Tessa Quinn: “Scotland welcomed 29,000 Ukrainian refugees… we had 2 ops staff and a spreadsheet” #campdigital
Who knew that the GOV.UK website design was inspired by tried and tested motorway signage? (even sharing the same font). The things you learn at #CampDigital
“Don’t be a research vampire, going in and sucking out what you want from the community” @rochellegold.bsky.social Reminds me of patient involvement group who coined “we want to be at the table, not on the menu” 🧛 #CampDigital
Powerful keynote from Himal Mandala on the parallels between personal burn out and organisations that require heroics from individuals in order to simply cope. Slack in the system is necessary for organisations and humans - it’s the space to sense risk and set boundaries 🙌 #CampDigital
Rochelle Gold on neighbourhood care in the NHS: less “what’s the matter with you?”, more “what matters to you?” #campdigital @rochellegold.bsky.social
Really honest and insightful personal reflections from @himal.bsky.social about slack as mental capacity, how when we lose this we also lose the ability to notice signals, and how heroics can feel good and can be useful in a crisis but we don’t want to be in a perpetual crisis #CampDigital
i should probably print this out and pin it to my monitor to save me the trouble of a lot of online arguments.

Another beautiful #monkigras 🥰 Such an eclectic mix of speakers, and (as ever) incredible food and drink.
"If we make responding to change part of the plan we are more likely to actually do it.". - @mattlemay.com Sounds like #monkigras
Resilience in communities, in Oaxaca and Minneapolis, boils down to recognising interdependence and simply helping others when they need it @kimmykimkimber.bsky.social @wiredferret.bsky.social #monkigras
It is so inhuman to take what other people need. I think there are a lot of people with a “wendigo spirit” in power right now. Great talk on resilience in communities by @kimmykimkimber.bsky.social and @wiredferret.bsky.social #monkigras
Speaker book recommendation: "Seeing Gender: An Illustrated Guide to Identity and Expression" by Iris Gottlieb #monkigras
Intersex births are about 1.7% of births which is about the same as the percentage of kids with red hair. #monkigras
I’ve never played it but I have friends who have — love @azimman.bsky.social using Silksong as an allegory for describing the experience as a cis parent raising a trans child. #monkigras
“We can have a future where every student and teacher is supported by cognitive aids built for their benefit and growth. Not for exploitation and surveillance.” Really appreciate the optimism in this talk, @daniloc.xyz, admittedly I’ve been quite pessimistic lately. #monkigras
An actual prepper talk with Chad Metcalf talking about the US variety of the movement. "Prepping is about personal agency".
