I'm joining @madetech in a couple of weeks to help get this design and research academy off the ground. It's going to be great and lots of fun! 🔥🌟💓 If you know someone awesome from an under-represented group in tech who would love a career boost, pls share this with them!

Just to give some perspective to the "small boats" migrant crisis - the overall number of the asylum seekers is down 4% since last year and less than 40% of what it was in 2002 when numbers peaked. The UK is 14th in Europe on the number of asylum seekers per capita.

Frustrated by the lack of action at @COP26...here's an episode my Madhav Datt about young people in India and Bangladesh taking action into their own hands, at scale. https://t.co/Rrxnw5F76H

Honestly, so disappointed at media. The Amazonian youth from Brazil and Ecuador lead the entire march today in Glasgow and were up on the main stage for almost 30 minutes. Frontline people at the FRONT LINE. Yet no coverage. This is what invisiblization looks like. #COP26

Your weekend listen is sorted 🎧
