Help. A washed-out old balloon has landed in my garden. Should I feed it?

The awesome Sam Villis (@stamanfar.bsky.social) hosted the first #OneTeamGov virtual meet-up of 2026 this week. One of the things we discussed was doing a 10th anniversary #unconference next year in 2027. Please like and repost if you're interested.

A square graphic rotated slightly clockwise. Inside the square, the text 'ONE TEAM GOV' is stacked in three lines. Both the border and the text use a vibrant color gradient that transitions from bright orange at the top left to deep pink at the bottom right.

Technical design *is* business process design *is* team design *is* service design *is* user centred design. If you insist that one is superior to another or that you don’t need to concern yourself with all aspects, you’re doing your organisation and your users a disservice. This course looks great!

Many orgs drown in strategy documents. They can't find alignment because they've said too many things in too many documents. Their way of fixing it is paying someone to go in and create one document to rule all documents. Let's listen to Giles and stop creating more strategy documents! 🙌

Seen this going around but I’m Reposting it with the full alt text bc everyone deserves to read this glorious reply from Boy George

A Twitter reply from Boy George to JKR. JKR said something predictably terfy.

Boy George’s reply:

This is your obsession and it's pretty relentless and for no reason. You don't get to decided who or what anyone is except when you write. In the real world people can and always will be what they want to be. You can't stop it but you can continue to make young kids lives more difficult. You are cruel JK, you have started to look cruel in pictures. All this obsession is wearing on your expression. The pictures of you mocking 'trans' people like Winston Churchill after the Supreme Court ruling. Your endless comments about how rich you are. It's depressing and tacky and proves you are desperate to mean something but sadly you are just being mean.
As my hilarious friend David Hoyle always says.
'Ladies & gentlemen and those of you still deciding. There are two type of people, nice people and c***s.
I do not expect any positive response and you will continue to be supported by women who see you as some kind of gender hero. Women are not better than men and men are not better than women. As a man, a biological one, rah, rah, I have no issue with a girl becoming a boy or the other way around. As a gay man who has worn make-up since 14 l had lived my entire life feeling awkward and afraid using male public toilets.
It's not easy being different and you are only making it harder. Why don't you buy a nice Scottish island or a farm and start a JK commune for traumatised Terfs. Or listen to your fellow Scott Sydney Banks and he will hopefully help you understand that this is all in your head.

I wrote a book! The timing is... weird, to say the least. But it's here, it's real, and it's available for purchase at your favorite online bookseller. Buy a copy. Buy several. I won't judge. Note: I was fully unprepared for how weird it was to hold my own book in my hands.

The cover of Sustainable Content: How to Measure and Mitigate the Carbon Footprint of Digital Data. The cover is white, simple, and almost exclusively text-based, with the exception of an on/off icon that looks like it's been crafted from leaves.

Your org cannot design or deliver functioning ecosystems because it does not have controlled lists of things, types, what each thing is, standards, definitions and naming conventions. Boring to many, in comparison to fancy Figma doodles, but you can't do anything meaningful without them.
