An excellent primer on the racial politics of time and toxic productivity in non-profits (and the world more generally). Enjoy.

@beccacaddy Learned at 30. Lessons in Edinburgh, Bedfordshire, Lusaka and Harare so my driving style was a bit all over the shop. Had my passport stolen by an instructor in Zimbabwe but also learned an amazing parallel parking technique. Passed first time in the UK. It can be done!

📢 📢 Non-profit friends! I’m writing an article about urgency and how non-profits approach time management. I’m keen to explore how we can reimagine time! ✍️🏾If you have a spare 5 minutes (!), I’d be grateful if you’d fill out or share this survey. forms.gle/dQskn4EzvdUbF4…

@brad_frost Numerous Disney films partially watched with the kids over the years. I'm still missing about 15 critical minutes of Encanto.

What's a movie you've seen in its entirety but never from start to finish?

Oh, England. You cannot give a man with a retro haircut that kind of room on the edge of your box.

@onejasonknight I don’t know if this cultural reference will resonate with your international/under-40 audience but it certainly resonates with me.

This is so a reaction, and so absurd. I've been called 'f***ing foreigner' on Trinity Street, right at the genteel heart of oh so genteel Cambridge, by an elderly gentlement in hat and suit. The gaslighting is worse than the original episode.

My wife was racially abused this morning while walking the dog in Cambridge. Not the first time it's happened. Whenever she talks about this, the reaction she gets is 'really, in Cambridge??'. Yes, really, in Cambridge. And everywhere else in the UK too. Open your eyes.

People in Cambridge (UK) hate to hear this (due to a sense of liberal smugness) but this city is home to a lot of 'genteel' racism. It's also the site of much overt bigotry - white in a van called me a p*** on my morning dog walk. Spent my morning reporting a hate crime.

@leilabilling We’re going to see a lot of this BS like this aren’t we. Already the former editor of the FT has described this as our ‘Obama moment’ 🤦‍♂️

This is so dispiriting - a failure to understand the most basic principles of how racism or intersectionality work. Some might call this wilful ignorance - women of colour have tried many times to educate this particular MP about her white privilege…

The Tintin French-English/English-French dictionary is absolutely full of useful day to day phrases. Sadly (and entirely predictably) much of it is unfit to reprint.

@johncutlefish And yet humans continue to create non-value-producing processes and then defend them with their lives once they’re in place. We’re a weird bunch.
