Just to say - I'm not using Twitter any more, for the obvious reasons. After 16 years (!!). But do find me over on Instagram, which also has significant 'issues' of course but is, at least, usually much more positive and/or less awful. instagram.com/itsdavidgauntl…

It's nice to make things! Recent releases include 'Creativity' book & audiobook (it's a book about the *doing* of creativity), an EP & two singles (it's electronic music), and two new videos (it's talks about creativity with pictures) - links to all at linktr.ee/davidgauntlett

Gaza is a 'textbook genocide'. This is according to Raz Segal - an Israeli associate professor of Holocaust and genocide studies at Stockton University in the US. Listen carefully to what he says. It's based on facts, law and precedent - and it should terrify you.

Gaza is "Textbook Genocide': Holocaust Scholar

Raz Segal - associate professor of Holocaust and genocide studies at Stockton University - offers a masterclass which is as chilling as it is urgent.

Watching Zoe Gardner calmly demolish Jonathan Gullis’s cliche question on UK asylum seekers is a thing of beauty.

No, COVID didn't kill #creativity. In fact, the pandemic may have made us even MORE #creative. More from @UA_magazine. bit.ly/3lcxGye @DrCherylT @davidgauntlett @kloetzel_dance
Did COVID kill creativity? - University Affairs

The pandemic became a rare chance for academic creatives to witness the power of imagination and why it matters.

Here’s a thread about thinking of your creative things as a ‘body of work’. It says “Worry less about the tiny details of individual items. The body of work is a thing to be proud of.”

But if we are thinking about adding to your *body of work*, that's a whole collection of interesting things. It takes the pressure off, because now you’re making one more interesting thing among many, rather than stressing about it being your best thing ever. >>

Making things and sharing them doesn’t have to be about big hits: it can be just as powerful when it’s something small, shared with a few people you love. Collectively, it adds up. Worry less about the tiny details of individual items. The body of work is a thing to be proud of.
