Boosts and survey responses greatly appreciated 🌱😊🌟
I developed a juicy concept for the EU's call for proposals "CERV call to intermediaries" and already received encouraging feedback from Kontaktstelle CERV that the idea is solid and has a decent chance to become a successful bid.
This idea needs a new organisational home, do you want to adopt it 🐥? Message me if interested or if you know someone, happy to hop on a discovery call in the coming days!
A little* project chicklet (look how cute it is: 🐣 ) was just rejected by a client of mine. (*Actually not so little, it might raise several millions so it's more like a baby dinosaur really.) No hard feelings, it just wasn’t their focus area.
Now. If you know an EU-based environmental NGO that...
🌱 sees environmental NGOs as essential defenders of human rights and EU values
🌱 wants 2.5 to 6 million EUR to support smaller environmental NGOs with money AND capacity-building
we should chat!
Ahhh the balaaaaance ☯️
On the negative side, it's quite stunning to see how many people have become inactive as well. These days, I'm mostly active on LinkedIn where it's more lively than on here.
It’s getting boring on my TL and I think I want a clean slate by just keeping my mutuals and erasing the rest of my follows.
Is there an automated way to do that via the #Mastodon browser client?
“I witnessed almost every publication that I once held in esteem become complicit in normalizing a level of death once billed as incalculable. It was galling, crushing work that wrecked my faith in journalism & its institutions.”

The gavel just came down on #COP28, surely one of the most surreal climate summits to date. The main COP agreement is anything but "historic," as a few of today's headlines seem to suggest.
But there was something bigger happening in Dubai: a clear move toward delivering on clean energy.

Hey #UK Mastodon, my friend Giles is looking to help a friend in his job search. Here are the details:
"Can anyone help?
Asking for a friend who is looking for a role in the #Morecambe/ #Lancaster area or possibly even the #SouthLakes.
He has over a decade of experience in the public sector within libraries most recently managing 3 sites in #Trafford with a large team."
Any pointers? Let me know and I'll forward them! Thank you :D
My response to the sad-but-also-a-bit-positive news from COP28: COP is like a lemon.
I hope that everyone who fought the good fight there will get some great stuff and meaning out of it 🍋✨
And I wish the fossil fuel industry and their enablers a very Please Never Show Up Again.
