I just headed up to bed, desperate to hit the sack, only to find I'd stripped the sheets earlier and not remade it.

They don't care. Trump can do not wrong. The base would claim everyone is lying apart from Trump. Despite the evidence of their own eyes.
The only thing, the ONLY thing, that would move them against him is a significant impact on thier pockets of his actions. Even then, he'd blame the former govt.

IWD: Let's Get Real About the Women Chosen to Lead - Zee Feed If we’re serious about achieving women's liberation, we need to be more thoughtful about the women we push to the front.

@aishadown.bsky.social would love to chat about the IWD website. About 4 years ago I- and others- went to The Guardian with what I found out about the founder.

This covers similar ground: share.google/U9MYC3Y5JqBZ...

Doomsday Clock - Bulletin of the Atomic Scientists It is 89 seconds to midnight.

We are at 85 seconds to midnight - four seconds sooner than last year. We are closer to our own self-destruction than any other time since the end of the second world war.

It's a reporting restriction. Once someone has been arrested and likely to be charged with an offence, UK reporting restrictions mean journalists can't imply guilt, otherwise it undermines court proceedings. That's why they use 'allegedly' it covers them against potential contempt of court.

Delighted #BuildingInclusion has been recognised! @marsharamroop.bsky.social did a little dance to celebrate. Great citation too: "Clear, practical, deeply informed... It's thoughtful. It's relevant and accessible. And it's a valuable tool for professionals across the sector".

If we're to be better at sustainable development we must recognise this is not just about climate action, but biodiversity protection too. Also, we must stop throwing it to individuals to make change. The #BuiltEnvironment must fundamentally change its practices to reduce emissions & impact. #LREF25

Is it too early to take issue with the setting of the agenda at #LREF25?!
#InclusiveGrowth is an oxymoron, & #AI is in the hands of a powerful few... not setting us up for shared prosperity which would lead to better outcomes for people, place & planet.
We need to talk about SMEs... not yet heard.

Our world faces a crisis as yet unpercieved by those [with] great power to make great decisions for good or evil. The unleashed power of the atom has changed everything, save our modes of thinking. A new type of thinking is essential if [hu]mankind is to survive and [reach] higher levels. -Einstein

Fellow professionals have nominated me for this illustrious group. It is beyond humbling; I feel like an interloper!

So, for those who nominated me, thanks everso much.

Importantly, if you would like to see a change, I ask, don't just seek #inspiration, be the #transformation.

The Intercessor Initiative We're training paralegals to support unrepresented workers at Employment Tribunals. Without help, only 1% win. That must change.

#Justice needs #funding:

Who has access to legal support and who doesn't is a matter of privilege not priority and that doesn't seem right to me.

Consider a contribution here:

SEX ISN'T BINARY πŸ€·πŸΎβ€β™€οΈ

If it has been clearly medically researched that #sex isn't #binary, that there are a number of biological and cultural factors that determine gender what evidence did the UK Supreme #Court use in its #judgment?

If other countries have more assignment choices than simply male and female, does that make those countries and cultures wrong? India, Germany, Iceland, Kenya... Hm. That would be very neo-colonial thinking. 

To understand more about the background to the factors that determine biological sex, please check out Scientific American 's publications on this from 2017 and 2018.

Women, minorities fired in purge of NIH science review boards Scientists, with expertise in fields that include mental health, cancer and infectious disease, typically serve five-year terms and were not given a reason for their dismissal.

Thirty-eight of 43 experts cut last month from the boards that review the science and research that happens in laboratories at the National Institutes of Health are female, Black or Hispanic, according to an analysis by the chairs of a dozen of the boards.

Of course you have faced the dilemma: it is announced, they all smirk and rise. If they are ultra, they remove their hats and look ecstatic; then they look at you. What shall you do? Noblesse oblige; you cannot be boorish, or ungracious; and too, after all it is your country and you do love its ideals if not all of its realities. Now, then, I have thought of a way out: Arise, gracefully remove your hat, and tilt your head. Then sing as follows, powerfully and with deep unction. They’ll hardly note the little changes and their feelings and your conscience will thus be saved:

My country tis of thee,
Late land of slavery,
         Of thee I sing.
Land where my father’s pride
Slept where my mother died,

Slept where my mother died,
From every mountain side
         Let freedom ring!

My native country thee
Land of the slave set free,
         Thy fame I love.
I love thy rocks and rills
And o’er thy hate which chills,
My heart with purpose thrills,
         To rise above.

Let laments swell the breeze
And wring from all the trees
          Sweet freedom’s song.
Let laggard tongues awake,
Let all who hear partake,
Let Southern silence quake,
         The sound prolong.

Our fathers’ God to thee
Author of Liberty,
         To thee we sing
Soon may our land be bright,
With Freedom’s happy light
Protect us by Thy might,
         Great God our King.

Is Google Maps changing Gulf of Mexico to Gulf of America? It is the firm's "longstanding practice" to observe updates from official sources - in this case requested by Donald Trump.

A reminder in the UK, the body of water between the English south coast & north France is called the 'English Channel', but 'La Manche' in France, because it looks like a sleeve.

I'd pay this less attention to 47s renaming & keep an eye on the reasons for him doing it.
