Another morning , another #StAndrews sunrise ❤️🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿

Word of the day is most definitely ‘hurkle-durkling’ (19th-century Scots): to linger in bed long after it’s time to get up.

As I was born on a Friday , according to Ghanaian culture I’m “Kofi” 🙌

Bill Gates said, “Philanthropy should be taking much bigger risks than business. If these were easy problems, business and government can come in and solve them." That’s role the 3rd sector play in our communities…take note 🙌

It’s the season of good will and all that. We can all become helpers and healers. Remember one person helps make a bad day a slightly better day. Make 2025 the year you become a helper. #BePurposelyKind Merry Christmas

It’s Christmas 🤩

Co-creation cannot be a single issue headline thing, it has to be an ongoing process that supports services to evolve alongside societal challenges…………… Simple question - Why Isn’t this Happening at scale ?

Die hard - yes or no ? #Underpressure

#StAndrews #fife #Scotland ❤️

When you come to work and see something that reminds you how epic your colleagues at @thewisegroup.bsky.social are ❤️

“Scotland could be the first country in the UK to pass ­ecocide legislation, but only if MSPs support it.” #StopEcocide #EcocideLaw www.sundaypost.com/fp/binned-po...

“One is how we, in a time where finances are constrained – we’re always constrained, but especially now – make the money we’ve got go further. “ - a focus on programmes that create legacy/sustainability & not dependency , less intermediaries move to direct contracting with performance expectations

Tuesday Obs - Queuing for the plane- you have a seat , you know when it leaves , you know your baggage allowance……and yet …….random queuing behaviour prevails 🤷‍♂️🤣

Interesting data-based thread on how perceptions of crime differ from reality. Some of this is the 'availability heuristic' (community.macmillanlearning.com/t5/psycholog...)

My @heraldscotland.bsky.social column on the new earlier release legislation: a step in the right direction, but so much more to be done to reverse the damage of sentence inflation, and to make meaningful rehabilitation possible. www.heraldscotland.com/politics/vie...
