I honestly believe our most powerful position in a toxic time that feeds on cynicism, apathy,& despair is to genuinely care and act for a better world.

Cynicism is our enemy. We should check it, incl. on the left. It’s not intellectually superior. It’s the virus they’re trying to infect us with. NO

How did one charity raise £30k (and counting!) and gain 2k new donors overnight?

With the power of one story...

One of the things I’ve learnt as a late diagnosed ADHDer, is that my emotional responses are often delayed. So if something happens, it’s often not for several hours, or a day later, that I realise how sad or angry I am about it. I’ve learnt to say “I’m going to process that and come back to you”

I’ve been freelancing for over 15 years now, and the novelty of being excited for work on a Monday never gets old. I mean, I need more caffeine these days to action anything, but still…it’s nice.

Haven’t watched The Traitors final yet, but have already accidentally seen spoilers. Now wondering whether to bother watching it. In truth, I always find the final episode of a competitive show a bit…boring.

The decision of what to do with my Facebook freelance community has become such a head vs heart dilemma. My heart knows moving it is the right thing to do, but logically it’s a challenge because a) there’s no easy alternative that a decent number will adopt, b) it brings in clients.

Uk adhd people - how are you doing with the meds shortage? I’m into my second month now of not being able to get any (thankfully I rationed to half doses so still have some left). Can’t seem to find much info on when the stocks will return.

This feels like such a wise approach. Starve them of oxygen. Focus on the people I want to hear from.
We don’t have to repeat the mistakes of Twitter by following these outrage farmers when they come here. We can all just agree that these people universally suck and go about our lives without them in it. We don’t have to share “this person who sucks said another thing that sucks.” We can have peace!
every one of those op-ed columnists has spent years building up a follower list on twitter, many of whom left, and so they are angry because you owe them your attention ad to help them get paid, your entire existence is to facilitate their need to put in as little effort as possible, know your place

Ok, random questions I have this week:

1) are we chatting #Taskmaster, #NeverMindTheBuzzcocks and #GBBO?

2) Gamers - is #LegoHorizons worth it on the Switch? Partly for my son for Christmas…but realistically for me too

3) where are my fellow uk #freelancers?
