This blog may help people explore some of the 'hidden' issues involved in certain media treatments of environmental and scientific issues. Using personal digital images, it's also intended to emphasise seasonal (and other) changes in natural history of the Swansea (South Wales) area. The material should help participants in field-based modules and people generally interested in the natural world. The views are wholly those of the author.

Way To Go For Potato Heads?
Mr Potato Head has been a simple toy for children for decades. Makers Hasbro, is now attempting a relaunch with a 'create your potato head family kit' (https://www.nbcnews.com/news/us-news/mister-no-more-mr-potato-head-goes-gender-neutral-n1258877). The kit enables children to create potato parents and a potato baby 'for modern families'. They claim the kit is now 'gender neutral'. This is, however, in modern parlence, just stratching the potato skin. Why even stick to humans? Potatoes can be anything they want to be!
