@StormTea what are your teabags made from. They feel like nylon and sadly would not be biodegradable :(

[Emma Cheshire @germinates]

@DeniseFahmy Thank you for your long standing challenge to the entrenched and unhelpful views of ACE. Arts is a place for tollerance and debate not dogma. Donated

Fact of the day; 8 of the top 10 accelerators for female-entrepreneurs are headquartered in London.

If you're an early stage founder, or have a great idea & want to test the market, get in touch on the details below. #Founders #Entrepreneurship #Leeds #FemaleFoundersLeeds

Fantastic to hear from @AndyBurnhamGM today at the UBI Conference spelling out how we need to set people up for success with secure housing and secure incomes. And stop paying for the failure trap our current social services creates for people @UBILabNetwork @theRSAorg

[Simon J Duffy @simonjduffy]

Nice to hear @natalieben talk about a “basic income society”
She is right - we need to reimagine the basic terms upon which society is built: freedom, meaning and real productivity are the way forward. @citizen_network @UBILabNetwork @PeoplesPowerhse @theRSAorg @CitizenForward

[Simon J Duffy @simonjduffy]

#BasicIncomeNorth @AndyBurnhamGM says that over the last decade we’ve become a society where more and more people lack the basics - and even what they do get feels dreadfully insecure @CitizenForward @UBILabNetwork @theRSAorg @citizen_network

Some how @dpd_uk have managed to not find my address for the last 8 days in their attempts to deliver. Mean while @RoyalMail @amazon have had no problems and you have delivered to this address previously - please get a grip

Lovely day launching the stunning “Jacob’s Ladder” by Keith Ackerman a project by the awesome @BasementArtsPro #publicart #leeds2023

[Emma Cheshire @germinates]

Love this. Was not even aware we had a word for it.

[hullfair🦖 @hullfair]

I saw this and thought of @germinates, who is a great amplifier.

Three cabinet ministers face sexual misconduct claims mean while Angela Rayner is accused of distracting behaviour. When will male MPs grow up and own their own actions Not when ⁦@BorisJohnson remains in power⁩ | News | The Sunday Times https://t.co/M4tQoFBQAO

Line up looks amazing. Another fab event from the awesome @SarahTulip https://t.co/M66CHADxQO

If you think the Russian war with Ukraine is just about Ukraine. Think again. Brilliant insight by @carolecadwalla

[Carole Cadwalladr @carolecadwalla]

Ok. Deep breath.

I think we may look back on this as the first Great Information War. Except we're already 8 years in.

The first Great Information War began in 2014. The invasion of Ukraine is the latest front. And the idea it doesn't already involve us is fiction, a lie.

🚨Pledged funding for arts activities is at stake in the Government's #SpendingReview on Weds. I've signed the @Public_Campaign petition urging @RishiSunak to keep his promise and support every child's creativity at this crucial moment. #KeepYourPromise https://t.co/dkm8NfQdsH

[David / @daveyblahblah.bsky.social @DaveyBlahBlah]

I am not defending Janey Godley's offensive past tweets but it's absurd to see Tory MSPs lambast the SNP for working with her as a "divisive figure" when they've literally got Boris Johnson as PM 💀💀💀
