The process for setting up events is a bit chicken and egg so you have to start somewhere. We only have six and a bit weeks so it will have to work pragmatically rather than most efficiently or elegantly. The main criterion is “Are You Outside London?” If you are and you’d like us to…
TL;DR – I’m going to open as much space as I can, all around the UK, before the General Election to talk about power and politics and us at a much deeper and more practical level than is available online. There’s a Loomio Group Facebook Group to join if you want to help make it…
I ran Blog Club in London today with an exercise from the most awesome Lynda Barry. If you want to play too, here’s her blog post with instructions and words from the fine woman herself. I’ve done it with groups a few times and it’s really good warm up for getting into the writing space…

So yeah, hate might be a bit strong but we’ve been talking this morning about titles for blog posts. You’ll remember that last week we fired off as many headlines as we could. Today we’ve talked about crafting them a bit more. My things are: It’s one of those things again that falls too quickly…

Check it out. It has a bit of Blockchain, but it’s…
This post is intended as a starting point for online collaboration – let it be a launchpad for something you make yourself. I think the first time I heard the word renewal it was in relation to library books. If you wanted to keep a book longer than the standard amount of time, past the…
