Why do we talk about 'heads of organisations' but we don’t talk about them having a heart or a gut? Big data doesn't value the unmeasurable. We leave our other sources of wisdom, and the scope of human potential, on the cutting room floor. #SocialistCircle #anticapitalism buff.ly/41lr3ux

πŸ”₯πŸ”₯πŸ”₯: "If equitable and just systems are dependent on collaborations doing deeper relational work in the context of a more polarized world, then it absolutely matters how you show up, what you show up for, and what leadership you are bringing to the table." buff.ly/4h3tabT

So much this! A core part of systems change is collective inner work - the space needed to put down the masks and be human... with all the mess that that entails πŸ’”

This is the path I have chosen. #anarchy

A poem on chaos and complacency that really resonated during our discussions on the importance of inner work today! youtu.be/fnKVnEBLgGI?...

Sometimes what we don't know about inclusion is the most important thing we can know... In this blog post Abby Taylor discusses her experiences and suggestions on creating *truly* inclusive spaces. www.ciacic.com/post/what-i-...

We just played video games at work. Because sometimes making a collective impact means: - being lost in the woods - building a new house - exploring despite the risks - watching your facilitator die to 𝑏𝑒𝑒𝑠 - β€œsomething new is not accomplished by the intellect but by the play instinct.” - Carl Jung

The verdict: Guilty on all counts. But this is so much bigger than a case. People have turned up every day to stand in solidarity with Gisele. An incredible collective holding of space to support this woman's courage as she shone a horrifying light on violence. newlinesmag.com/spotlight/gi...

What is the real cost of the focus on 'keeping a stiff upper lip' for our male colleagues and leaders? We need to talk more about this: www.ciacic.com/post/the-rea...

"Community gives you the hope to try again." The funny thing about learning about learning (try saying that three times fast) is that the experience can be surprisingly meta - we sometimes end up learning and experiencing π‘œπ‘’π‘Ÿ π‘œπ‘€π‘› π‘‘β„Žπ‘’π‘œπ‘Ÿπ‘–π‘’π‘  on learning: www.ciacic.com/post/learnin...

A heartfelt thank you to everyone who joined us yesterday! It was a morning with *immaculate vibes*! We will be taking some time digest everything, respond to your emails, and will reach out to everyone shortly. Until then, we hope your technology is kinder to you than it was to Abby πŸ˜‰!

This has been my favourite phrase this year, and such an important one - particularly when it comes to acknowledging enshittification by design. We need to have conversations about this and it comes easier to share ideas when we have (wonderfully sweary) words like this!

I'm excited this is happening in 40mins (and there is still room to sign up if you'd like to drop by)! Love me a live chat room. 🀩

LOUDER FOR THOSE AT THE BACK!!

How do we *make* change? Navigate this bullshit? It starts with inner work - no, not 'love yourself before you can love anyone else'. Separation is killing us. Inner work was never supposed to be something we do alone. Together we are strong. Let's talk inner work, together. #Socialism

I'd like to create a list called #SocialistCircle with a view to expanding it to be a Bluesky community feed (so we can add it to our feeds area & see each other's posts). If you would like to be added to the list, please post your name in the comments below & retweet for wider exposure, thanks!

So many new faces here! Would love to hear more about you, your current passions & thoughts! Personally this week I've been asking questions about the role of community theatre in society, how we push the boundaries with so little time, & why we believe starving artists are 'romantic'?? (~Lara)

Some fascinating meta analysis here - especially for those working with coordination within social change spaces!
