The Kindness Fix is out today! 🎈 Please spread the word!

This book comes from a place of frustration with the state of our politics and the ways in which we often mistreat those most in need.

But we can do things very differently…

Can my students pitch a policy problem in the time it takes to cross half the bridge at West Lake? With no tech, and only what they have in their hearts & heads, they rose to the challenge. it’s good to remember that a great teaching and learning moment can happen anywhere we want it to happen.

With climate change in focus following COP29, our Malaysia node wrote two articles for 360info one on what the Loss and Damage Fund means for Indigenous communities, and the other on the vital role of women in climate change adaptation across Southeast Asia 👉https://www.monash.edu/mcccrh/news

I wrote about the way the SEND crisis is quietly unpicking women's lives - destroying careers, dismantling relationships, damaging physical and mental health.

And all this goes on unacknowledged.

Long read for The i Paper:

Yes they were super helpful - also found a plug in thing that shows you which of your twitter friends are on Bluesky. Used it before the recent mass exodus so may try it again

The Telegraph has managed to get a 14 word headline & a news story out of a 4 word tweet, in their continued attempt to treat any impulsive Musk utterance as newsworthy
