Bit short notice for this one, sorry about that, but for anyone curious about this stuff I'm learning (Clean Language / Systemic Modelling), there's a free webinar later today!

If you're interested, you can sign up either via this page, or via the Clean in Montana web site which you can click through to from the listing.

Or there are a few more similar things over the next few months with different themes.

New year, new people arriving here... new re-intro post!

Jennifer here, old queer writer / musician / geek, based in Nottingham, England.

Music-wise, I write songs and play bass, as well as having violin skills and occasionally writing for orchestra. Latest just-for-fun music thing is practising on drum kit when I get the chance: nothing flash, just playing along to songs I like.

A big learning-interest for me right now is Systemic Modelling, a set of tools for catalysing collective intelligence in groups.

Work-wise, my main thing currently is the organisational side of (mostly online) courses for people to learn about SysMod. Being in & around all that is great for my own learning, so I'm pretty happy with work at the moment.

Covid-careful. Still following the science updates. Recently did a long blog post about having and mostly-recovering-from Long Covid.

Used to be a regular at BiCon the UK bi conference/ convention; dipped in again in 2025 when it came to Nottingham.

This year, I want to do more blog-writing and music-recording... and maybe catalyse a covid-careful social meetup of some kind, although limits of energy & time might hinder that wish.

In terms of party politics, right now I'm liking the look of what the Green Party are up to.

I've been on Fedi since late 2022 when I realised Twitter was headed down the dumper, and overall I really like it here.

Sometimes I post about little bits of sewing-mending I've done or button badges I've designed, or the odd pic (with alt text) of a tree or flower or moss.

Lived in Leiden NL for a few years as a child, went to school there, still speak some Dutch. I never seemed to see any Dutch tweets back in the Twitter days, I suppose because the algorithm there was segregating the languages. I like how the Fediverse software doesn't do that, thereby assisting me to keep that bit of my brain ticking over :-)

If you want to know more, ask &/or follow :-)

Clean Questions allow the receiver to answer in whatever way they want. They are designed to be minimally constraining. So together we have the freedom to think unfettered thoughts.

These moments of safety, belonging and freedom can be the antidote to microaggressions and, over time and across communities, can inspire capability so that we can live and work at our best in groups.

Clean Questions, when applied in teams, have a number of benefits.

Firstly, they create the conditions for safety. They keep me safe from any unconscious bias I have about you. They keep you safe from my projections, advice, misunderstanding and premature evaluation. A clean question a day keeps assumptions at bay! #cleanlanguage #SystemicModelling

Applying David Grove's Clean Language, initially to children unable to go to school, this TEDx tells the story of how I developed a universal language of inquiry for developing collective trust across teams and organisations. It shares the unexpected business and personal benefits of fostering intrinsic motivation and deeply trusting the people you live and work with. #DramaFree, #CleanLanguage, #SystemicModelling

New blog post!

I wrote about some cool stuff I've been learning recently, and a few short free online taster/sampler events happening this Monday (UK daytime), open to anyone interested.

Taster topics include

• masking & unmasking (in the sense of freedom to be the way you are - that's the one I'm helping to run)

• autism/ADHD and sex

• how shame & humiliation work in our brains.

Often follow news of #science, #tech, #climate, #sustainability, #covid, #LongCovid, #AirQuality

#Queer in a #bisexual way

Probably not #autistic but do have some of the traits (e.g. I like accurate words & non-scritchy clothes :-) )
