Just as the inspirational #DavidGraeber said : 'The ultimate hidden truth of the world is that it is something that we make, and could just as easily make differently,'

What is needed is for people to feel they have power & agency to change things. This world is made by the multiple actions of people. If we are intentional in what we do & join forces more, we have more power than we think.

I do believe there is reason to be hopeful. I feel that we are in a moment in time where more & more people understand what is wrong, false and inhumane in the way our governments, for profit organisations and billionaires are determining our future.

It was difficult to be positive, it feels like there is so little to be hopeful about in these days. But I was surprised of how positively I responded.

Yesterday I was interviewed by a phd student about #TechCoops. Towards the end of the conversation she asked me if there was any reason to be hopeful.

Don’t stop believing in change. There are amazing people out there changing this world for the better one big or small action after another. Don’t give up. #WeAreThe99% ✊🏽

To all the people fighting the cancer battle today. Keep strong…and be kind to yourself… you will get through this in the best possible way. And solidarity with all who carry a visible or invisible disability. You, your loved ones and your carers are heroes. πŸ₯°βœŠπŸΌ

I could write so much about this experience…but the most important things to say are the most obvious ones: this life is so precious…make sure you live it fully and intentionally…and love and let people love you as that’s the most beautiful gift of all.

Today is a difficult anniversary for me. Exactly two years ago today my life was turned upside down. I was diagnosed with bowel cancer. After chemo, radiotherapy & surgery I’m clear…for now.

There is so much we can learn from the past, but also how can we evolve ingrained ways of working that might not be serving the movement appropriately in the current rapidly moving landscape.

Was also great to meet up with @coopfutures.bsky.social yesterday and talk about #CoopGrowth and the role of national and local organisations.

America’s top companies keep talking about AI β€” but can’t explain the upsides FT analysis of hundreds of filings suggest the S&P 500 businesses are clearer about the risks than benefits

Some crack reporting from the Financial Times on the current real world impact of AI tools on contemporary businesses. It's funny to see businesses admit the very limited impact, and very high risks, of AI deployment on.ft.com/3IEuXJr

From Digital Feudalism to Digital Sovereignty By Manuel Aguilera

This was one of the most interesting debates I’ve attended for a long time. It got a bit heated at some point (in my view a culture clash) which was a pity because both arguments were really interesting. Well worth watching : β€œFrom Digital Feudalism to Digital Sovereignty” medium.com/iipp-blog/fr...
