killing thousands of healthy trees to justify cutting them down

The report, published on Monday, revealed that
in 2018, Paul Billington, then director of place,
sent an email to councillor Bryan Lodge, then
head of the programme, summarising options for
action with the header "please print and then
delete".
The email suggested resorting to "ring barking"
to "defeat" protesters.
The report said ring barking is a method of killing
healthy trees by completely skinning the bark
around the circumference of the trunk.
"The tree is killed and dies over a number of
months. It would move all trees into the 'dying'
category and mean that STAG (Sheffield Tree
Action Group) could no longer claim they were
defending 'healthy' trees." it said.
"It would be unprecedented for a council to adopt
this approach across a large number of street
trees and would probably result in howls of
protest from lay people, the media and an
escalation in protests. It would therefore best be
done with an element of surprise over a short
period of time."
