For anyone who’s had a tough week…
In just forty-four days the sun will set at 19.30, trees and flowers will be in full bloom and the days will be longer and warmer.
Hang in there. Brighter days are so so nearly here.

We thank for her no doubt sincere concern about people with epilepsy, but we're happy to confirm that this would be no more likely to trigger a seizure than any other striped pattern. We hope the Baroness & everyone else enjoys the rest of LGBT+ History month.

The second Irish #eurosong finalist is apparently a real headline grabber. John Lydon/Johnny Rotten/Public Image Ltd with a song called "Hawaii" which recalls Lydon's happiest days with his wife, who is now suffering with dementia.
This could be a real dark horse.

Scarborough Council has cancelled its NYE fireworks because there’s a walrus having a kip on the front, which is possibly the finest story to end 2022 we could ask for.

Always remember you have far more in common with striking nurses, railway workers, and postal workers than with the political and media classes telling you those people are your enemy.

1/. As freezing temperatures hit, we put a clothes rail outside a church with a sign:
IF YOU'RE COLD, TAKE ONE
IF YOU CAN HELP, LEAVE ONE
What happened next was miraculous
The rail filled with warm clothes
Rough sleepers helped themselves
The rail was replenished every day

So today I learned that Air Force One, the presidential jet has had one more takeoff than landing.
Before you step in with a "well, yea, makes sense if it's in the air right now" comment, that's not the reason.

We’re now getting to a really dangerous point in the trans panic. GCs/TERFs are so convinced that trans identities aren’t real & are just “ideology” that they’re attacking key charities such as the Samaritans because they mention trans people. This is going to endanger more lives

1. "Digital by default" is nonsense and wrong.
2. Service transformation, not digital transformation.
3. Content design *must* be cross-channel. Stop silo'ing CDs in "digital teams". In fact do away with your digital team entirely.

Can we get a RT of support for postal workers?
Bullied, pressured, intimidated, told they face the sack, losing money, an employer that is out to destroy them.
Yet they will not bow. They will not give in. They will not lay down.
Up. The. Posties.

Not only should that meeting have been an email, but that email should’ve been scheduled for January…
Let’s be kind to our burnt out colleagues and not give them new things to worry about as we wind down for a much needed rest 🙏🏻
