Scientific Publishing: Enough is Enough
Why we're no longer funding journal publications
Journals are the Problem
"I often hear scientists say they can’t abandon journals because they will lose their funding. As a funder, I’m letting you know that we’re not just comfortable with new publishing strategies, we require it."

merry go rounds
I want off this ride, but I can't leave
A wandering, circular conversation about #coaching this time, where I sort of lose hope and then maybe find it again? I don't even know anymore, but I'm realising that my ability to admit that is important.

A logo featuring the title "The Thought Garden" written around a sketch of flowers and the outline of a house, with purple and cream blobs of colour
I love the notion that we are human becoming (rather than beings, which are static and unchanging and only now), so my ~fortnightly newsletter is now 🌿 The Thought Garden 🌿 which is a more accurate way to describe the open, genuine, expressive way I write now 🥹

Empathy is Weakness, Ignorance is Strength, War is Peace
A debate on TV, shared afterwards on You Tube, already watched by millions.
No time to listen. You must shout.
No time to learn. You must preach.
No time for humility. You must fly high on hubris.
...unless, that is, we refuse to play the game and choose instead to break the chain.

What San Francisco carpooling tells us about anarchism | Aeon Essays
How San Francisco’s free rides system can help us understand anarchist theory and the work of the late, great James C Scott
"There were no written rules; codes of conduct were implicit and shared through quotidian practice. A programme without formality, an establishment without walls – an institution of the most durable kind.
...it worked, and all participants benefited."

yeah, it's a fascinating topic, but probably not a good idea to try to unpack further given the 300 character 'constraint' on here 😉
