America’s institutions depend on officials to uphold both the rules and spirit of our constitutional system even when to do so is personally inconvenient or yields a politically unfavorable outcome. Our Constitution is brilliant and awesome; it deserves a government to match it.

This #MentalHealthAwarenessweek, why not improve your own #wellbeing by taking half an hour to swap the concrete jungle for some real greenery? You could even make it a regular meet-up with your neighbours! #Tuesdaythoughts #ognio bit.ly/30govxg

One the most surreal elements of #Venezuela’s crisis is how life grinds on in the most uncertain times. There was an uprising in the AM, protesters are being turned backed with tear gas and plastic pellets just blocks away, but they’re also filling this pizzeria for a lunch break

"Our face-to-face relationships are, quite literally, a matter of life or death" @jenny_stevens highlights perfectly the importance of face-to-face interactions. Ognio wants to help by facilitating face-to-face interactions w/ neighbours! #Startup #Tech ow.ly/hcBf50rwm3O

A concept the team at #Ognio have been discussing a lot recently is #coliving. This article by @angiekdonati generated a lot of debate. ow.ly/pCB750qsnXb As a #socialtech #startup looking to build #trust and #community we want to know - Would you consider coliving?

We'll need to be mindful of new EU copyright rules. @BBCTech reports, "if users upload infringing content to a service, the tech firm involved must either make a 'best effort' to get permission from the rights holders or quickly remove it." bbc.in/2XkneD8 #technology

Is cohousing a solution to help prevent social isolation and build community? Would you consider it? At #Ognio we're always looking for successful ways to build and strengthen #community and #trust! ow.ly/t2ge50qshgH #startup #socialtech

#Anthropologists might hold the answers to the most difficult #workplace challenges, via @InsightOnWork @ChrisDiming1. Sharing again because, well, it can't really be said enough. Then take it to the next level by using a cultural evolutionary framework ht.ly/YJq030os2wh

Have you ever wondered the difference between #Uber & #Lyft? This article helps break things down and also shows how expensive it is to operate in the ride hailing business. #Ognio #transport
Uber and Lyft going to be competing for stock investors. Here's how they compare, in 4 charts: nyti.ms/2KwPUqX

A thought-provoking piece about community-building and self-expression in suburbia. How do we best build #community and real connection in the urban core and the suburbs in an alienating digital age? bit.ly/2GbMfuy #Ognio #Technology #Tech #Startup #socialmovement – at London, England
