@GergelyOrosz This is a technique that’s been used successfully by Thoughtworkers (including myself) for a few years now: it’s effective! https://t.co/XYGcz54GCn

@the_sheps and @RowsePoppy did a great talk on it recently too https://t.co/8dIvjtkOI9

@a_bangser I found you through the link in your profile and this handy tool https://t.co/GVwmkF3E5k

For learning I’m finding @[email protected] useful

Do you struggle to code after a meeting? In the morning? Do you struggle to pay attention to a meeting after a deep work?

We know that context switching is costly but we rarely talk about how we can be more interruptable.

Here's a simple interruptible workflow that you can try:

@GlobalEcoGuy I enjoyed this read on the subject https://t.co/LjSL3WWloD

I had enough of the unjustified claims about SoupGate so I wrote a blog post about the empirical evidence behind radical tactics. To summarise: Little evidence that these actions are OVERALL harmful for the climate movement - and they could help too 🧵

@GlobalEcoGuy It seems like the author is saying, “instead of stopping new fossil fuel projects and investing in low carbon energy we need to invest in low carbon energy and stop new fossil fuel projects.” Feels like splitting hairs, but I also don’t see why there can’t be multiple approaches.

@the_sheps Awww cute 🥰 if it helps you’ve got a way to go to beat my record—I’ve had it three times so far!

[Joe Ray @jr261]

@the_sheps It sucks. My advice: lean into it hard. Eat comfort food, watch Netflix until your ass gets numb, go to bed at 9 and sleep for 12 hours, whatever’s gonna get you through it.

[Joe Ray @jr261]

@the_sheps Oh nooo, hope it’s not too bad and goes quickly!

Having just read ‘What White People Can Do Next’ (which I would highly recommend) this thread really resonated with me.

Some useful context if you want to understand how problematic it is for @cloudflare to be proudly supporting KiwiFarms. If you’re a cloudflare customer, you might want to ask yourself if you’re ok with explicitly enabling this behaviour.

@mikegyi @GetCroissant You had me until sparkling water 🤢

[Joe Ray @jr261]

@a_bangser I switched to the ‘latest tweets’ view in the app a while ago to avoid all the recommendations and it works a charm! Tap the sparkles in the top right of the home feed.

@Jannionthego @ctford @warmfusion ?

[Joe Ray @jr261]

Do I know anyone who's had to manage an on-call rota (and remuneration) across multiple countries? And/or specifically in Spain? @ctford do you do any on-call stuff in Spain?

@Efteling My bottle didn’t fit in the sink! Fortunately we managed to fill up in one of your restaurants.

[Joe Ray @jr261]

@Efteling Do you have somewhere to fill water bottles? Your staff said to use the toilets which seems weird given we’re in a climate emergency!

@the_sheps What’s going on with middle left? Underdone finger? Stick of butter?
