Today is a day when arts degrees are worthless, but the product of those degrees is so valuable it would kill an entire industry if they were made to pay for it.

I know coincidence exists, but how very bizarre to chance upon your post the moment I finished watching this film this evening! Haven’t seen it in over twenty years and I thoroughly reappraised and enjoyed it! I knew Hop Toad was up to no good! 🦍 🔥

Six years ago, consistently polling around 2%. Now, above 10%.

Green councillors leapt from fewer than 200 to nearly 900.

Green MPs from one to four.

This is the beginning.

Thank you! I’ll add it to somewhere near the very top of my ‘places to visit’ list. Canada has always rated highly with me.

Andy Futter @andyfutter.bsky.social · 6d

What’s one of the most? If I wanted to visit - where would you recommend? 😃

The Autistic Coach | Matthew (he/they) @theautisticcoach.bsky.social · 6d

The hardest part of work isn’t the tasks.

It’s the endless small talk.

The unspoken rules.

The expectation to be “on” all the time.

Autistic people aren’t bad at working.

We’re tired of performing jobs inside jobs.

Oh yes. Absolutely wait. Include a short note to say “References available on request” but don’t include the referees themselves

Andy Futter @andyfutter.bsky.social · 8d

Oh dear GOD. My phone was on far too loud and one of the cats leapt out of his skin the moment that music started!

Can’t say I’m sad that I missed that the first time, but thank you for filling the gap in my knowledge!

Andy Futter @andyfutter.bsky.social · 8d

😆😆😆 Absolutely brutal!
