Hello! I'm Toby. I'm Content Strategist at CEA. I work with the Online Team to make sure the Forum is a great place to discuss doing the most good we can. You'll see me posting a lot, authoring the EA Newsletter and curating Forum Digests, making moderator comments and decisions, and more.
Before working at CEA, I studied Philosophy at the University of Warwick, and worked for a couple of years on a range of writing and editing projects within the EA space. Recently I helped run the Amplify Creative Grants program, to encourage more impactful podcasting and YouTube projects. You can find a bit of my own creative output on my blog, and my podcast feed.

Man, I was just re-reading the 'why I donate' posts while compiling the Digest. Some really beautiful sentiments in there.
I grew up in a deeply ironic and uncaring culture (i.e. I went to an all boys school). I didn't like it! It means a lot to me to be in a community now where people can write such heartfelt and authentic posts.
Some of my favourites:
- Lorenzo's post, for a great articulation of money considered as a vote: "€1.70 votes to be allocated into a slice of pizza for Lorenzo" or "$5.85 votes for an insecticide-treated bednet for a family in DRC"
- Aaron's post: this one made me emotional, which surprised me given the Pokemon-rap context. I think it was the picture Aaron made of the world conspiring to create something he loved.
- Bentham's Bulldog: The title alone is wonderful "A Life That Cannot Be A Failure"
Wrapped sort of feels like a roundabout way to give myself a compliment lol.
I didn't know who my most-read authors would be though - thanks for all the great posts @Vasco Grilo🔸, @Bentham's Bulldog, @Lizka !
I'm also a top 1% @Lizka reader, in part because I read the Forum norms doc so often. Lizka's great work on the Forum is still paying dividends - nice one!
