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!

You leaving torchbox and coming back client side is good for us all Michael 💪

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. 💥Let that sink in.💥

Our new #WorryFreeWinter campaign encourages people worried about their 🔌energy bills to ☎️ call National Debtline and talk about options.

Made a really good friend giggle through their bad flu day today so thought I’d share it here too.

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 Britain’s 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 values—equality, democracy, human rights, and the rule of law.

Happy to chat

So proud of my middle bro with @rmband at #FOM2024 tonight

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 “The pursuaders” 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 Giridharadas’ book, the pursuaders, after the week we’ve 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 we’re not persuading enough right now.

“One Nation, under misogyny. Divisible. With borders and injustice for all but white men.”

- fixed it.

When you’ve had a week of helping run a successful #ifc2024 and your body has adapted to early wake ups even on the morning after so you start editing and uploading the on demand content at 6am on Saturday 😱

“Make yourself impossible to ignore.” #ifc2024

“Our indignation should drive our action.” - Archana Konanur Ramachandraiah.

#ifc2024

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?

It’s 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

6am #ifc2024 is very peaceful - and provides a moment of calm among the madness of what is about to begin!

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

Well, #hereIam. Thanks to @pauldegregorio.bsky.social for getting me onto the Big New #Blue... Let's see what my journey on here looks like over the next few months (and years).
