From the research, to the sequencing, to the performance.

The accumulation of extreme wealth by the world’s richest is corroding our collective future.
Economists, millionaires, and politicians from around the world agree: it’s time for the #G20 to finally do something about it. #taxextremewealth

💷Research by @UniofGreenwich has found that just *50* families have the same amount of wealth as more than half of the UK population combined. We face another winter of food banks and living in cold damp homes while some live a life of luxury.

I'm trying to work out why I find this startup narrative so infuriating. "You only need a laptop and some grit" 🧵
This week I've been thinking and writing about the role of fantasy. In short, creating our own fantasy worlds can be an act of empowerment and defiance.
Reflections inspired by @thestackworld / @sharmadeanreid, #DeborahLevy and @IrisMurdoch.

I've been reflecting on cynicism and how to override it. Thankfully spaces and ideas shared by @indraadnan, @JANDTHEF, @frucool & @jamestplunkett have all helped me understand how to switch apathy for engagement.

Just like any other form of art, poetry is such a powerful tool for personal, social and cultural engagement. I wrote 500 words on why 👇. Now I'm wondering, how can we better leverage (or integrate) it with other modes of transformation?
