I'm not sure if I can use this platform anymore, in good conscience. Maybe I'll take a break, maybe I'll never be back. If you need me, I'm here: nowthenmagazine.com/contact


Really in-depth piece from @Kathryn_schoon_ with lots of insight from both a prominent local campaigner and the man in power who arguably has most ability to change things for the better with buses and trams in South Yorks. Recommended read.

In this long read, @kathryn_schoon_ talks about the history, present and possible future of public transport with campaigner @mjhtopham and Mayor @olivercoppard, and explores what people in South Yorkshire need from their bus and tram network. loom.ly/UwVJnvo



Andy's work is best seen IRL! Get yourself down to Gallery 24 before 27th.

One of Sheffield's best-loved painters, Andy Cropper, returns this week with a new solo exhibition at Gallery 24. Get a sneak peek at his new work and hear the story behind it in our monthly art feature. loom.ly/tL-l0xs



Frankly not a surprise, but great work from @SamMGreg getting these new figures out there via @nowthenmag

🚨 EXCLUSIVE: New data seen by @nowthenmag shows @SheffieldUni have taken even more money from arms manufacturers than previously thought. Totalling nearly £100m, this includes companies manufacturing weapons used in the genocide in Gaza. Full report ⬇️ nowthenmagazine.com/articles/exclu…



Maximum respect to @AbbeydaleBeers Great drinking and great way of organising their business.

I produced an #EasyRead version of my interview with @johnpringdns for @nowthenmag It was a challenging one because of the difficult content, but so important because learning-disabled people aren't immune to contact with the DWP. nowthenmagazine.com/articles/john-…

Marjorie Litherland is taking part in the UK's most exciting community energy project. But this isn’t benefiting residents in Brighton or a leafy borough of north London. This quietly transformative project is headquartered just up the road from us in Barnsley. A thread 🧵👇

Truly the end of an era 🥲 @PhilippaWrites, you will be missed by the @nowthenmag team but no doubt this won't be the end of our connection - and the NUN Local podcast is one to watch.

After 3.5 brilliant years at @NowThenMag, Thursday will be my final day. Here's what I'll be up to next nowthenmagazine.com/articles/zoomi…



"Visitors will be able to hear the music of the cosmos at Call of the Void, an original soundtrack created by piecing together intergalactic signals captured by observatories pointed at the night sky." 👌

This year’s @FestivalMind (19-29 Sept) promises live-coded techno, school meal memories and a psychoactive revolution, @SamMGreg writes. nowthenmagazine.com/articles/this-…

The multi-year saga of the Picture House continues. Here's hoping there can be some stability soon, because this space means so much to so many, and it's clearly unique.

An ongoing dispute between the landlord and charity tenant @CADS_Sheff leaves the future of Abbeydale Picture House uncertain yet again – while its roof and ceiling continue to deteriorate. nowthenmagazine.com/articles/futur…

Another exception piece of research and writing from @RTakver about Drax's relationship with local/regional media and its heavily contested claims of sustainability.

1/16 🧵Does this congratulatory @YorkshirePost feature about the controversial power plant Drax look real? It’s not. It’s an ad. And it’s drawn criticism that the paper enables “greenwashing.” For @NowThenMag, I investigated Drax’s influence on the paper. What I found = a lot.

The Sheffield Campus Coalition for Palestine are right now facing a potential eviction by @SheffieldUni following a court order on Friday. They've been calling attention to the university's ties with weapons manufacturers. Please get down and support the camp if you can 👇

🚨Eviction Happening Now🚨 The Palestine camp had just been issued an eviction notice and have been informed enforcement are on route. Please come down and support the camp! Location - Sheffield SU concourse area

Seriously - if you're in Sheffield, get yourself down to this. "Dig Where You Stand [...] have done more than commission or curate – they’ve built a community around this work."

We very strongly recommend checking out the @DWYS_1978 exhibition at Persistence Works. It's a first for the city and the region, a really powerful example of 'archival justice', and it's artistically brilliant. Write up from @NowThenSam 👇 nowthenmagazine.com/articles/dig-w…
