@festofdebate.bsky.socialReposted by @nowthenmag.bsky.socialShould #Sheffield have its own dedicated Music Office to boost the creative sector, and if so, what form should it take? 🤔
Tomorrow we're hosting a free online briefing sharing research findings to date and setting out the initial thinking
@nowthenmag.bsky.socialWhat sets their brand of indie wonk-pop apart is their ability to provide an insight, with a self-deprecating openness, into modern life for young women.

@nowthenmag.bsky.socialNext Saturday, the Sheffield-Nablus Live Link Concert returns to Crookes Social Club, #Sheffield. The first joint concert took place over Zoom, but when restrictions were lifted, it blossomed into a vibrant, in-person celebration of art and solidarity.

@nowthenmag.bsky.socialI think one of the key issues right now is the capacity of humans to be co-operative in the face of increasing crises, conflicts and disasters. Capitalism conditions us to believe that we’re inherently competitive creatures – but I just don’t buy this. ✍️ Paul Allender
@nowthenmag.bsky.socialTom Cruise is a polarising actor. While some see him as a fearless champion of the cinema experience, others think of him as a stuntman playing himself. So it’s only natural that 'Digger' is the most polarising film of the year. ✍️ Jamie Hartle
@weareopus.bsky.socialReposted by @nowthenmag.bsky.socialWe recently invited representatives from Sheffield’s voluntary and community sectors to look at neighbourhoods across the city, asking them to select a starting set to invest in as a demonstrator for what new forms of neighbourhood democracy might look like.

@nowthenmag.bsky.socialThe NHS was created on the understanding that healthcare is something we provide collectively, not a market opportunity to be carved up between competing private interests. Our data should be treated in the same way.

@nowthenmag.bsky.social"It was a neon sign to fans who had deserted her during her IndieKylie phase that she was back to pop"
Ahead of @junobooks.bsky.social 's Ultimate Kylie Quiz in a few weeks, we've got an exclusive extract from @mcragg.bsky.social's new book about the Princess of Pop 'Can't Get You Out of My Head' 🪩
@sammgreg.bsky.socialReposted by @nowthenmag.bsky.socialThis piece by Ros, about the heroic efforts of the @sheffswiftnetwork.bsky.social to create new homes across our city for these brilliant little birds, is a great read ⤵️
@nowthenmag.bsky.socialSwifts are incredibly faithful to their nesting places, but when older buildings are repaired, the gaps they used for nesting get blocked.
@sheffswiftnetwork.bsky.social is attempting to build a network of people and neighbourhoods that gives swifts somewhere to nest across #Sheffield.

@nowthenmag.bsky.socialTideTied’s new single, ‘Lover of Mine’, is dipped in 1960s psychedelica. Haywood's lyrics remind me of Jackson C. Frank or Jefferson Airplane, where the lines between the real and the supernatural become increasingly blurred.
