Happy Earth Day 2026! One year ago today, the Bending The Arc Editors launched our very first edition of the thrutopian magazine Bending The Arc on Substack, to showcase a possible, thriveable future that we would want to bring into being. Today marks the launch of Edition 3. Over the next two and a half weeks there's lots to enjoy, ponder and contemplate. If you're not already signed up you can get each post to your inbox or Substack app. And all posts are here too:...

We'll Meet You There - the first (that we know of) thrutopian poetry collection, written in collaboration with Ilse Pedler and Alice Willitts is landing on doormats and palms. After a few days in Cumbria sharing this bright yellow beauty at Brewery Arts in Kendal and Words by the Water Festival in Keswick, we're in the final few days prep for the official online launch. It's not too late to book for the free online launch event here
