When did the end of Feburary happen?! I swear that the 27 weeks of January only finished last week.
To those (including the talented @skipinder.bsky.social), I'm jealous to not be in NYC right now at #DXS25 with @fundraiseup.bsky.social so do keep the 'bluey's' (is that what they are??) going!

Spent today reviewing pitch decks and feeling sad about the lack of effort nonprofits put into this.
12 slides& <4mins is all you get, yet nonprofits average 37 pages of word salad hoping people will read it.
H/T to @pauldegregorio.bsky.social for putting the idea in my head a year ago.

6.7 million people are planning to cut back on showers and baths to afford rising energy costs this winter. π₯Let that sink in.π₯
Our new #WorryFreeWinter campaign encourages people worried about their πenergy bills to βοΈ call National Debtline and talk about options.

Photo of Ed Davey with the text of a quote: "At a time of such instability and uncertainty, it is our values that must prevail.
Decency. Compassion. Community. Respect for the rule of law. Values that have always been at the heart of our party.
Our party celebrates Britainβs diversity as a great strength.
Our party knows that our country thrives when it is open and outward-looking."
Now more than ever, we must stand up for core liberal valuesβequality, democracy, human rights, and the rule of law.
Join us in defending these values: http://libdems.org.uk/join

Absolutely stunning Howard- the acoustics giving the extra 10% missing in most performances. Heard this in multiple venues before but if that snippet is anything to go by you heard the best!

Front cover of the book βThe pursuadersβ by anand giridharadas. It features four vertical red stripes like those on the US flag if it were on its side. The second stripe on the left is leaning or falling over into the third one, like a book on a shelf.
I keep coming back to Anand Giridharadasβ book, the pursuaders, after the week weβve had.
One of the key things I got from it last time I read it was the need to listen, to understand, and to consider the alternative view.
Our tactics need to change, because weβre not persuading enough right now.

A challenge to the #leadershipsummit at #IFC2024 - what systemic sector change (RA key driver) will your action lab achieve? Is it genuine or is it being phoned in?

Itβs a world of #polycrisis now - disruption on a global scale. We are at a turning point in history. The question is, which direction will we turn? Where will the new thinking we need come from? What will it look like? And how will leaders come forward? #IFC2024

With final preparations for
#IFC2024 in full swing, a global community starting to arrive in Noordwijk, others saying βf**k off Xβ by rebuilding our community on @bsky.app, and a wall of tech to make #IFCONLINE better than ever, itβs time #werise.
