In town for some shopping (long story) & just by the bus stop to return was #Pep&Fodder. So for #OldTimesSake I went in for a #FlatWhite @mrhyde
A trip into town on the 26 bus shd be such a mundane journey. But it isn’t, as I haven’t been for simply ages (can’t remember when the last one was) and am wholly out of practice
Attending a launch event - a #symposium, no less! - for this book, next Tues. Thx #ToppingsBookshop
Have been trying to reauthorise Echofon for Twitter for some days, but still getting a msg about an internal Twitter server error - anyone else similarly stuck?

Will you be wearing a #WhitePoppy this year? Please feel free to tell us your reasons!
Ed says, "I wear a white poppy because it isn't enough simply to say 'Never Forget'. We also have to be bold enough to pledge 'Never Again' and to work for peace."

If you live in or near Porty, Edinburgh’s seaside town and are interested in rewilding the this is for you.
This is one of my favourite bags. Last month I took it on holiday to carry all my extra devices, batteries, charging cables, a box of LFTs. Today it was a tool bag, full of screwdrivers, pliers, & the like…
There is another reason I like it very much: whenever I use it, I’m reminded of the day when @_laurencurrie_ ‘s mum Carol came along to the ALISS Innovation Workshop in spring 2010, & advised us all on marketing & comms
I'm very proud to know Sarah Drummond (aka @rufflemuffin). She seeks to make a film about Section 28 - find out more about her intentions at bit.ly/3z5mdmL - & needs your help.
As she says, 'the price of liberty is eternal vigilance'. Indeed so!!
Zoe rivet figures for Edinburgh are skyrocketing. This (below) is important context - why is no one concerned? #ThreeMonkeys??

[From further down in the thread:]
"The very idea that there is some benefit from getting infected, i.e. gaining immunity from future infections, has now been shown to be incorrect.
The opposite: an infection makes the next infection worse, not better."
Including for vaxxed.

Another boss morning discovering gifts and asset mapping in Granby & Toxteth. We love learning about this place from those who know it best.
It's essential to remember that a map is not the territory, so stories, meaning and narrative are key!

No they haven't- as per the ONS, they're *10* times higher than the same time last year. We've just stopped testing most people. Please correct this.
As UK Covid cases fall to lowest level for a year, what could the future look like? theguardian.com/world/2022/m…

And lastly, but DEFINITELY not least, the amazing @rufflemuffin will be joining @theschoolofgood 👏🏼
I've written about why we're becoming a school and what that means here. TLDR; traditional service design training is broken and the world needs better

Excellent thread on PartyGate as national security threat. Stands above the miasma of disgust that otherwise envelopes you when you think about the behaviours involved.
