Last Friday's @PelotonLiv #JoyRide was a top one. The folk from @HomesVitality took control and led sixty of us on a ride round South Liverpool.

When we got to the Festival Gardens, @JonathanWalman was waiting for us on the Chinese pagoda.
We took a break while he performed a little electro-acoustic set 🤩🚲🎶🎸

Now @cathholland01 is not our usual MC. But as @amcewen is ill she is stepping into the fray.
This photo has come true.

Did you know? #Liverpool has a magical corridor waiting to be explored - be it on foot, bike or wheelchair.
Discover the recently revamped Loop Line.
It's like a whole new world - on your doorstep.

Lovely to catch up with @wimpyking earlier.
We worked with him on the Electric Liverbird, and he's written a piece about it for its entry in our catalogue.

I've got ~55GB of video to process from yesterday's #CarFree Sunday ride. While I work through that, here's a one-minute clip.

So Adam Greenfield's concept of a #Lifehouse, a community hub for crisis-response and #MutualAid led to me exploring what @DoESLiverpool is, and how it overlaps with that.
Musings on #makerspaces, a convivial future, and our pandemic response.

Hey, @MerseyFerries, I'm pretty sure finding out the ferry timetables on your website shouldn't require me to allow your marketing cookies.

For some reason 🤔 we figured it might be worth mentioning that we got a new #Mastodon account just recently.
Give us a follow at social.mcqn.com/@museuminabo… if you're also hanging out on the #Fediverse (& shout if you're curious about is all and want some hints on getting started)

Social.coop is a Mastodon instance cooperatively governed by us the users. One virtue of that is the unlikelinesses that we will ever develop sufficient consensus to carry out a rebrand. Join us!

Our friends at @RoyalMintMuseum have been busy with their fleet of Museums in Boxes. They've been sent out on 1000 visits to care homes all across the UK!
The programme is still running if you know a care home that wants to get in on the fun!
Exciting news! We have reached a grand total of 1,000 Reminiscence Box loans. Our 1000th recipient, Harper Fields Care Home, received biscuits, tea and bunting to celebrate! All 1,000 loans are on this map: royalmintmuseum.org.uk/journ…

An idea that began in the summer of 2018 when a scouse mum told me to 'do something for little one will ye' has finally been realised.
Launching 24th July. peloton.coop/events/
too exciting.
Some interesting reading, and it's arguably suitable prep for a day of #civic thinking at the Northern Forum event with @jonjalex, @MatthewBrownLab and @patrick_hurley

If anyone wants to give @DoESLiverpool £7m we'll use it to take a building into the #commons to de-risk our expansion; then continue our sustainable, no-funding co-working/makerspace/civic-experiments model and use the surplus to steadily support more such organisations 😃✊
Sad to not be working alongside @ukglo any more, but she's off doing exciting new things; and we (at @MCQN_Ltd) are looking forward to getting boxes back into production! #weeknotes
We've got some important news to share!
After 8 years at the helm, @ukglo is leaving us to preserve the world's photos (well, lots of them) at @flickrfdn; and @amcewen is stepping up from just-doing-the-tech to take over.

We had a lovely group #InTheSaddle ride last night - out through the Mystery to Broad Green; onto the Loop Line heading North to Rice Lane rec; then over to Bootle for a brief refreshment at the Lock and Quay; then back along the Leeds-Liverpool canal.
