Isn’t it really nice when you meet NICE, REAL people in charities. Switched on, smart, and really care about what they do. RESOLUTION: spend more time with people who are really into their work. Less time with people who want to w*nk on about their careers and finance. Meanwhile new blog tomorrow:

Plausible deniability?

Mark Zuckerberg looks like a sex pest at a health spa. He would keep trying to get you to go in his cabin, and give you unwanted shoulder massages. Creepy look for a creepy guy.

Time for another instalment of BARELY CIVIL SOCIETY, looking into the crystal ball for 2025. Think of this as a sort of PEST for the sector, which is coincidentally what some people think of me personally. Good content, and guaranteed a good rude joke or too. #charity #nonprofit #politics #VCS

Robert Reich is a big hero of mine. I like this recent quote. But let’s be clear. ‘Positive thinking’ is not what he’s arguing for. We need hard cynicism about the current reality, and big dreams for the future. Change can happen. Being honest about the now is the first step. #nonprofits #charities

Tank tops should NEVER match your skirt.

Dolly Parton and me love a good theory of change. She once said: "Find out who you are, and then do it on purpose." That’s what most theories of change are. Of course you may need to think from scratch. Or use it to course correct. But either way, it’s working out what you do and why. I can help!

I’m thinking of becoming a demotivational speaker for charity CEOs. Instead of telling people they’re amazing and they can do the impossible, I’m going to tell them they’re good enough and they can do the achievable. Good enough in this world is amazing. “YOU GOT THIS! But let’s be realistic.”

It’s Friday morning and time for Barely Civil Society. This week taking a look at what next for #youthwork, with the last of the Big Society Boondoggles, NCS, coming to an end. Plus more general charity sh*tshow updates. dralexevans.substack.com/p/goodbye-na...

Lidl has now started selling clothing for #charity #CEOs in crisis. Important and necessary.

Meanwhile, hit me up if you need help to reduce usage. I bought two btw.

Funny looking badger.
Feels like when charities give the contract to one of the big consultancy firms. They pay top dollar, and then get stuck with the intern….
