It turned out that comic books were really good at predicting the future.

looking forward to contributing to this conference in Dublin tomorrow www.dtni.org.uk/wp-content/u...

some of the work Iโ€™m doing is difficult I want to use more of my adaptive leadership and creativity to support the work guess I need to own that a bit more

being clear about what you want is really important last week I went out with 2 big asks one was to do a towns first creative & radical imagination session for a struggling community letโ€™s see where they go

my experience is if you are using โ€˜jargonโ€™ explain it but also use plain English in public speaking I ask the audience opening questions & match my response accordingly eg. who here has heard of abcz ? 3 people = basic info half the room = quick basics & detail + makes it conversational

My rule for general audiences is use jargon, but sparingly. People are perfectly capable of learning new terms and they desperately need them.

โ€œdo the proper bibliographic research to check if your idea is, in fact, newโ€ ๐Ÿ‘Œ๐Ÿป Dr. Astrid Scholz substack a good mix of ascorbic dare I say scepticism ~ a tribute to Dr Hazel Henderson & provenience @ systems change, economics & financial frameworks ajscholz.substack.com/p/we-keep-fo...

โ€œPublic acceptance is also crucial. Many people are sceptical about gas grid shutdowns, mainly due to the cost of transitioning. To reduce resistance, cities like Mannheim are implementing extensive public information campaigns and financial supportโ€œ @janrosenow.bsky.social

Began mini meadow creation in north Wexford in 2022 (mostly cutting,removing rank thatch layer after covid abandonment) 31st May 2024 ๐Ÿ‘‡๐Ÿ™‚ Local Hay rattle was first sown in 2 by 1m2 plots in autumn 2022 for 2023 flowering and seed gathered and sown autumn 2023 over 60 m2 developed nicely for 2024.

A blue sky spring day in Ireland at last ๐ŸŒฟ#speirgorm

good day in the garden under a blue sky

Over two years delay to ACRES environmental payments for some is undermining faith in future eco schemes. The anguish in the voices of proud men unable to pay their bills is palpable. #RTECountrywide Listen: ๐Ÿ‘‰ www.rte.ie/radio/podcas...

No less true today than it was 130 years ago.

I get sent things like books wip, thesis & requests for interviews with the most presumptive โ€˜I expect you to do thisโ€™ from academics, provosts & Phd/Master candidates as a non-academic self employed person I observe it as weird, the experience of it is rude, extractive privilege

Great reporting on @rteradio1.bsky.social 's Countrywide this morning on the very serious, long delays to many farmers' environmental scheme payments. If farmers are to have *any* faith in being paid for nature-friendly farming (or hopefully rewilding, in the future), this MUST be sorted, fast.

I needed a day off for my brain and now someone has asked me about a creative brief and my brain cannot stop thinking about it

Looks like my app has been updated and, while it is now in every way worse, it's also New and Different, which is what I demand as a consumer

โ€œIf you're not careful, the newspapers will have you hating the people who are being oppressed, and loving the people who are doing the oppressing.โ€ A classic quote from Malcolm X, who was assassinated 60 years ago today.

find myself down a rabbit hole reading about the life of Vรกclav Havel because of this quote and because of these times

Northern Ireland First Minister Michelle Oโ€™Neill says she will not attend St Patrickโ€™s Day events at the White House in protest against US President Donald Trumpโ€™s position on Gaza. ๐Ÿ”ด LIVE updates: aje.io/zenhdd

building on this from GEF - gef.eu/publication/... โ€œGrowth is no longer a viable path, yet the idea of a post-growth society is still struggling to enter mainstream politics. Despite mounting ecological and social crises, policy discussions remain locked in outdated economic paradigms.โ€

currently writing emails and not sending them grrr!

New from my team: for the same volume of energy transition minerals it would take to make all of the Pentagon's non-combat vehicles into EVs, we could electrify the entire Postal Service, the entire Parks Service, and put battery backup on more than 7600 federal buildings. ๐Ÿงต

I will be reading as part of Carlow University MFA in Creative Writing Virtual Reading Series RAISING OUR VOICES on Sunday 23rd February (2pm EDT/7pm Ireland/UK). It's free and open to the public. Please sign up below if you're interested. www.eventbrite.com/e/raising-ou...

and back to work on levers for change not just in the system but in the thinking, actions and spaces that can make a difference for safe just spaces & a low carbon future where all life flourishes not just people who can afford to or are privileged enough to flourish

Jon Davis cartoon in the Guardian on "how the UK government is tackling the climate crisis" Or any government, for that matter... www.theguardian.com/commentisfre...

Excellent news. Overdue education for many British people about its role in Irelandโ€™s history. Buckle up.
