Shop with small independents (like me) instead of the big high street names.

So much to despair at in the UK at the moment (out-Torying the Tories really isnโt a good look for a Labour government), but Iโll share this as it seems likely to receive less attention.

โManchester had been very kind to me, but after 18 years, it was time to move on, if I could. I had been turned down for professorships in 3 universities which were within a reasonable travelling distance from our home on the edge of the Pennines. How glad I now am! If any had accepted me, I would not have had the life that I have had.โ
Train reading. Some disclosures have the ability to startle (but sadly not surprise).
Needless to say huge benefits came from this academic shortsightedness regarding a very prominent woman in law.

But what of #solidarity preconditions? Undoubtedly #trust #transparency are takeaways from the vaccine success stories (Emer Cooke) and civil society (Mikael Leyi). Also looking at different levels - person-level solidarity needs support #solidarityinfrastructures @bprainsack.bsky.social #EHFG2025
