We are also encouraging individuals to take action. We have provided a template letter that you can use to write to your own MP, outlining your personal concerns and asking them to push for proper scrutiny of the Code. It is vital that MPs hear directly from the people whose lives will be affected.

I do not like that we in Denmark and the EU have to spend so much on weapons and defence rather than welfare and quality of life. But I like even less the idea of sending my children to fight wars we were told couldn't happen and losing control over our own rights and protections.

And if we want to get anything done on a range of subjects from #ClimateChange and #BiodiversityCrisis to #democracy, #Humanrights, #equality and bodily autonomy as well as #techRegulation + ethical AI then we need to carry the big sticks.

And we need to do all this without leaving Ukraine as a hostage to fortune.

However, we're here and we're not going away...

There's no surprises here for women in their 60s+.

Times were different. Class C National Insurance, often no pensions on offer, expectations to stay home, part-time, low pay even in the same jobs as men.

Women can't catch up on those decades, can't time-travel & build pensions.

Let's hope future generations of women have equality in retirement.

FFS did the orange amoeba actually say that the Smithsonian focuses too much on "how bad slavery was"?

It is unconscionable that any human on our entire planet could think such a thing.

Everyday in every way I am thoroughly disgusted to my core by his abhorent, monsterous behaviour.

The New York Times · Trump Says Smithsonian Focuses Too Much on ‘How Bad Slavery Was’By Zolan Kanno-Youngs

🧍‍♀️ 🕴️ The recent Air Canada strike triggered a conversation with a man who was shocked the fight attendants weren't paid for on the ground work time. I mentioned many female-dominated work areas are the same. He repeatedly insisted "in his ( limited) experience" that was not true.

After offering examples and hearing his repeated denial for said reasons I said lost patience and offered this reply:

"I am saying it is a lack of interest, not experience that is leading you to your conclusions.
It took me decades to learn this: Listening is not passive, it requires participation, including actively making an effort to seek out unfamiliar voices
Saying "it's not within my scope of experience" is a not a valid excuse for being ignorant about an issue.
People try to use the same excuse for not addressing issues like racism, LGBTQ+ rights, First Nations rights, etc...and how politics affects all that.

"I don't see it" and "I don't hear it"
means
"I choose not to see/hear."

The main issue with freeing the kids, is that kids cannot vote. This is not un-doable. With slaves, slaves could not vote. But there were enough non-slaves that agreed that slaves should be freed. So it passed through. With women rights until some point in time women couldn't vote too. But there were e...

The quiet, matter-of-fact takeover of women holding senior economist roles

I appreciate the way that women have been held back, systematically. But thee mantra ‘if only we had more women at senior levels’ is clearly flawed. The women ‘in charge’ have been educated in the same places (Oxford for example) and are no better than any of their male predecessors at thinking for themselves.

Sorry if this offends… well not really.
