Military folk + the Armed Forces Covenant.

What's the best guide you've read that really explains the Covenant, how it works, its strengths and its limitations?

Looking for an independent analysis of it in detail.

"The economists...described the results as โ€œconservativeโ€ because they did not account for the record-breaking wildfires that torched southern Europe last month or the compounding impact of extreme weather events that strike at the same time."

Trump administration to destroy nearly $10m of contraceptives for women overseas As part of presidentโ€™s shuttering of USAID, destruction of the contraceptives will cost US taxpayers $167,000

This is obscene: Trump administration to destroy nearly $10m of contraceptives for women overseas -- at an additional cost of $167,000 to do so. Vindictive, self-righteous zealots!

In the UK you get a message telling you your blood donation has been used and where it was used, mine went from Sheffield to Manchester to Southport where it helped help to save someoneโ€™s life. Hereโ€™s a reminder to book to donate if youโ€™ve been thinking about it but forgotten.

Trumpโ€™s not even hiding it. Lots of folks been talking for a while about how people would be buying up cheap stock waiting for it to rise again & here he is telling people to do exactly that, no shame whatsoever. Some people are getting very rich from this, everyone else should be pi$$ed off.

I would love to see more research teams employ data managers. While roles like data scientists and research analysts are crucial for analyzing data, those roles often don't have the time to develop standardized and documented processes that lead to better data. #databs

Unprecedented study to support Veterans with genital injuries - The Scar Free Foundation Armed Forces Covenant Fund Trust grant will enable first large-scale research on psychosocial impact and support needs.

Conflict genital injuries from military service have been overlooked, consequently support has been limited. Building on our previous research & working with the Scar Free Foundation, our new research project will change this. Links to 2 research posts in comments scarfree.org.uk/blog/unprece...

This is really unbelievable. When we talk about digital security, I teach my students not to send in a digital message anything they wouldnโ€™t want public knowledge. Surely these people are stupid,but maybe they just think theyโ€™re untouchable?

Trump Quietly Made 3 Chilling Moves Against Reproductive Freedom Opinion | The moves are all steps toward achieving the Project 2025 goals of banning abortion and restricting access to birth control nationwide.

Last week while Trump was yelling about tariffs, DOJ lawyers were laying the groundwork to enact multiple provisions of Project 2025โ€”on the abortion pill mifepristone, emergency abortions, and โ€œdefundingโ€ Planned Parenthood.

Labour need to sort their shit out if they think calling things after Musk will fly here. This will not win votes from the right & will piss off most left of centre. An efficient healthcare system is a moral obligation but do not cite Musk and his violent illegal acts as inspiration & a blueprint.

Social media companies bear some responsibility, but this needs a more involved response that involves talking to men and boys, listening to their voices and working with society, family, school etc at early years and right throughout the life course.
