There are…….. 32 days till Christmas….there it is…. it’s out of the bag and it can’t be walked back. If you weren’t already anxious then use this on your web browser https://days.to/until/christmas.

But in all seriousness, lest Trump’s tribulations, Boris’ b*lls up or the chaos that is Covid drown out anything else in the world, here are the 9 other big things that we should be aware of .

As we increasingly spend more time looking at our screens, WeTransfer (yes of the file transfer platform) shares a lovely illustrated story about finding a “screen-free-career”. (the irony that this is a digital article is not lost on me)

As funding takes a battering in many charities, some will be considering those nuance laden words such as “restructuring” and “transformation”, and all with an aim of becoming more “agile”. But what is agile? A short podcast provides an interesting overview of where the term comes from and what it really means as does the recent ODI working paper written by our very own Jamie Pett.

And finally something for the eyes and ears.

As the days get shorter, and the darkness creeps in earlier and earlier, kick back and chill to this wonderful playlist by DJJimQ …. From the politically charged anthems of MC5, Public Enemy, and Gil-Scott Heron to the exaggerated claims of awesomeness from Shy Glizzy to Death Grip’s visceral and evocative Guillotine, these tracks should leave you radicalized.

…..while meandering through Oslo’s street art.
