@Ozeditor Nice! Great to have that bit of knowledge tucked away now. Thanks 😀

[Ben Dare @editdare]

@lukefinleyedit @ayesha_chari @Jacqueline_edit Yes, sorry, it's changed already! I dived in when no-one was awake (although given that almost every time zone had people attending, that wasn't really going to happen) to change it - I'd heard rumours of a coup, so got in quick.

[Ben Dare @editdare]

@ClarionEditing @JanetWordsmith @MariekeGent @lukefinleyedit Yeah, it was definitely me. Luke was using his brain power to answer questions, obviously!

@GHughesEd Thanks, Graham. I enjoyed it - there was never a dull moment back in the main room!

[Ben Dare @editdare]

@AnnieDeakins @The_CIEP @GeckoEdit It was a pleasure!

[Ben Dare @editdare]

@ayesha_chari @The_CIEP @BethHamer1 @JanetWordsmith Thanks so much. I've really enjoyed my part. @BethHamer1 is amazing for everything she juggles!

@ayesha_chari @anna19aug @AndyJHodges Likewise!

#CIEP2021 is anyone else feeling the urge to have a dictionary open so they can make sure any Q&As have no typos for the wider editing community to see! (I know, I know - it's been made very clear we don't need to worry about such things, and we're a non-judgemental bunch, but…)

[Ben Dare @editdare]

#CIEP2021 it's on!

[Ben Dare @editdare]

Proud that my institute has made this statement.

I've signed. Whiteness has got to do better at receiving criticism. It's not terrorism, extremism, cancelling or spite to say "I and others are hurt by this." @ProfSunnySingh, @monisha_rajesh,
@chimenesuleyman: please know your support comes from all directions. @badformreview

Just a few minutes until 2021 UNFSS: How to Incentivize Food Loss and Waste Reduction. Still time to get there: https://t.co/LwrbGwbyM4

[Ben Dare @editdare]

https://t.co/ICT83GgyOf via @designboom This looks interesting. Using waste (some of it mine, perhaps?) for bricks. One of the @UNEP Young Champions of the Earth winners, too.

Thanks @NickTriggle @BBCNews for your article https://t.co/kjtbzZpbM7 Looks so important to take account of. I am a bit confused why the headline mentions only poverty while the article clearly speaks also of ethnic diversity overlapping, sometimes showing stronger inequalities.

[Ben Dare @editdare]

@KOKEdit Thanks for bringing this up. The better we editors are at recognising and dealing sensitively with issues around racism and equality, the more good we can do.
