📆 We're super excited to share this gem with you! Join us on Friday 12pm UTC for the talk by Bahar Kumar, Executive Director of @impacthub Kathmandu, teaching the Critical Making mentoring participants about building for continuity – all about sustainability in your business.

@MartinFutures I’ve come to the decision to leave. I don’t want to give my data and my eyeballs as ad revenue to the current ownership. I’ll try Mastodon. Will give it a few days though til I have time to extract Mastodon handles of people I follow who are moving there (seems to be more & more)

Ok, help me out here. Are any of my followers planning to leave Twitter? Or are you all wait and see, like me?

At some point we'll have to face the fact that politely asking the ruling class to stop climate destruction is not going to work.

At this point, maybe we should ask women for help. #COP27

@BBCNews I think you’ll find the clue is in the name 🤣 @JustStop_Oil #stupidquestions

Seeing the current case of Twitter confirms my belief: we need more discussions about the models of ownership and profitability of tech, including open source. They are far too important for them to be taken over by just a few.

This is the kind of #MotivationalQuotes I need right now - Higher Ground cafe @ Hirst Wood, Saltaire

📢The Global South Climate Database is live! After months of work, I am SO excited to share this resource! Please use this free, searchable database of climate experts from the global south to help elevate under-represented voices. #GSCD bit.ly/GSClimateDatab… 🧵 1/n

Had to steel myself to check the news from #Brazilelections this morning - I’m SO happy about the outcome 🇧🇷 #Lula #LulaPresidente2022 It’s a win for people and planet #AmazonRainforest

@gamelmag Me too!

Oh, the FOMO!

I no longer believe that the set of values, beliefs, power structures, and decision making mechanisms that got the world into this situation, will get us out of it. It’s time for #SystemChange #ClimateAction

We opened a Fixing Factory today! An actual shop on an actual high street! People can bring their broken stuff and get it fixed for free. This will reduce waste, cut carbon, and help with the cost of living crisis in the local community.

We’ve built our world around a system that values corporate profit more than life itself. That’s the problem, & only system change can fix it.

Hearing about the #shebuilds program from @FablabWinam, via @landonbentum of @AfricaOSH at #balifabfest - this global sharing of knowledge on how to create impact is invaluable @FabFndn @fabcityglobal

Great to hear from @landonbentum of @AfricaOSH at #balifabfest on how communities in Africa are shaping action around #openhardware #OpenScience @makeafricaeu @KumasiHive @weareGIG

So that's going to be a new PM, six week after they had an election. Why are Tories allowed to change their minds - but Scotland isn't? 🤔
