Just a few thoughts on how charities could tackle Social Media in 2025. Social Media is not dead and neither is the social side of social media, it's simply changing. socialforgood.ie/what-should-... #Charities

Ahead of the US election result I’ll share this from the opening plenary at #IFC2024. I’ll hope no-one has to rot in prison for 27 years before a nation can come to its senses and one person can be free to speak in these terms.

“… I wanted to give something back”. Might it be better if, in a world of limited resources and time, you didn’t take something out or away in the first place?
