Don’t Do Team Meetings
Regular team meetings are often treated as a default part of work. They are seen as a sign of coordination, alignment, and healthy communication. In practice, they often reveal the opposite.
A recurring team meeting where everyone goes around the room to explain what they did last week is usually not a good use of time. It turns communication into a performance instead of a real exchange of useful information. If the team needs a formal meeting just to learn what people have been doing, that is often a sign that day-to-day communication is already failing.

Resonates strongly, this is so true, 🙏🏻 for sharing it:
" The technology we need most badly is the technology of community, the knowledge about how to cooperate to get things done."Bill McKibben
(Thinking back to ‘group-work’ days at school & uni; what did we actually learn? An open question!)

KWLOT: NEIGHBOURS WORKING TOGETHER
When people think of a library, they largely think of books. But the KW Library of Things (KWLoT), offers tents, sewing machines, mitre saws and more.
Launched as a partnership with Extend-a-Family Waterloo Region (EAFWR) in 2018 by Wilfrid Laurier University graduate student Devon Fernandes, KWLoT’s catalogue has grown from 350 items to over 1,000 available to its 350 members.
KWLoT has four membership tiers that offer different options for the number of items that can be checked out and the length of the loan. Annual memberships range from $50 for the base to $500 for the community builder membership, which covers the cost of three base memberships for other community members.
The library was started as a school project by Fernandes, a community psychology student at Laurier working under Felix Munger in the psychology department. Fernandes was researching other community-based lending libraries and was searching for a host partner when they approached the team at EAFWR.
EAFWR supports individuals with disabilities and others who face barriers by fostering connection and inclusion throughout the community. Al Mills, executive director at EAFWR, said the organization was a willing partner for the program.
Mills said the program serves three purposes for the organization; promoting a sharing economy, providing paid and volunteer opportunities for people living with disabilities and leading a mission to be environmental stewards by keeping excess waste out of landfills.
“For many of our members, we’re giving them access to things that they either don’t have the money to afford; they don’t have a space to store it, or maybe they only need it once a year,” Mills said.
The KWLoT is managed by paid staff and volunteers, many of whom are supported by EAFWR and its programs.
While the main benefit to members is reducing the need for multiple people to purchase the same items, Kim Sproul, KWLoT program manager, said that is only part of the program’s role in environmental stewardship. KWLoT offers volunteer-led repair clinics and workshops for people in the community who want to extend the life of an item, from electronics to clothing.
“We have a local beauty of a human being named Murray Zink who works with the University of Waterloo’s UWRepairHub. He started bringing his volunteers, and you don’t just drop off your items. You sit with them as they repair it, and they’ll talk you through it and ask about the item and what it means to you,” she said.
KWLoT received a grant from the Ontario Trillium Foundation in 2025 to hire additional staff as it expands its catalogue and workshops. Mills said the organization is also looking for environmentally motivated partners who can help support their work to reduce waste.
As the organization enters its eighth year, Mills said they are still guided by their belief that “we’re better off together.”
“Our goal is to be a community of belonging. KWLoT is a demonstration project of what it can be like when neighbours work together and share what they have,” Mills said.

Decades ago, Nora and I spent a whole afternoon sitting right here on lawn-chairs and painting. Perhaps the most memorable art session of my life. #art #artsession #artist #artists #artistsession #workingtogether #artistsworkingtogether #artcoop #coop #field #pennsylvania

Chlöe Swarbrick from New Zealand: "Don’t let the people who rigged the system for their benefit have you believe this is the best things get. We deserve so much better."

Your Magic Is Real installed in Arlington, #Texas !
Phew, on Monday evening, this was installed in NYC, and now, Thursday evening it is installed in Texas. In 2 days we deinstalled it, and drove over 1,500 miles in a box truck before installing it in Texas in a day! I even remade the "U" in "YOU" after it broke in transit! I still cannot believe we did that! None of it possible without the amazing teams we had on both ends.
Officially, this piece takes a week to do this, but in this way, Urbanglass could have it for its big fundraiser gala, AND it could be installed for the Glass Art Society conference this year in Texas. The Arts institution admins won't ever see this post ;) -they are too busy scrolling reels.
Your Magic Is Real (made in collaboration with Marco, Jason, and Alicia Eggert) opens at the Arlington Museum of Art in Texas tomorrow evening- alongside the De La Torre brothers- I am so excited!

Ya de vuelta en Uppsala, os dejo un pequeño vídeo sobre mi viaje a #Canfranc. He visitado el Laboratorio Subterráneo de Canfranc (https://lsc-canfranc.es/en/home-2/) para acudir al workshop i+d radon organizado esta semana. Una reunión muy interesante donde hemos discutido la actualidad del radón en España. Gracias a Laboratorio Subterráneo de Canfranc por organizar esta reunión. #radon #gasradon #spain #españa #aragon #huesca #pirineos #workingtogether #ciencia #science https://youtu.be/RijZ9L28cE0

Ralph Wardlaw, Scottish Congregationalist minister, says there are cases of poverty which require a refusal because of character.
Harsh? I’ve heard of development orgs giving to women, per se, over men because the husbands wasted $ on booze & gambling, but women invested in their children.
How can you be careful with your donations, yet avoid \withholding from all, based on stereotypes about “character”?

"Pull Requests create blocking problems as people wait for approvals or merges. This has yielded many new experiments and practices—async pull requests, ephemeral PR environments, and byzantine branching strategies.
I can't help but wonder if we're spiraling toward complexity here for no good reason."

What I've learned over the past week with my mom home from work (a well deserved vacation) is that I get more done with a partner. We've done things this week we've been putting off for months because we're working together. Fun fact our Christmas tree is still up because we've been too overwhelmed, depressed, too busy, worried about the dust (we both have dust allergies and asthma), or too tired to take it down. We're finally doing it tomorrow.
