"A survey earlier this year found that three-quarters of children spend less time outside than US prison inmates. The National Trust has long spoken of “nature deficit disorder” as screen time increases and the so-called “radius of activity” shrinks (the area around a child’s home where they are allowed to roam unsupervised has shrunk by over 90% since 1970). There is a mental health epidemic in adults that stems partly from the health system’s failure to adequately deal with issues in childhood. We are constantly being hawked mindfulness apps and techniques as a way of supposedly dealing with this."

Thank you, President Obama, for being a feminist
By Lucia Graves
"If a white guy like Clinton helped pave the way for America’s first black president, then perhaps it’s fitting that Obama should pave the way for the country’s first female president. And on Thursday that’s exactly what he did when he called himself a feminist in the starkest terms yet, in a highly personal essay about the challenges and rewards of raising two daughters in the White House."

Barack Obama shows 5 things that are harder than registering to vote
Buzzfeed kicked off a get-out-the-vote initiative with the help of President Barack Obama on Monday, demonstrating five things “harder than registering to vote.”
In a short video, Obama attempts to name dead “Game of Thrones” characters, plays the classic board game “Operation,” makes a friendship bracelet for Vice President Joe Biden, untangles headphones and stacks Cheerios on top of a stuffed animal representation of his dog, Bo.
“That stuff’s hard. But you know what isn’t? Registering to vote. I hope you all understand that you have the power to shape our country’s course. Don’t take that for granted,” Obama said.

In her latest collection, Voyage, poet Karen McCarthy Woolf takes a wryly humorous look at migration, a topic that continues to dominate the political and cultural landscape. Giving voice to stories and experiences that are rarely heard in the mainstream media, she offers a witty and nuanced take on a complex subject. Her poems are interleaved with illustrations by Sophie Herxheimer, who has collected 'migration stories' from visitors to the National Maritime Museum in Greenwich.
