Christmas pressies anyone :):)
I'm enormously proud of my chapter in this. It's the first time I've written about the community I lived in during my twenties and it made me realise how much it shaped me. If you want to dig into a network of people thinking about living communally - this is where to start!

Tune in to BBC local radio wherever you are in half an hour to hear me chatting to Jo Good about Communal Living. (She’s not convinced)
*UNIVERSITY STAFF* Stop asking us to guest lecture/ run workshops / join seminars for free. It happens so often. Because the culture is that salaried academics are obligated to add these to their CV, they assume you will. You can’t pay childcare costs with good feelings 🤷♀️
Interview request 😊😊😊 I’d love to speak to people living a) with multiple generations in one household b) with a family who live with additional people or with another family Would be v grateful if you could share! X
Revelatory. @MimSkinner gives a timely insight into a women's prison. She is engaging, warm & at times understandably despairing. Cycle of "justice" without restoration/rehabilitation seems utterly pointless. Also parts made me chuckle! Wholeheartedly recommend #walkerbookrv
By @MimSkinner amazon.co.uk/Living-Togethe… <-- One for housing policy & town planning people (as well as activists @ACORNunion @genrentuk) Worth reading the 'Look inside' bit on communal living vs '2-up-2-down compartmentalised couples', & #Loneliness.
“You can build the beehive, but in the end, it is the bees that make the honey.” ‘Living Together’ author @MimSkinner writes on modern co-living and everything it could be for @guardian. theguardian.com/commentisfree/…
Commercial communalism is growing at pace. Is it just what our housing sector needs or has it missed the point? Does my skepticism stem from being a activist bore who feels resentful that people are buying community? (probs) theguardian.com/commentisfree/…
I LOVED having lunch with Sarah. Her Substack is such a fantastic hive of climate news and initiatives in the North of England. Well worth a read! And frankly a CLASSIC move from me, organising lunch at my own project so she'd get to see @REfUSE_cic Never not cheerleading.

Could you live in a communal household? Talking co-housing, intergenerational living and more over lunch with author and social entrepreneur @MimSkinner #housing #cohousing #community #countydurham thenortherneco.substack.com/p/author-and-s…
Thanks for having me Woman's Hour! So much we couldn't fit in! If you want to ask more about the two communities I've been part of, communal family life or any of the communities I've visited for Living Together, I'm doing an Ask Me Anything over on Instagram today.

Can't wait to chat about communal housing this morning. Writing Living Together took me to see communities who were using their collective power to shift inherited value systems, living in more connected, free-er, greener, healthier and fairer ways. Could it be for you?

Tune in to @BBCRadio4 tomorrow morning to hear me on ACTUAL WOMAN'S HOUR 😍 talking about Living Together, intentional communities and co-housing. *No, I will not manage to be chilled and nonchalant about it. I bloody love @BBCWomansHour
Just in case anyone is nurturing a future world where they might write a novel on maternity leave, let me just put that to bed for you. Heading back to work next week and it’s unsurprisingly not happened for me 😅.
🚨New episode alert - check your podcast feeds🚨 @MimSkinner spent a year living in communes around the UK, and says neurodivergents were over-represented in the naturist community... 🤔 Fascinating chat - now in your feeds :) #adhd #Neurodiversity

My brill step sis has written another guardian piece ❤️
Commercial communalism is growing at pace. Is it just what our housing sector needs or has it missed the point? Does my skepticism stem from being a activist bore who feels resentful that people are buying community? (probs) theguardian.com/commentisfree/…
@MimSkinner Good metaphor "You can build the beehive, but in the end, it is the bees that make the honey." You could also add: "You might get stung!" I think communities evolve, like @SpielplatzNR because of the people and their shared goals.
Not just new [gated] communities - but a bigger Q esp for #Cambridge: "Cambridge – an exclusive city or an inclusive city?" cambridgetownowl.com/2022/02/22/who… Noting that *a lot of money* stands to be made from the former.
By @MimSkinner amazon.co.uk/Living-Togethe… <-- One for housing policy & town planning people (as well as activists @ACORNunion @genrentuk) Worth reading the 'Look inside' bit on communal living vs '2-up-2-down compartmentalised couples', & #Loneliness.
@HDE_Sheraby We had a tub full of them at our Brownies to use as counters etc for games. When they changed to the new design we contacted Rowntree/Nestle who sent us two padded envelopes full, though they were all orange ones for some reason. Still used today and I'm the leader now too!
'Without people giving of themselves, these are just apartment blocks with good PR. You can build the beehive, but in the end, it is the bees that make the honey.' - love this from @MimSkinner on how community living can't be commodified: theguardian.com/commentisfree/…
