Walk your talk day, out in the rain, we delivered!

[Action for Children @actnforchildren]

Yesterday, alongside other charities, we braved the cold to hand in a letter signed by over 70,000 people calling the government to take urgent action on the #CostOfLivingCrisis.

"Dear Rishi Sunak and Jeremy Hunt, don't let this become our new normal"

I am happy to share that I have been appointed as the new Research Lead for the School of Communication at the Royal College of Art. Excited to work alongside wonderful colleagues to create a truly vibrant research community together 🙏🙌 #designresearch @rca

Choosing between heating and eating must not become the new normal. Join us in telling @RishiSunak and @Jeremy_Hunt to pull us out of this #CostOfLiving catastrophe. Sign the open letter https://t.co/AmE4ARMt8u #CostOfLivingcrisis #energycrisis

Hot off the press, our heat geniuses have found ways to slash the manufacture and install costs of heat pumps.

We’ve specially designed our very own heat pump. It'll be ready to go in the second half of the year.

Welcome to the future of home heating.

Without immediate action from the Govt, around 7 million households will face an impossible winter, forced to choose between heating & eating.

That’s why we have joined over 60 charities in writing to @RishiSunak calling on him to implement the solutions to this crisis.

[Laura Santamaria @SublimeFutures]

Fairy godmother is here with her magic wand! 😅 I’m sorry, but … “You cannot solve a problem with the same mind that created it.”
We need radical solutions for #energydemocracy

@MartinaOlb But I really relate to your observation and wish more people checked in on themselves (including me) more often. With expanded awareness we come to see we are NOT our mind, thank goodness!

[Laura Santamaria @SublimeFutures]

@MartinaOlb While each person is in their own head, one speaking out of need/boredom/obligation, and the other not really listening but thinking about their positioning there’s no true communication. It’s just noise!

[Laura Santamaria @SublimeFutures]

@MartinaOlb Exactly. Deep listening is acquired and requires training. #counsellingskills

[Laura Santamaria @SublimeFutures]

@MartinaOlb It’s self-judgement. The need to feel important, or recognition is real though. I find this happens more in dialogue with people we are no so close (or socially safe), hence, the mind is busy working out strategies to outsmart the possibility of being outsmarted! Vicious circle

[Laura Santamaria @SublimeFutures]

@MartinaOlb I totally agree! It’s usually the case, the struggle to overcome makes us a specialist in the subject, doesn’t it?

[metadesigners @metadesigners]

Currently, Boris Johnson’s speeches contain the “greed is good” ethic to justify selling off Channel 4 to private investors. (Apparently, we need another Netflix!!?). If you disapprove of greed used for political purposes you can sign @UKChange’s petition: https://t.co/KnagGdNavc

hmmm... still no outside-the-box thinking...
