[Helen Bevan @HelenBevan]

Being an effective change agent isn't just about making change happen. It's also about learning, reflecting & growing our own understanding & capabilities. So I loved "Action inquiry: a learning approach for systems change", a new (free) publication from @SystemChangeSch. It covers:
1) An overview of action inquiry: it comes from the same roots as action research, but it is aimed at change practitioners who seek to build learning into their work as a systemic practice;
2) Framings: ways of thinking that can help shape how we see & interpret information, our own experience & opportunities to change the world;
3) Embodying action inquiry as a continual, life long process of learning, growing & evolving: it helps us to reshape who we are, how we show up & how we engage with the systems around us:

Get a cup of coffee and listen to Hannah Ritchie (Our World in Data; Uni Oxford) explain in 12 minutes how we can solve the climate crisis. We have the means to do it. But we must overcome the powerful resistance by those who benefit from the current fossil fuel system.

There's often enough said about learning styles that I don't write or say much about it but today something happened and I felt like creating this. Hope you'll allow me to share.

@HMRCcustomers We sent 2 self-assessments and 2 DT-Individual claims in June in same envelope from Denmark. Have received response to self-assessment. Any chance we get a response to DT Individual before Jan 25?

The "national debt" means money spent into the economy but not taxed back out.

That's it. That's all. It is not "borrowed." It is not "owed" to anyone. It does not have to be "repaid."

The use of the word "debt" is a legacy from days when kings had to round up gold.

"How to Use AI to Help, Not Hinder, Your Learning" from @annefensie includes approaches I hadn't thought of like "I am taking ECON101... I have no interest in these topics. Why should I be interested?" https://t.co/lMnvGoM9u7

Do you travel intentionally? As many of us prepare to take our summer vacation how aware are you of the place you have travelled to and it's history?

@HMRCcustomers Yes

@HMRCcustomers Just phoned. Got through after an hour. Explained my case and the customer support agent went off to look for info. Call cut off. Can I assume my query will be logged and actioned?

A scientist who does not think critically and creatively is just a technician. So I’m not sure I buy this.

[Dr Renée Landell @Nay_Landell]

They scream "STEM only" because they're aware that subjects that are powerfully designed to cause one to think critically & creatively (Arts & Humanities; social sciences) is a HUGE threat to oppressive powers. Don't be fooled to think they truly believe these degrees are useless

[Greg Ashman @greg_ashman]

“Teaching is a non-causal practice”

A senior lecturer at one of Australia’s schools of education does not believe teaching causes learning.

Let’s give up, go home, let the children play, close the schools and close the schools of education.

https://t.co/AFOOIzOVo9 The pros and cons of abortion and what happens when your strong views meet the reality of the potential death of your pregnant partner. Lots to think about in the latest Absolutely Intercultural podcast.

[Dirk Ehnts @DEhnts]

“I very much enjoyed working with Dirk on a variety of segments of his latest book. It's one of the very few that is fundamentally grounded in an understanding of monetary operations as practiced by all central banks.”
