Dear Tweeps

Hope you’re OK.

I’m really sorry to hear about all the pain that Mr Mush has put you through.

I run a community interest company in the UK called Charity Culture Catalyst and we help small charities develop inclusive cultures.

What has ha…https://t.co/PkbWJv1bBh

Doing change to people kills morale and tires everyone out. Creating change together is energising and unifying. Tenacious Change Approach is all about co-creation and ownership of change.

I cannot believe that I have only just found the book 'Be More Pirate' by Sam Conniff Allende!

One of the items on my bucket list is to write a pirate book.

And now I discover that someone has written a book about creating change using a pirate vibe. I’…https://t.co/adzCyncIKf

In 1801 the census was the first comprehensive picture of the make-up of society.

It provided valuable insight into many social problems – such as mortality rates among children and the de…https://t.co/yBra7xoCtN

Having a good breakfast is so important to set you up for the day...especially if you're going to actually learn something at school. If I'm hungry I know I can't concentrate on anything apart from where the next bit of food is coming from...so this work…https://t.co/lxQHA5NGOc

I'm looking forward to our annual Behumankind gathering in November and I'm playing with ideas for a little session involving music. SJ Woods likes a bit of TT apparently...

Any requests? @rucjoolz 💞 Kevin Minier @ericamarks @ImagineerNow Kirsty Kelley https://t.co/V641J9n5xf

Charity culture lessons from music production

When a producer mixes music, they are working with a variety of elements – the drums, bass, vocals, keyboards and so on.

Each of these is known as a ‘voice’. The task is to balance t…https://t.co/WihEcCbnHE https://t.co/SND3Xjtz5Z

What level of challenge and support do you need from me today?

I tried this variation of the challenge and support model out on my daughter this morning and it worked really well!

She's got some stuff to do and so I asked her with this bit of paper in f…https://t.co/KljpFQZp6I

I've got a bit bored of trying to find images recently...so I've started making my own!

I don't know if you've tried this yet...but if you get a webcam and point it back at your monitor with a Zoom meeting open (with no guests!) it does some mad feedback…https://t.co/mkjSGT7ugh

Hello to anyone who uses Zoom a lot to host meetings...

There's been a lot of features added to Zoom over the last year and I haven't had the opportunity to try many of them out.

Would anyone be up for a session to have a play around?

I've just come back from a lovely holiday in the Isles of Scilly.

Each morning I went on a walk around the same stretch of beach and rocks to have a look round and pick up any bits of rubbish.

After ten days, this was the pile I'd picked up.

Not much o…https://t.co/v5CxkBlEPJ

The results of The Big Plastic Count send a clear and urgent message: recycling is not enough – we must turn off the plastic tap.
