A purple image with a pink clock on a blue background on the right. On the left hand side there is text that reads "This LGBT+ History Month... Ask the Scottish Government - how will history remember this? Do they want to be remembered for standing up for trans people's rights when it really counted or, for standing by when they were at risk?" The Equality Network and Scottish Trans logos are at the bottom.

How will this be remembered?

This History Month, we’re asking you to get in touch with the Scottish Government to ask them how their actions now will be remembered in the years to come: equalrecognition.eaction.org.uk/howwillthisb...

We talked about belief motivating action too. Just confirming that your beliefs about our session proved true 😊 (or perhaps your belief made it so 😉 just in case, please keep believing in our fun!)

Awesome session! We spent time carefully working out what is a belief, setting on a subjectively idea that is held to be true yet can be objectively true/false, still it depends on the ‘something’ (type of object, social construct/metaphysical & context) if beliefs can/do influence what makes it so.

Wombats have the largest brain of any #marsupial. Their blank expressions are just a reflection of the fact that they know they can outsmart you.🧠
